Visitor Profile Sampler

[#1]

The Visitor Profile Sampler provides a real-time overview of visitor profile data within AudienceStream. The active visitors in your account are sampled to display a summary of the devices, badges, and audiences that reflect their behavior. You can review this data to ensure that your AudienceStream configuration is working as expected.

How It Works

The Visitor Profile Sampler allows you to see an overview of the device, badge, and audience activity from your visitors. You can then select a specific badge or audience to view the raw visitor profile data from a sampling of the visitors that match that item.

Here's how it works:

• As you enter the screen, the system begins sampling the active visitors in AudienceStream.
• As visitor profiles are sampled, the Summary screen populates the following categories of data about those visitors:
  • Visitor Stitching Distribution
    Displays the total number of visitor profiles sampled and how many of your visitors have been stitched using a known Visitor ID attribute.
    
  • Active Platforms, Active Browsers, Active Visits, Average Visit Duration, and Events per Visit
    Displays the percentage of visitors using detected platforms and browsers, active visits, the average duration of a visit, and the number of events per visit.
    
  • Badges
    A ranked list of the number and percentage of visitors that have obtained each badge.
    
  • Audiences
    A ranked list of the number and percentage of visitors that are in an audience.
    
  • In the Badges/Audiences area, click any item to view a sample data set of those visitor profiles in a summary view or a raw JSON view.
  • 

Using the Visitor Profile Sampler 

To use the sampler, use the sidebar to navigate to Server-Side Tools > Visitor Profile Sampler. Once the screen loads, the number of sampled visitor profiles will gradually increase over time. The summary numbers update automatically to reflect the sampled data.
