Standard component reference
Most dimensions and metrics in Customer Journey Analytics are based on schema elements from your Adobe Experience Platform dataset. However, several components are available to add to a data view regardless of the connection that you use.
Standard components are components that are not generated from dataset schema fields but are instead system generated. Some system components are required to facilitate reporting capabilities in Analysis Workspace, while other system components are optional.
Required standard components
These required standard components are added to each data view by default. They are essential to the reporting capabilities that Customer Journey Analytics offers.
Standard dimensions
| Component Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| 15 Minute | Each 15 minutes that a given event happened (rounded down). The first dimension item is the first 15 minutes in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last 15 minutes in the date range. |
| 30 Minute | Each 30 minutes that a given event happened (rounded down). The first dimension item is the first 30 minutes in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last 30 minutes in the date range. |
| 5 Minute | Each 5 minutes that a given event happened (rounded down). The first dimension item is the first 15 minutes in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last 5 minutes in the date range. |
| Day | The day that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first day in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last day in the date range. |
| Day of Week | The day of the week that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first day of the week in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last day of the week in the date range. |
| Day of Month | The day of the month that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first day of the month in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last day of the month in the date range. |
| Event Depth | Assigns sequential numerical values (1, 2, 3, etc.) to each event interaction within a session. With this dimension you can enable detailed tracking and analysis of where specific events occur in the sequential flow of user interactions within the bounded experience session you have defined for your data view. You can track the progression of events from start to finish within a bounded session. As an example: A visitor lands on your homepage (event 1, session start), uses the search function (event 2), views a product details page (event 3), adds to cart (event 4), proceeds to checkout (event 5), and completes a purchase (event 6, session end). You can use Event depth now in a segment definition to segment data based on interaction depth. |
| Hour | The hour that a given event happened (rounded down). The first dimension item is the first hour in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last hour in the date range. |
| Hour of Day | The hour of the day that a given event happened (rounded down). The first dimension item is the first hour of the day in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last hour of the day in the date range. |
| Minute | The minute that a given event happened (rounded down). The first dimension item is the first minute in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last minute in the date range. |
| Minute of Hour | The minute of the hour that a given event happened (rounded down). The first dimension item is the first minute of the hour in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last minute of the hour in the date range. |
| Month | The month that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first month in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last month in the date range. |
| Month of Year | The month of the year that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first month of the year in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last month of the year in the date range. |
| Quarter | The quarter that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first quarter in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last quarter in the date range. |
| Quarter of Year | The quarter of the year that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first quarterof the year in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last quarter of the year in the date range. |
| Second | The second that a given event happened (rounded down). The first dimension item is the first second in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last second in the date range. |
| Week | The week that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first week in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last week in the date range. |
| Week of year | The week of year that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first week of year in the date range, and the last dimension item is the last week of year in the date range. |
| Year | The year that a given event happened. The first dimension item is the first year in the date range, and the last dimension item is the most recent year in the date range. |
Standard metrics
| Component Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| B2B Edition Accounts | Based on the Account ID specified in a Connection. |
| B2B Edition Buying Group | The buying groups, based on the Buying group ID specified in the Connection. |
| Events | The number of rows from all event datasets in a Connection. |
| B2B Edition Global Accounts | Based on the Global Accounts ID specified in the Connection. |
| B2B Edition Opportunities | The opportunities, based on the Opportunity ID specified in the Connection. |
| People | Based on the person ID specified in a Connection. |
| Session Ends |
The number of events that were the last event of a session. Similar to Session Starts, it can also be used in a segment definition to segment things down to the last event of every session. This component must be included in your data view for the following calculated metric to be available in Workspace:
|
| Session Starts |
The number of events that were the first event of a session. When used in a segment definition (for example, ‘Session Starts exists’), it segments down to just the first event of every session. This component must be included in your data view for the following calculated metric to be available in Workspace:
|
| Sessions | Based on the data view’s session settings. |
| Time Spent (seconds) |
Sums the time between two different values for a dimension. This component must be included in your data view for the following calculated metrics to be available in Workspace:
