How does the Visit Number dimension work in Adobe Analytics? Does it take into account the reporting time frame or the lifetime of the visitor?

Hi @isinha ,

The ‘Visit number’ dimension reports which visit the visitor is currently on. When a new visit starts, this dimension item increases by 1.

For example, if the visitor has never been to your site before, their first visit belongs to the dimension item "Visit number 1". If this is the visitor’s 12th visit to your site, they belong to the dimension item "Visit number 12".

@isinha Visit Number accounted to the lifetime of the visitor, not by the reporting time frame.

Yes, as @krishna_musku said, Visit Number is a lifetime metric... so if you have a two year data retention in Adobe, you won't even see "Visit Number 1" for users that started coming to the site more than 2 years ago (and are still identified as the same user)

My data on one account shows Visit Number 3, but New Visitor.

And on another account shows timeSinceLastVisit = newvisitor, Repeat Visitor, Visit number=3

What's going on?
