    Metrics, dimensions, and filters provide a framework within which calculations are made about the dataprocessed into an Omniture dataset.

    The results of the calculations defined using this framework are shown in workspaces, dashboards, reports, orother output of Omniture applications. In short, any number that you see in or from an Omniture application isthe result of a query of a dataset that involves a metric, a dimension, and a filter.

    At the most basic level, a metric describes what is being calculated from and about the dataset, a dimensionbreaks down the data in the dataset into categories, and a filter describes a selected portion or subset of thedata in the dataset.

    When Visual Server processes data to create an Omniture dataset, dimensions of the data are created andthen updated on an ongoing basis as new data is read and processed by Visual Server. Metrics and filters arecalculated from these dimensions of data.

    Imagine an Omniture dataset that contains information about all of the people in the world. This datasetcontains, at a minimum, all of the people in the world and their ages. A useful metric to calculate from thisdataset would be Average Age. Evaluating this metric would result in one number: the average age of theworlds population.

    Adding a dimension to the dataset makes this information more useful and manageable. If the dataset alsocontains each persons country of residence, defining a Country dimension would provide a way to segmentthe people into groups for each country in the world. Evaluating the Average Age metric over the Countrydimension would result in a list of numbers, one for each country, each representing the average age of thepeople in that country.

    Numerical Answers

    The application of a filter (or selection filter) in a metric formula can give more detailed information or allowthe definition of a new metric based on existing metrics and dimensions. Evaluating the Average Age metricwith a filter of where country equals Sweden results in one number: the average age of people in Sweden. Ametric based on this filter could be Swedish Average Age. For example:

    Swedish_Average_Age=Average_Age[country = Sweden]

    In general, evaluating a metric over a dimension results in that metric being evaluated for each dimensionelement (or element). In the example above, the Country dimension has an element for each country of theworld. Evaluating Average Age over Country would yield the average age for each of the elements (countries),including the element Sweden.

    It is important to note that when you evaluate a metric over a dimension, you will receive the same numericalresult for a specific dimension element regardless of whether you evaluate that metric for the whole dimensionor you define a filter corresponding to that specific dimension element. Using the previous example, whenlooking for the average age of people in Sweden, either of the following methods would yield identical results:

    Evaluate the Average Age metric over the Country dimension and then look at the number for thedimension element Sweden.

    Evaluate the Average Age metric with a filter of people in Sweden (expressed asAverage_Age[Country='Sweden']).

    Filters are syntactical expressions that reference one or more dimensions and dimension elements. As you sawin the above example, using the expression [dimension=element] is an easy way to specify a filter.

    It is just as easy to apply such a filter to define a new metric using an expression such asNew_Metric=Metric[Filter]. Such a filter can be used to define a new metric based on a specificdimension element. To use the above example, Average_Age[Country='Sweden'] specifies a metric forthe average age of people in Sweden. If we were to give this metric a name, such as Swedish_Average_Age,we could use it in other calculations as a metric. For example, evaluating Swedish_Average_Age/

    Average_Age would result in a single number: the ratio of the average age of people in Sweden to that ofpeople in the rest of the world.

    If the dataset with information about all of the people in world also includes a dimension Eye Color, theexpression Swedish_Average_Age[Eye_Color='green'] would result in the average age of Swedeswith green eyes. You might also obtain this same result without using an intermediate metric definition byapplying a different filter: Average_Age[Country='Sweden' AND Eye_Color='green']. In thiscase, the AND operator specifies a filter expression using two other basic filter expressions.

    Omniture enables you to create new metrics, filters, and dimensions to expand the information availablethrough an Omniture application or easily customize the definitions in the application to meet your needs. Theopen-ended nature of metrics, dimensions, and filters in Omniture applications enables you to answer morequestions as you add new metrics and dimensions.

    Numerical Answers

    Newly defined metrics can be evaluated over existing dimensions, and, similarly, existing metrics can beevaluated over newly defined dimensions. Newly defined metrics also can be used as input in other metrics.Because metrics are built on the client side (that is, their construction does not require dataset processing),they have a minimal impact on system performance. You can increase your analysis capabilities byconstructing many levels of metrics.

    For more information about the syntax used to manipulate metrics, dimensions, and filters, see Appendix B of

    the Visual Workstation Guide.

    Several types of dimensions are available in Visual Server. As such, it is important to know the dimension typewhen using a dimension to create metrics, filters, or derived dimensions.

    Visual Server can create and maintain the following types of dimensions:

    Countable A dimension type in which the number of elements in the dimension canbe counted by the system. Countable dimensions must be derived fromother Countable dimensions. Countable dimensions can be parents ofother dimensions or children of other countable dimensions.

    Examples: Visitor, Session, Page View, Booking, and Order.

    Simple A dimension that has a one-to-many relationship with a parent countabledimension. A simple dimension can be thought of as representing aproperty of elements of its parent dimension.

    Example: Visitor Referrer is a simple dimension with a parent of the Visitordimension. Each Visitor can have only one Visitor Referrer (their first HTTPreferrer), but many Visitors might have the same Visitor Referrer.Therefore the Visitor Referrer is one-to-many with the Visitor dimension.

    Numeric A dimension that has ordered, numerical values and a one-to-manyrelationship with a parent countable dimension. A numeric dimension canbe thought of as representing a numeric property of elements of its parentdimension. Numeric dimensions are often used to define sum metrics.

