Visit Resource

Describes the Visit Resource.

Description

The visit resource contains the information related to a customer's visit, which is the browser session opened by the customer 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 customer remains Anonymous till he or she authenticates on the website. When the authentication occurs, the visit is associated with an identity resource, in addition to the new session resource created. Note that several identities will be associated with the same visitId if several customers authenticate on the website. See Identity Resource.
