make Bounce Rate default metric

Currently Bounce Rate is only available as a calculated metric. By now this is a standard metric used across industries.

 

It should be a default metric that can be looked at on a page/segment/variable level as well as site-wide

    Thank you, Katyn15, that's how I see it as well. Your recent comments have been very helpful.

    If someone lands on your site, then watches a video, or clicks an exit or download link, but does NOT view another page, is that a bounce?

    @BretGunderson -- No, that should not be counted as a bounce, IMHO.

    In response to JDNland's question: What are the top 5 reports that you would like have Bounce Rate on?

     

    These are my top two: 

     

    1. Referrer Types

    2. Referring Domains (like the Google Analytics engagement report has)

    Please do it!!!!!!! Drives me crazy that I have to use my bounce rate calculated metric (entries/second page views) which DOES NOT match the way you calc bounce rate, thus leading to discrepancies, thus leading to exec's asking why they don't match. Not good.

    We have added Bounce Rate as a default metric in the Pages report; you don't have to set up a calculated metric anymore. However, we are still looking at adding Bounce Rate as a default metric across the entire product.

    I think my comment may not have been clear.  Simply put, I would not want to have the bounce from visit #2 attributed to "Spring Promo" campaign for the reasons I mentioned above.

    Thanks Randy and Laura. I realize that the question may not have been clear. Visit #2 is definitely a bounce. The question is whether or not it should be a bounce for the "Spring Promo" campaign, or whether it should be a bounce that is not associated with the campaign (since the click-through occurred in a previous visit, even though the tracking code persists).
