Preceding Pages

This dimension is part of the pages path analysis and shows the direct preceding page of a page within the same visit.

Between both pages, no further pages can be viewed.

Using this dimension is most useful if you restrict your analysis to a specific page (i.e., the page that follows the shown "preceding page").  

Example

A user views the following pages in the given order within a visit:

Regarding Page C:

• the Preceding Page is Page B,

• the Second Preceding Page is Page A.
