Article Summary

Webtrends generates and maintains these parameters using the Webtrends analysis process when you enable Visitor History. For more information, see “Visitor History Parameters.”

WT.vr.vc

WT.vr.vc=VisitCount
Identifies the total number of visits recorded for a visitor. This is an integer representing the number of visits since the visitor’s first visit. When using this as a measure for the Visitor dimension, use the maximum value. When using this as a measure for dimensions other than Visitor, you usually configure the average value.

The sum of this measure has no meaning.

WT.vr.vcb

WT.vr.vcb=High/Moderate/Some/Low descriptor
Classifies the value of the WT.vr.vc parameter into one of four categories.

This parameter is non-numeric and used as a dimension. You can change the number of categories by editing the vrbucket.ini file. By default, the file is configured as follows:

[VCBValues]
High = 25
Moderate = 15
Some = 5

The following table shows the meaning of the default values:

[VCBValues]Meaning
High=2525 < x
Moderate=1515 > x < 25
Some=55> x < 15

By default, the minimum value for Some is 5. Any visitor whose visit count value is less than 5 is assigned to the Low value category.

Example 1: Adjust all of the ranges in vrbucket.ini to:

[VCBValues]
High = 50
Moderate = 30
Some = 10

Example 2: To create two buckets (for example, High/Low), change vrbucket.ini to:

[VCBValues]
High = 25
Moderate = 25
Some = 25

The result of example 2 is:
High is >25
Low is >0 <25
