- Parameter-ID: This ID is used in Tag Integration or the standard pixel to assign values to this parameter.
- Datatype: When selecting "Text" or "General", this parameter is available as dimension. "General" allows for saving an unlimited amount of values, whereas the amount of values for "Text" is limited and depends on your contract. However, please note that a parameter of the datatype "Generic" cannot be used in a pivot table.
For "Figure", the information is only available as metric. - Aggregation: If "Figure" is chosen as datatype, the figure type can be selected.
- "Quantity": Shows, how often a parameter was tracked.
- "Quantity and Sum": In addition to the quantity a metric is generated, that adds up the tracked values.
Example: A parameter is submitted twice, once with the value 5 and once with the value 3. "Quantity" amounts to 2, "Sum" amounts to 8.
