Click to page data warehouse dimension

[Danielsks]

Hello analytics lovers,

I guess I have a kinda **bleep** question, I found a dimension called click to page in the data warehouse. In relation to other dimensions and metrics it gives us some pretty strange numbers. We kind of understand it as a dimension of occurences but I would like to know its more specific functioning and definition. Can any of you give me some advice? Thanks a lot, everyone.

I believe that "Clicks to Page" is the number of page views that preceded the current page view (or maybe the number of page views until this point - most of the documentation seems to be gone.. it's likely a legacy field).

So within a Visit:

• Page 1 (Entry)
  • Clicks to Page: 0 (or maybe 1)
• Page 2
  • Clicks to Page: 1 (or maybe 2)
• Page 3
  • Clicks to Page: 2 (or maybe 3)
• etc

This isn't a dimension I've ever used... I would imagine this could be used to see a distribution of how many pages were seen before hitting a specific page (this could be useful as a histogram maybe)...

But given it doesn't appear to be available in Workspace, I would be a little distrustful of it without doing an in-depth validation of it....
