Custom Metrics allow you to combine multiple metrics from different data sources, apply calculations, and display the results in your dashboards or custom reports. This feature is perfect for creating KPIs that are unique to your business—such as conversion rates, cost per acquisition, or ROI—without needing to export data to a spreadsheet.
You can build formulas using metrics from multiple data sources, apply operators, and choose how the final value is displayed. Once created, these metrics can be added as widgets to any dashboard or report.
Please Note: Custom Metrics are available for plans $497 and above