    Example: The numeric dimension Session Revenue defines the revenue, indollars, for each Session. Each Session has a single amount of revenue,but any number of Sessions might have the same revenue, so SessionRevenue is one-to-many with Session. A metric Revenue might bedefined as sum(Session_Revenue, Session), giving the total amountof revenue for the selected Sessions.

    This chapter provides detailed information about the built-in metrics, dimensions, and filters provided inVisual Site.

    Almost all metrics in Visual Site are defined in the metrics directory of a profile. A few built-in metrics are

    provided to convey technical information about the status of data processing through its two phases called logprocessing and transformation which are defined by Visual Servers log processing and transformationconfiguration files, respectively.

    The following table lists the available built-in metrics.

    The log processing phase does not mean that all event data comes from log files. Although itsometimes does, event data can come from another source, such as ODBC data sources. For moreinformation about data sources, see the Dataset Configuration Guide.

    As Of The As Of time of the dataset in 100 nanoseconds intervals since January1, 1600 00:00 UTC. The As Of timestamp is the latest time in the datasetfor which all data has definitely been processed.

    Log Bytes Read The total amount of compressed data (in bytes) that has so far beenprocessed during the log processing phase.

    Built-in Metrics, Dimensions, and Filters

    In addition to the log processing and transformation filters that can be applied before or during the creation ofa dataset, other profile filters are available that impact the scope of the data available for selection from adataset. This section describes only the latter type of special filters.

    The following profile filters are available to the user after a dataset has been created: Data Subsetting Filter

    Broken Session Filter

    A data subset acts as a data filter by allowing you to select only the dimension elements of data that are ofinterest to you.

    Creating data subsets decreases the amount of time required to calculate exact answers to your queries. If thedata subset that you specify is small enough, Visual Workstation can retrieve all needed data fromVisual Server and answer questions about the subset quickly and accurately. This is especially useful if youknow that, for example, analyzing a day of data or sessions from a particular referrer will require several hours.

    User can create data subsets themselves, or they can access data subsets defined in an inherited or workingprofile. When a user creates a subset of the dataset (by selecting the desired data in Visual Workstation andthen right-clicking in the workspace and clicking ), a Data Subset.filter file is created in theFilters folder within the User profile directory. This filter defines the data subset that the user has selected andsaves the subset for future use.

    The Broken Session Filter is a metric formula that can be easily modified to meet any filtering requirements. Inthe default Visual Site profiles, the Broken Session Filter is configured to include all visitors that have aVisitorized Flag that is set to 1. The value 1 indicates the presence of a tracking cookie for that visitor.

    Following is the text of the default Broken Session Filter.filter file provided by Omniture in the release packagefor the Visual Site profiles.

    entity = derived_filter:formula = string: Visitorized_Flag="1"

    model = ref: wdata/model

    By default, workspaces have the Broken Session filter applied to both their selection and their benchmarks,and it can be toggled by right-clicking in the workspace and clicking .

    The Broken Session Filter can be referenced in filter expressions as Broken_Session_Filter, even if it isnot enabled for the current workspace. For more information about filter expressions, see Appendix B of theVisual Workstation Guide.

    Additional filters can be created and applied through their presence in a profiles Filters directory.

    Users can create multiple data subsets and can toggle them to view different portions of the data.Remember to turn off Data Subsetting when you want to view all data; otherwise, your metric valueswill not be representative of all data in the dataset.

    To help users of Omniture applications benefit from their capabilities immediately, Omniture has created a setof standard profiles for each Omniture application. One or more of the profiles can be installed at any giventime. These profiles include the definitions of standard metrics, dimensions, filters, reports, workspaces, anddashboards. Omniture continuously updates these profiles and makes them available to its licensees throughits Software Support program. Additionally, users of Omniture applications can define additional profiles and

    use them with or instead of the profiles provided by Omniture.Omnitures profile management system allows the overriding of a profiles configurations by higher levelprofiles. This feature should be used by users or administrators who want to override any of the definitionsincorporated in these profiles after they are installed. Installing new releases of these profiles will overwrite anyprior versions. As a result, any changes made to these profiles directly would be overwritten when the newprofiles are installed.

    Profiles for vertical markets or specific types of companies or industries also may be available from OmnitureSoftware Support.

    Following are descriptions of Omnitures baseline profiles:

    includes configuration files that ship with Visual Server. The Base profile should not bemodified by the user or Administrator. Any alterations made in the Base profile are subject to being

    overwritten when Omniture releases a next version of Visual Server or other software application.

    includes a set of fundamental metrics, dimensions, and filters for web analytics. It alsoincludes template workspaces, reports, and dashboards that facilitate the analysis of, reporting on, andgeneral understanding of overall Internet site activity trends and patterns. This profile functions out-of thebox with a baseline installation of Visual Site.

    includes a set of metrics and dimensions and template workspaces, reports, anddashboards associated with the built-in Visual Site business value and conversion model. This profileallows users to identify value events on the site and associate a monetary value to those events.

    Visual Site expands your site analysis capabilities by providing a Business Value Modelan advanced methodfor measuring and tracking the amount of value generated by your site. Value events and their relative value

    are defined through a simple drag and drop interface within Visual Site. Visual Site uses these definitions tocalculate the business value generated by each session, and this information is used in turn to define metricssuch as value, value events, conversion, and so on. These metrics enables you to answer questions such as:

    What is the most profitable path through the site?

    What referrer or campaign has generated the most value?

    What is the average number of purchases on the site per day? (How many value events occur per day onaverage?)
