Distance events
A distance event evaluates the distance of the occurrence of two conditional events in order between a specified range of time (in seconds) or hits within the session. Suppose you have a well-defined checkout process consisting of four pages. You could create a distance event to determine if people who are completing the first and last steps of the registration process are doing so in no more than four pages. Similarly, you could create another distance event to measure when the registration process exceeds a pre-determined time, reporting values that exceed that threshold time.
- Hit-based distance events are measured based on the hit numbers in the session.
- Time-based distance events are measured based on the
ResponseTimeExtimestamp, which is written as a request variable by the Unica Discover Network Capture Application. See "Performance Measurement" in the Unica Discover Network Capture Application Manual.
