Reporting Concepts

Next, to the following common reporting concepts in traditional analytics are listed the Discover equivalent functions.

Analytics

Discover

Slice

In Discover, you can create data slices by configuring multi-dimensional reports for specific fact values.

Dice

The Discover Report Builder does not currently support data dicing.

Drill Down

Discover enables drill-down on reporting data to the underlying sessions from which the report values were extracted.

Note: Because of query complexity, Discover provides limited support for drill-down when a whitelist or blacklist of values is configured for use with the report. You can drill into whitelists or blacklists limited to 30 values across all Segment dimensions of the report. Drill-down on other configurations, including Top N dimensions, is not supported.

Roll Up

Discover data is aggregated at the hourly and daily level by the Data Collector, which polls the Canister data at scheduled intervals.

Pivot

In the Discover Report Builder, you can pivot report data across multiple report groups that share common dimensions.
