Pathing Reports
There are two kinds of pathing reports, "Pathing" and "Fallout".
Pathing Report (using "pattern")
A pathing report is generated by combining up to five patterns in a list to specify a match. For example:
Copied to your clipboard"pattern": [["videoPage5"],["::anything::"],["::anything::"],["::anything::"],["::anything::"]]
Using the names of pages on you site along with the special page names in the following table, you can generate a number of useful pathing reports.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
::anything:: | Any page, including entered and existed |
::not_entered:: | Anything except entered the site |
::not_exited:: | Anything expect exited the site |
::entered:: | Entered the site |
::exited:: | Exited the site |
::not:: | Used before a value to negate it. For example, "::not::","page1" |
Fallout Report (using "checkpoints")
Fallout reports can be generated for the Visits metric using page, sitesection, or a prop (if pathing is enabled). To generate a fallout report, provide a list of up to 8 values to use as checkpoints. The number of pageviews returned for each checkpoint indicates the number of pageviews that successfully satisfied all checkpoints up to and including that point.
