Segment with specific combinations of dimensions and metrics

Description -

Allow for segmentation by specific combinations of dimensions and metrics.

 

Why is this feature important to you -

This allows for deeper analysis based on specific visitor behaviour, for example, segment visitors who viewed a specific product page 5 times.

 

How would you like the feature to work -

Example:

A visitor can visit many pages, e.g. A, B, C, etc. I want to segment only those visitors who visited Page A but had only <= 2 Page View of Page A in their visitor lifetime. I.e.
Jack: viewed Page A 1 time in his lifetime —> include in the segment
Jill: viewed Page A 2 times in her lifetime –> include in the segment
Donald: viewed Page A 3 times in his lifetime –> don’t include in the segment

 

Current Behaviour -

The above is not possible. Segmentation can be done by a dimension or a metric, but not a combination of dimensions and metrics. E.g. in the above example, the Page View condition will match based on all page views from the visitor, not just for Page A.

I believe this feature should utilize regular expressions whenever a metric is included along with dimension in a segment. For instance:

 

pageName - dimension

event1 - visits to all pages only when they open on desktop

 

Segment: create a segment which includes visitors who have visited homepage atleast 50 times 

  • Segment scope: Visitor
  • pagename equals homepage
  • event1 >= 50
