Metric missing - Average Time Spent on Pages on the Site Content -> Pages Report list of metrics

Hi,

I am using Adobe Analytics v15.

According to the manuals and all the forums relating to the metric "Average Time Spent on Page" it should be available on the report @ Site Content -> Pages.

But, it simply does not appear on the list of available metrics.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks

Dave.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your input!

    There's currently a bug open for this. It is still being discussed internally on how to best address it. If you would like to be updated on the status of the bug, create a ticket with Customer Care stating that you're missing Average Time Spent on Page, and mention bug AN-130920. The agent can tie your incident to the bug from there with minimal hassle.

    It was mentioned that 'Average Time Spent per Visit' will give you similar data; the only difference is that if a page is viewed multiple times in a single visit, they are combined instead of separated. For example, If you spend exactly 1 minute on the following pages:

    A > B > A > C > A

    Average Time Spent per Visit should show 3 minutes for A, 1 minute for B, and 1 minute for C. Average Time Spent on Page would show 1 minute for A, B, and C. However, in the following example:

    A > B > C > D > E

    Average Time Spent per Visit and Average Time Spent on Page would be exactly identical. Hope this helps!

    Thank you for your reply! Just to clarify your above example, is E the last page in the visit or second to last page?  There was some discussion among my teammates who maintain that the time spent on the last page of a visit is not recorded and would not be included as part of the visit length.

      Yes, that is pretty much right, Kristin. Last page's activity time doesn't attribute into the visit length. Avinash has explained it beautifully, PFB.
