Exclude certain pages in Next page report

Hi,

I want to look at the next pages for a certain page that do not contain certain tracker ids, thus I'd like to create a segment. Unfortunately if I create one on "Hit" basis, then it doesn't affect the results I get for next pages, if I build it on "Visit" basis, then it excludes too much users. Imagie the following: User starts journey on page A then could continue his journey on pages B, C or D. Page B and C are the same pages, the only thing that is different is that page C has page's B URL plus some tracker id parameters. I want to exclude all possible page C results that have those additional paramters. I cannot break down the results in the Next pages report, thus I have to apply a segment. But how should it be set up?

I tried the following variants:

1) Exclude Hits of eVar that contains the trackerID -> didn't affect results in Next page report
2) Exclude Visits with eVar that contains the trackerID -> excluded too much users (everybody who could click on this link at a later or earlier stage in the user journey).
3) Show Visits of a container that excludes all Hits of eVar that contains trackerID -> same as with #1

Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Since we are looking at customer journey in the next pages report, Visit container seems to be the right choice. 

    You might try out this segment definition:

    Show: Visits

    >page equals Homepage

    Then within 1 pageview exclude

    >evar equals trackerID

    Let me know if this helps out.

      Thank you, seems to work. I wasn't aware that the "Then" option included also traffic metrics. My believe was it is just for time periods.
