Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
In the KPI table, we break down the content by Articles, Pages, Other and All Content.
- Articles refer to the responsive articles, shown in Reading View.
- Pages refer to the physical pages digitized from your PDFs, shown in Page View.
- Other refers to all content that is not an article or page. For example, banner ads, TOC, Library page, etc.
- All Content will give you the total number for each column. Articles + Pages + Other will equal All Content for all columns, except for Unique Readers and Total Sessions.
The table below defines each metric within the KPI table on the Overview tab.
