Activity metrics in My Dashboards

At a glance: Use Activity metrics in My Dashboards to quickly assess app performance, spot engagement trends, analyze revenue, and detect issues early, across any date range, with improved accuracy and flexibility.

About Activity metrics

The Activity metrics in My Dashboards allow users to analyze Activity, LTV, and Cohort data in one place. This allows you to monitor business performance and gain deeper insights by:

  • Analyze user Activity and stickiness with real-time relevance.
  • Measure event performance, revenue, and session trends.
    Get unified visibility across LTV, Actual, and Cohort periods in a single dashboard.
  • Customize reports using daily or monthly (Active users) breakdown.

Note: In My Dashboards, the term Activity has been renamed to Actual. This change clarifies that these metrics reflect real user actions during the selected date range and aren’t tied to LTV aggregation. Actual is also the default period for Sessions, Gross-Profit and Total Revenue.

Available Activity metrics

  • All metrics besides Active users, Active users last 31 days, and DAU/MAU also support cohort periods and LTV.
Metric Description
Active Users
  • Number of unique Active users who opened the app at least once during the selected period, based on sessions, as per the selected time breakdown setting.
  • If daily is selected, it's shown as DAU.
  • If monthly is selected, it’s shown as MAU.
  • When viewed in line charts, column charts, or a table grouped by date, it is shown as DAU. 
  • For information about querying raw data reports for DAU and MAU, see: Calculate daily and monthly active users (DAU and MAU).
Active Users Last 31 Days Number of unique users (counted only once) who opened the app at least once during the previous 31 days (Not based on calendar month).
DAU/MAU

The rate of returning users (stickiness). 

For example, a DAU/MAU rate of 50% means that the average user opened the app on 15 out of the previous 31 days.

The DAU/MAU rate is a measure of user stickiness and provides a snapshot of user retention. 

Formula: Daily Active users / Active users in the last 31 days

Sessions Sessions during the selected date range.
Total Revenue Revenue generated for the selected period. Revenue consists of in-app purchases and ad revenue.
