Primo Sessions
Because Analytics data is aggregated daily based on the UTC time zone, yesterday's data for your library may contain only a partial reporting and may require an additional day to see its full reporting.
Using the Primo Sessions subject area, you can create reports that help to answer the following types of business questions:
-
How many sessions are opened in a given time period?
-
How many users were signed in for all sessions?
-
On average how many actions are taken within a session?
-
In which countries are users located when they open a session?
The Primo Sessions subject area contains many fields used to create reports associated with Primo sessions. Refer to the following sections for more information on each field.
