Session End Event

There should be an "Event End" which is generated by the server when the Session expires.

This would allow to analyse the value of variables which are counted through a session. 

Just one example, but we already have some use cases: We count the numbers of purchases within a session. If we use the purchase event we would get the session counted for all lower numbers of purchases as well.

ie.  we have three purchases -> on usage of the purchase event (or any other event) we would get 1, 2 and 3 as attributed values. If we have a session end event we woudl count to 3 and would only get 3 for that event and evar combination.

    Hi Sebastian. For the example you provided, it sounds like event serialization might do the trick. By setting an event with serialization when a user purchases, you can effectively count "Visits where a purchase occurred." Dividing orders by this number would tell you, for users who purchase, how many purchases occur in a session. Is that what you are looking for? If not, please clarify. I'm very interested in this.

    Hi, thanks for you suggestion, but in this example I want to count the numbers of purchases within one visit. 

    In sitecatalyst  I only want the final number of purchases.

    eg: A user makes 4 purchases. If I count that in any evar and use the purchase event I will get 1,2,3,4 as values. If we would have a session end event I would only get 4.

     

    This could be used for other purposes as well - if I want to segments visits by number of a certain action within one visit, that would be helpful. 

     

    I could get a session end state of all evars.
