Dimensions
A Dimension is a list of values associated with an event. When an event is triggered, the detected value is reported into a Dimension.
- Dimensions are populated by events, hit attributes, or session attribute data that has been captured or manually specified.
- Dimensions can be populated from a whitelist or from observed values.
- Dimension data is stored as text. Data values are not case-sensitive.
- Dimensions can be filtered to capture a user-specified amount of values. The maximum is 10,000.
- Dimensions can have defined set of values. This is called a value list.
- Dimensions are used in reports.
- Dimensions can be organized into Dimension Groups.
Deleting dimensions
When you delete a dimension, it affects items that are associated with the dimension. When you delete a dimension the dimension groups that contain that dimension are deleted.
Delete dimension example
For example, there is a dimension that needs to be deleted. The dimension is in a dimension group that is associated with 2 events.
Deleting the dimension deletes the dimension group, removes the dimension group from the events.
Delete dimension example
For example, there is a dimension that needs to be deleted. The dimension is in a dimension group that is associated with 2 events and there is a Funnel report that uses these events as metrics steps and the dimension as a segment.
Deleting the dimension deletes the dimension group, removes the dimension group from the events, and removes the segment from the funnel report.
