Elapsed Time Rules
Each time a user on the network accesses a Web site, this
activity is logged as one or more visit(s) to that site. The
amount of time a user spends on that site and the number of
times he/she accesses that site is tracked according to the
following rules:
A user will be logged as having visited a Web site one time
if the amount of time spent on any pages at that site is
equivalent to the value entered at the Elapse Time field, or
less than that value.
For example, if the value entered at the Elapse Time field is
10 seconds, and if the user is at a site between one to 10
seconds—on the same page or on any other page within
the same site—the user’s activity will be tracked as one
visit to that Web site.
Each time the user exceeds the value entered at the Elapse
Time field, the user will be tracked as having visited the site
an additional time.
For example, if the value entered at the Elapse Time field is
10 seconds and the user remains at a Web site for 12
seconds, two visits to that site will be logged for him/her.
Each session at a Web site is tracked as one or more
visit(s), depending on the duration of the session. A session
is defined as a user’s activity at a site that begins when the
user accesses the site and ends when the user exits the
site.
