next Gen Make metrics names internally consistent

In Next Gen UI: Topline Metrics:

When I go to select metrics I can add:

Unique Buyers / Visitors

Unique Visitors

Unique Users

Online: Unique Buyers

But when I add them to my report I see these metrics with different names:

Buyers/Visitors

Visitors

Users

Online: Buyers

Are these different metrics than the ones that I selected?

I wanted to see "Online: Unique Buyers" but instead I just got "Online: Buyers".

Client would prefer that metric names were internally consistent in order to prevent confusion.

    Hi William, when changing dates on a report, it can sometimes make it so that the metrics are summed rather than deduplicated. In this case, we remove or add "unique" within the report to reflect that calculation.

    Metrics are deduplicated for all date ranges in ad hoc reports. For standard reports, deduplication logic follows these rules:

    • Daily: deduplicated by day

    • Weekly: deduplicated by week

    • Monthly: deduplicated by month

    • Quarterly: deduplicated by quarter for Top line reports only; summed by day (not deduplicated) for all other reports

    • Yearly: summed by day (not deduplicated)

    • Custom date ranges are not deduplicated

    Metrics are unique when the following trend by options are selected for date ranges in reports:

    • Day range, trend by day

    • Week range, trend by week

    • Month range, trend by month

    • Quarter range, trend by quarter for Top line reports only; not unique for all other reports
