  "content": "<p>How to interpret newVisits under totals column? Does it have any correlation with VisitorID?\nBased on my understanding, when a user visits the site, a new visitor ID and session ID is generated. And if the same visitor ID continues the session that is currently on, that does not count as a new session ID. But if the same visitor ID exits the session, and comes back to visit the site, that counts as a newVisit. And is that why most of the values under newVisit is NA (where user with a visitorID is in same session that they were on)? And for values 1 (where user with a particular visitorID exits a session and comes back to the site, hence that is counted as a newVisit). </p>",
