Goal Count

Overview​

Counts how many times a specific goal event is triggered, even if the same user fires it multiple times.

Examples​

context.track("purchase", {
  price: 1000,
  order_number: "0000982532",
  product_id: "ABC123",
  category_id: "ZYZ123"
});

Given a purchase event shown above, a Total purchases metric could be created. This metric would simply count all the purchases made by participants in the experiment.

Using a metric's filter it is also possible to create Total purchases Category ZYZ123 from such events. In this case, the metric would count all the purchases of product from category ZYZ123.

Good to know​

What you need to know about Goal Count metrics.

  • Good for measuring total activity volume.
  • Simple to understand and compute.
