Issue/Symptoms

How are filters/segments handled with time spent metrics?

Resolution resolution

When the report is run:

  • the data is gathered for the selected date range
  • the time spent values are calculated
  • the segment filters the results

Example impact:

Since time spent values are allocated before the filter/segment is run, there is a possibility of time spent for pages (a dimension) that don’t have visits.
