Metrics

The complete list of metrics for this subject area is as follows:

• Event Metrics
  • Number (#) of Events
  • Number (#) of Invitees
    (Definition: Number of active invitees not having a deleted status.)
  • Budget Surplus/Shortfall

    (Definition: The difference between the event budget and the event cost.)

  • Event Budget

    The Event Budget metric comes from the dimension. When only the Event dimension is used the metric is the sum of the dimension field value. However, when other dimensions (particularly invitee) are used, the metric is calculated as the budget amount divided by number of invitees.

  • Event Cost

    (Definition: The per attendee cost of an event, which is the total cost of the activities for all active attendees associated with a completed event, divided by the number of attendees.)

Optimized Filtering Fields

This subject area has fields that are optimized for reducing the query time when they are used in filters. Optimized fields end with the words Code or UTC. For example, the Account dimension has an Account Type field. There is also an Account Type Code field, which is the optimized version of the Account Type field. Similarly, there is an Indexed Date UTC field, which is the optimized version of the Indexed Date field. Using the optimized field in the filter generates faster queries. This method is faster than using the standard field. For information on using optimized filtering fields, see Using Optimized Filtering Fields. The following dimensions in this subject area have optimized filtering fields:

• Date
• Event
