Overview

The Metrics object allows you to apply mathematical and statistical operations to visually analyze and compare your customer data. Use point and click UI to create custom calculations: add, subtract, multiply and aggregate different metric types.

The Metrics object can be accessed under the Insights section. From the Metrics page users can:

• Access the list of created metrics
• Access the metric itself
• Search for the created metric
• Filter the metrics
• Create new metrics
• Edit created metrics names'
• Delete the created metrics
• Duplicate the created metrics
  

Metric types

• Collection-based - these metrics use data from selected source collection fields. You can also apply aggregation function (e.g., total, sum, average) to get deeper data insights.
• Event-based - metrics that use event count calculation to aggregate the metric values. The event metric uses events created via the event editor.
• Metrics-based - metrics are any saved metrics that you can reuse in metric builder UI
• User-based - metrics that use user count data (by an organization or selected source). You can further filter down the metric by selecting total user count or identified/ anonymous user count.
