Sessions

/dashboard/<siteId>/sessions — one row per visit in the current slice, and a drawer that replays any of them hit by hit.

The table

50 rows a page. Columns:

Column	Notes
Started / Ended	In UTC on the wire, rendered locally
Visitor	The 32-character daily hash. A prefix is searchable
Identified	An email or user id from tracing.identify(), when the visitor left one
Entry / Exit	First and last path of the visit
Referrer, UTM source, Campaign	Copied off the first hit
Country, Region, City, Language	See Geo
Browser, OS, Device, Screen	Parsed from the user agent
Pageviews	Pageview hits
Events	Non-pageview hits: custom, outbound and revenue
Bounce	One or fewer pageviews
Duration	Session total, including flushed time on page
Revenue	The amounts the visit’s revenue events reported in the site currency. Only shown once the site has sent one

Two flags are computed rather than stored:

• Active — the visit’s last hit landed within the last 5 minutes.
• Returning — the same visitor id already started a visit earlier the same UTC day.

Returning means today, not ever

The visitor id rotates at midnight UTC, so there is nothing older to find. A visitor list can only ever show today’s other visits by the same person. For genuine return behaviour use identified Retention.

Sorting

Click a column header. The active column flips direction; a different column starts at descending.

sort	Sorts by
started (default)	Visit start
duration	Session duration
pageviews	Pageview count
events	Non-pageview count
revenue	The visit’s revenue in the site currency

dir is desc unless it is exactly asc. Ties break on start time and then id, so paging is stable.

Quick chips

Four independent toggles, combined with AND. Each is on when its parameter is exactly 1.

Chip	Parameter	Keeps visits where
Converted	converted=1	at least one non-pageview event fired
Bounced	bounced=1	the visit has one or fewer pageviews
Paid	paid=1	at least one revenue event fired in the visit
Returning	returning=1	the visitor was already seen earlier that day

All clears all four. Toggling any chip resets page and closes the drawer.

Search

The box matches three things at once:

• a visitor id prefix (a1b2c3…),
• an entry path fragment, case-insensitive,
• any trait value set through tracing.identify(), case-insensitive.

So typing an email address finds that person’s visits for the day — provided you call identify() on their authenticated page loads.

The drawer

Clicking a row on a wide screen opens a drawer over the list and puts session=<id> in the URL. Below 1024 px it navigates to the full page instead.

The drawer shows:

• The visit’s own summary: source, campaign, location, device, duration.
• A timeline of every hit in order — pageviews with their time on page, custom events with their properties, outbound clicks with the destination, revenue events with the amount. Up to 500 hits.
• The visitor’s traits.
• Previous and Next buttons that walk the result set in the list’s own sort order, without sending you back to the table.

A pause longer than two minutes between hits is annotated in the timeline, so a visit that went quiet and came back reads as one.

Closing the drawer removes session from the URL.

The visitor

The full session page adds Other visits by this visitor — up to six, all from the same UTC day — and a link that filters the list to that visit’s referrer. The referrer link uses the literal Direct / none when there was none.

Export

The download icon exports this slice — including the chips and the search box, which the Overview export knows nothing about — as one row per visit, up to 5000 rows, 23 columns. The export button adds mode=sessions for you. See CSV export.
