What is a Catalog Session?
A catalog session represents each instance in which a catalog is viewed. Whenever a viewer opens a catalog link, they are prompted to provide their name, email address, and phone number. This information is a prerequisite to gain access to view the content present within the catalog. The purpose of collecting this information is to assist ETB Developer users in tracking and analyzing catalog engagement.

Session Start Date/Time: The precise moment when a user initiates their catalog viewing experience is logged as the session start date and time. This information provides insights into user engagement patterns, such as peak viewing times and days.
-
Session Duration: The total duration of a catalog session is recorded. This metric informs you about the average time users spend exploring your catalog. Longer session durations might indicate higher interest and engagement with your offerings.
