Custom DAU Metric Creation Guide

Custom DAU metric creation guide

A custom DAU metric counts the unique users who trigger a specific event each day, such as Add to Cart. Create one in the Metrics Catalog as a Unit Count metric when you want daily-active-user tracking for an event Statsig doesn't generate automatically.

Step 1: Navigate to the metrics catalog

Go to the Metrics Catalog in the left navigation bar and select Create.

Step 2: Name your metric

Enter a name for your metric. For example: "Add to Cart DAU".

Step 3: Choose the metric type

To create a DAU metric, select Unit Count as the metric type.

Step 4: Select the ID type

Select the ID type to count. For example, select User ID, which is the most common ID type for DAU metrics.

Step 5: Choose the event

Select the event to use for your metric. For example, select the Add to Cart event.

Step 6: Submit the metric

Submit the metric. Statsig now creates your custom DAU metric.
