Custom Metrics in Piwik Pro

Request a feature & Roadmap
1

Hi,
I am looking the equivalent of custom metrics in GA. The custom variables in PiwikPro seem more akin to custom dimensions in GA. But I would need an additional field (which would only be integers) that could be summed/averaged/other simple math function on a list of numbers.

Is there a function to declare them like for custom dimensions?
For example: “setCustomMetricValue”, metricID, “metricValue”
(I am using GTM to send the data)

Thanks

Moving to feature requests category. That’s indeed not yet possible and is really likely to be added to the product in the future.

+1 to this feature request.

Alternatively making it possible to create a custom metric out of a custom dimension (and discarding all non-numeric values) would be highly useful.

To give some insight into our use case. How many days ahead did someone book an appointment? It would be nice to see an average or median of that but the only calculated metric I can make from the custom dimension is unique count.

Hi All,

We are still waiting for time to work on this feature,
Currently the teams that would handle it are working on different features that had taken higher priority, like real time reporting.

There’s no custom metric as stated in last paragraph, but here you might use custom event which have the custom event value metric. So whenever appointment is booked you could send an event like this:
Custom Event Category: Appointments
Custom Event Action: Booked
Custom Event Name: {{ What appointment }}
Custom Event Value: {{ Days ahead }}

Then in reporting you’ll be able to use this Custom Event Value as a Average or Median:
