Custom Metrics and Segments are defined using the Fiddler Query Language (FQL), a flexible set of constants, operators, and functions which can accommodate a large variety of metrics.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
Column names can be referenced by name either with double quotes ("my_column") or with no quotes (my_column).
Single quotes (') are used to represent string values.
FQL distinguishes between three data types:
| Data type | Supported values | Examples | Supported Model Schema Data Types |
|---|---|---|---|
Row-level functions can be applied either to a single value or to a column/row expression (in which case they are mapped element-wise to each value in the column/row expression).
Every Custom Metric must be wrapped in an aggregate function or be a combination of aggregate functions.
