    • Active Users, daily (DAU)

    A user opened the following pages on June 26:

    Starts as soon as the first Page Impression/Click on a website is detected. Unique counting/once per time interval (e.g. Day/Week/Month). Recognition by cookies and – if provided – CustomerID.


    2 users visited the following pages on June 26/27:

    Analysis: Visitors > Time > Month

    Analysis: Visitors > Time > Days

    Visit Duration Avg

    The average duration of a visit. 30 seconds are used as a default value for the exit page. If a link is clicked on the exit page, the time until the click of the link is also considered.

    Event requests generated by Mapp Intelligence Plugins (e.g. the content engagement Plugin) are also taken into account.

    2 users performed the following visits on February 13 and 14:

    Analysis: Visitors > Traffic

    As soon as a different CustomerID is sent during a visit, a new visitor and visit are measured.

    Extensive information on cross-device visitor recognition can be found in the training chapter User Centric Tracking.

    By using engagement metrics it is possible to analyze the long-term usage behavior by day.

    Analysis: Visitors > Engagement

    Active Users weekly (WAU)

    The amount of unique visitors within the last 7 days.

    Active Users daily (DAU)

    The amount of unique visitors on the respective day. It equates the “Visitors”.
