Understanding metrics#
Overview#
Metrics define the information you wish to retrieve, and every provided metric is a column in the report (always to the right of all dimensions). This is useful when you want to fine-tune exactly what information you retrieve.
There is a case to be made that you never need to worry about metrics; if you do not provide any metrics when retrieving reports, analytix will automatically include every metric the report type supports in the report.
All metric data is numeric.
Valid metrics#
Below is a list of available metrics. When no metrics are provided, the metrics will be sorted in this order in the report.
