Visit Resource

Description

The visit resource contains the information related to a visitor's visit, which is the browser session opened by the visitor to visit the website. The visit starts with the VisitStarted event (submitted by the website) and then, all the browsing activity is recorded in page, session, and event resources associated with the visit. The visitor remains Anonymous until he or she authenticates on the website. When authentication occurs, the visit is associated with an identity resource, in addition to the new session resource created.

Important

Several identities are associated with the same visitId if several visitors authenticate on the website. See Identity Resource.
