# Swipes explore The Swipes explore has one row for every sideways swipe, such as through a carousel or a gallery, and every up or down swipe the site's own code handled, on a property with scroll and swipes turned on. A vertical swipe that scrolled the page is scrolling, which **Scroll depth** measures in the [Page views](/docs/analytics/page-views) explore, and never a row here. ## Good to know - A swipe has the dimensions of the page view it happened on, so you can slice swipes by path, page title, country or channel. - A swipe's element is described as a click's is, except that its text is never kept. - Swipes have no click types: those say what a click did, and belong to the [Clicks](/docs/analytics/clicks) explore. ## Used on dashboards None of the ready-made [dashboards](/docs/analytics/dashboards) is built on the Swipes explore, so its charts are the ones you build. ## Dimensions The Swipes explore has 118 dimensions. ### The swipe ::field-table | Dimension | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | Direction | String | The way the finger moved. Left and right are every sideways swipe; up and down are only the swipes the site's own code took, since any other is scrolling. | | Effect | String | What the swipe did. Page moved: the page itself scrolled. Scroller moved: a scroller the finger was on moved, such as a row of cards that snaps. Handled by the site: the site's own code took the swipe, as a carousel script does. Nothing responded: nothing moved and no script took it, often on an image visitors expect to be a gallery. | | Distance (px) | Number | How far the finger travelled in the swipe's direction, in CSS pixels. | | Duration (ms) | Number | How long the swipe took, from the finger's touch to its lift, in milliseconds. | | Page region | String | The part of the page the element sits in: header, nav, main, aside, footer or dialog. | :: ### The element ::field-table | Dimension | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | Element | String | The element the swipe was on: the scroller that moved, else the element the site's own code took it on, else the link or button the finger was on, else what the finger touched. | | Element id | String | The element's id attribute. | | Element classes | String | The element's class attribute. | | Element name | String | The element's name attribute, as a form control carries it. | | Element type | String | The element's type attribute, where it has one, such as a button's. | | Element role | String | The element's role attribute, such as button or tab. | | Element label | String | The element's aria-label, which is often what a carousel calls itself to a screen reader. | | Element path | String | Where the element sits in the page, up to eight elements from the nearest: main > section.gallery > ul.slides. | | Element attributes | String | Every attribute kept, as JSON, which a contains filter reads: data-sku, data-testid and the site's own. | :: ### From the Page views explore Every row also has these 104 dimensions of the [Page views explore](/docs/analytics/page-views#dimensions), which mean the same here and are described there: - **Time**: Event time, Ingest time - **The visitor**: Visitor type, Days since first visit - **The visit**: Entrance page, Entrance hostname, Session page views, Single-page session, Session number - **Scroll depth**: Scroll depth (%), Scroll depth band - **Page speed**: LCP (ms), LCP rating, INP (ms), INP rating, CLS, CLS rating, FCP (ms), FCP rating, TTFB (ms), TTFB rating, Speed rating, Load or route, LCP element, INP element - **Friction**: Friction measured - **Page**: Path, Section, Subsection, Page title, Hostname, Site domain, Query string, Referrer host, Referring domain - **Attribution**: Campaign source, Campaign medium, Campaign, Campaign term, Campaign content, Click ID source, Has click ID - **Attribution carried across the visit**: Session campaign source, Session campaign medium, Session campaign, Session click ID source, Session referring domain, Session referrer host, Session campaign term, Session campaign content, Channel - **First touch**: First-touch channel, First-touch source, First-touch medium, First-touch campaign, First-touch referring domain - **Geo**: Country, Country name, Continent, Region, City, Geo source - **Network**: ISP, ASN, Datacenter traffic, Cellular - **Browser environment**: Language, Language code, Language name, Device class, Screen resolution, Viewport size, Timezone offset (min) - **The visitor's own clock**: UTC offset, Local hour of day, Local day of week, Local day of week number - **Browser, operating system and device**: Browser, Browser version, Operating system, Device type, User agent - **An app**: Platform, Shown in app, App version, App build, OS version, Device model, SDK version - **Data source and quality**: Tenant, Site, Allowed origin, Origin, Tag, Tag version, Collector version, Delivery mode - **Signed-in user**: Signed in, Organisation, Company domain, Global Privacy Control, Scrubbed parameters - **Page type**: Page type, Page type source ## Metrics The Swipes explore has 4 metrics. ::field-table | Metric | Calculation | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | Swipes | Count | Sideways swipes, and the up and down swipes the site's own code took. Bot traffic is left out, and a swipe without consent is never stored. | | Unique visitors | Count distinct | Distinct device cookies among visitors who swiped. Optimistic on Safari for the reason the page view explore gives. | | Sessions | Count distinct | Distinct sessions with at least one swipe. | | Swipes per session | Ratio | Swipes per session. | :: ## Your own fields When your organisation maps data layer fields in Data Capture, they appear in the Swipes explore too: the standard fields under **Standard fields** and your own under **Data layer**. They are left out of the lists above, because every organisation maps its own.
