Goals

The Goals view shows conversions. Goals are set up during the Content Recommendations implementation.

A goal is a set of behaviors that you want someone to perform, such as filling out a form, requests for demos, downloading a resource, or viewing three pages on the Financial site. Use goals to understand visitor interests, based on how many visitors meet the goal's rules. If many people view pages that contain related topics, they may be very interested in a larger topic such as Retirement planning.

Developers create goals using JavaScript. See Creating goals and tracking conversions on Optimizely World for more information.

You can filter and save a Goals view for frequent use, and share a view with a linked URL. Saved filters are shown in the All Goals menu.
