The following tables list the metrics and dimensions that can be automatically measured by the mobile library after lifecycle is implemented.
This topic contains the following information:
After lifecycle metrics are configured, the metrics are sent in context data parameters to Analytics, parameters to Target with each mbox call, and as a signal to Audience Manager. Analytics and Target use the same format, while Audience Manager uses a different prefix for each metric.
For Analytics, the context data that is sent with each lifecycle tracking call is automatically captured in and reported by using the metric or dimension that listed in the first column.
Metrics
|
Metric |
Analytics Context Data/Target Parameter |
Audience Manager Signal |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
First Launches |
a.InstallEvent |
c_a_InstallEvent |
Triggered at the first run after installation or re-installation. |
|
Upgrades |
a.UpgradeEvent |
c_a_UpgradeEvent |
Triggered at the first run after upgrade or anytime the version number changes. |
|
Daily Engaged Users |
a.DailyEngUserEvent |
c_a_DailyEngUserEvent |
Triggered when the application is used on a particular day. Important: This metric is not automatically stored
in an Analytics metric. You must create a processing rule that sets a custom
event to capture this metric.
|
|
Monthly Engaged Users |
a.MonthlyEngUserEvent |
c_a_MonthlyEngUserEvent |
Triggered when the application is used during a particular month. Important: This metric is not automatically stored
in an Analytics metric. You must create a processing rule that sets a custom
event to capture this metric.
|
|
Launches |
a.LaunchEvent |
c_a_LaunchEvent |
Triggered on every run, including crashes and installs. Also triggered when the app is resumed from the background after the lifecycle session timeout is exceeded. |
|
Crashes |
a.CrashEvent |
c_a_CrashEvent |
Triggered when the application is not backgrounded before closing. The event is sent when the application is started again after the crash. Adobe Mobile crash reporting does not implement a global uncaught exception handler. |
|
Previous Session Length |
a.PrevSessionLength |
c_a_PrevSessionLength |
Reports the number of seconds that a previous application session lasted based on how long the application was open and in the foreground. |

|
Days since last upgrade |
a.DaysSinceLastUpgrade |
c_a_DaysSinceLastUpgrade |
Number of days since the application version number has changed. Important: This metric is not automatically stored
in an Analytics variable. You must create a processing rule to copy this value
to an Analytics variable for reporting.
|
|
Launches since last upgrade |
a.LaunchesSinceUpgrade |
c_a_LaunchesSinceUpgrade |
Number of launches since the application version number has changed. Important: This metric is not automatically stored
