Summary

It is often unclear, at least for me, how specific measure has been computed. Say "Avg Time on Page" vs "Avg Time on Custom Action Dimension" vs "Avg Time on Custom Visit Dimension" (if the latter exist, haven't tried yet).

It would help a lot if each column on each data table had a info tooltip explaining how is it computed, possibly even with math equations in details section.

Analytics do not make sense if we do not know how to interpret the results.

Your Environment

  • Matomo Version: 4.1.1
  • PHP Version:
  • Server Operating System:
  • Additionally installed plugins: CustomDimensions

A cloud customer has requested we improve the 'tooltips' in the UI to help explain the different metrics. Many reports do not have any tooltips, this would help reduce a lot of confusion for users.

"The tool tips in custom reports are only helpful for a few things. In general they could be more descriptive."
