Success Events Reporting

[#1]

How do the page where success event took place vs other pages show up if i pull page name dimension against a particular success event. I assume we should only be seeing the page name where the success event got fired? Is that correct? Currently i see a lot of page name showing up against the success event and i am not sure of how the correlation works? These success events are not enabled for participation.

Hi surabhis88595869,

It's a good question and the answer depends on where you are looking at the pages with the events.  If you are in reports & analytics and just looking at the pages report.  Any events pulled into that report are linearly allocated to pages.  Meaning if you have 1 order, it is divided amongst all the pages seen in the visit (so would be small fractions). 

If you are in workspace and pull in the pages dimension then it is a last allocation to page which would be the page it fired on (assuming it fired on an s.t() call or page view, if it fired in a link request s.tl() then it won't get allocated to the page. 

You could work around this by creating a calculated metric with the event with different allocation types and use those in the various reports. 

I hope that helps,

For standard page view calls, creating a workspace project with page as the dimension and custom event as a metric would be the way to go.

For custom link calls, you'd want to populate an eVar with page name, then send that eVar in all link tracking calls.

Thank you. This was really helpful. What is the quick way to know where the success events are firing upon?
