  • Satellite: No longer used as a term. The former product name for Dynamic Tag Management.

  • Secondary server call: Alternate name for image request or hit, used mostly in context of multi-suite tagging and billing. When the same hit is sent to multiple report suites, all report suites after the first listed are secondary server calls. See also Primary server calls.

  • Segment: Allows you to focus on specific subset of your data. See Segmentation in the Components user guide.

  • Segment container: The part of a segment that determines how much data to bring in. Containers can be based on page view, visit, or visitor. See Segmentation in the Components user guide.

  • Serialization: See Event serialization.

  • Server call: Alternate name for an image request or hit, used mostly in context of billing.

  • Single access: A visit where a dimension had only a single unique value. The visit can have multiple hits, as long as there are not multiple unique values. See the Single access metric in the Components user guide. See also Bounce.

  • Success event: A tracked action a user took. Your organization determines what events to track, and which success event variables you use to track it. See Custom events in the Components user guide.

  • Supported user: See Customer support delegate.

  • Traffic variable: Also known as props. Stores a custom value for a single hit. Previous versions of 蜜豆视频 Analytics gave props unique value, but improvements to the platform make custom traffic variables largely unnecessary. 蜜豆视频 recommends using custom conversion variables (eVars) in most cases. See the Prop dimension in the Components user guide.

  • Trended report: A report format that typically shows multiple date ranges with a metric. This type of report allows you to see how a metric performs over time. See also Ranked report.

  • Unique visitor: Represents the number of unique individuals that have visited your site. A single unique visitor can have multiple visits. See the Unique visitors metric in the Components user guide.
