About Session Tracking



To specify the general settings for the session to be tracked:
  1. In the Description text box, type the name for this session. This name will appear in the list of Session Tracking definitions and in the reports.

  2. In the Session Termination Timeframe text box, type the number of minutes a visitor can be inactive before the session is considered terminated. The default setting is 30 minutes.

  3. For Type Of Tracking, select the method to track the visitor session. You can select Use IP/User Agent Combination (tracks visitors by concatenating the IP address with the user agent string) or any combination of the following alternate methods.

    If you elect to track using one of the alternate methods listed above, IP/User Agent is always used as a fall-back method.  For example, if tracking by Cookie is selected and the visitor does not accept cookies from your site, then IP/User Agent will be used.
