08/12/2023, 1:06 AMI've just launched my first experiment. Basically trying to test different sizes for our CTA button. The page is on /, but when you click on the button it goes to /newpage. We are using google analytics... I see I can choose page_view as a metric goal, but I don't quite understand how "page_view" works (page view appears to be a binomial)... Is it easy to create a metric where it is count of pageview=newpage? Or do I need to create a new metric in the app and send an event to GA?

Should be pretty easy to do that

the page view event in GA should have the actual page
fresh-football-47124
08/12/2023, 1:07 AM
so you can make a new metric for that particular page

08/12/2023, 1:11 AMOkay, I'll try to see how to do that
silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:11 AMi'll try with this query builder

let me know if you need help with the query

user_id,
user_pseudo_id as anonymous_id,
TIMESTAMP_MICROS(event_timestamp) as timestamp

08/12/2023, 1:14 AMIs this hypothetically correct?

mostly - BigQuery does this weird storing JSON values thing, so if you’re referencing event_params.key, you have to expand the JSON

Copy code
UNNEST(event_params) AS page_view_paramsfresh-football-47124
08/12/2023, 1:17 AM
then you can do where
page_view_params.key = "whatever"fresh-football-47124
08/12/2023, 1:17 AM
(the UNNEST will go in the from section)

and event_params.key/value will need to change too the aliased name

cool

silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:21 AMhmm no results though 😕
silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:22 AMmaybe i have something off here... will debug further

you can run it, without the date placeholders, in your bigQuery console to figure out whats up

08/12/2023, 1:23 AMyeah i'm changing the page_view = to a LIKE
silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:25 AMokay this is great... gonna create a bunch for different pages...
silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:27 AMis there a way to generate a collection of metrics?
silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:27 AMSo I can add a collection rather than metrics one by one?
f
fresh-football-47124
08/12/2023, 1:28 AM
There are some ways to do this with variables
fresh-football-47124
08/12/2023, 1:28 AM
but the set is quite limited atm - what did you have in mind?
s
silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:30 AMFor example, I may have a collection of metrics for our multiplayer modes, single player, etc...
silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:30 AMMaybe performance metrics
silly-fall-70535
08/12/2023, 1:30 AMSo it would be nice to be able to group metrics this way so when reviewing experiments it is a bit easier to filter

You might want to use dimensions or segments for doing that level of definitions
