Analytics

  • Full page path dimension — Custom Results now includes a page path dimension that reports the complete URL path (without domain, query string, or fragment). Use it alongside path segments when you need to analyze whole pages rather than individual path parts.
  • Goal dimensions and metrics — Custom Results and dashboards can break down data by Matomo conversion goals and measure goal-specific metrics. Dashboard tiles can be scoped to a conversion goal so results reflect only visits that converted.
  • Dashboard sort order — Dashboards can be manually ordered with a sort index in the edit drawer; the sidebar list follows your chosen order.
  • Currency-aware revenue — Revenue and revenue-per-visit metrics now format using each website's currency in charts, tables, and tooltips.

PII Scan

  • Smarter detection — Adjacent fragments of the same type are merged into one mask (for example multi-word names and spaced-out phone or postcode digits). Masking applies to whole words only, and standalone punctuation is no longer flagged.
  • PII scan settings — A new Administration page lets you choose which PII categories to detect and tune combination rules (for example person titles only when a location or organization is also present).
  • Clearer redaction view — Mask type labels appear in the settings sidebar only, not inline in the response text. Redacted output uses short placeholders such as {{name}} and {{phone}}.

Documentation

  • Regex in Academy — Academy now documents how to write regular expressions for analytics filters, including RE2 syntax reference for building segment and filter rules.

Analytics & Goals

  • Goals in the sidebar — Beta analytics now lists each Matomo goal in the left navigation. Open a goal to see the shared Goals dashboard scoped to visits that converted on that goal.
  • Nested entry pages — Expanding a folder in beta analytics now includes the index page (shown as /), with counts scoped correctly to the parent folder so totals match legacy analytics.

Surveys & Customer Experience

  • CX data sources — Analytics and Overview tabs are hidden for Customer Experience data sources, so navigation shows only CX Surveys (matching how Heatmaps is hidden for non-website modules).
  • Installation health — The “no recent data” warning no longer appears for survey-only sites with visitor tracking turned off. Survey responses now update the site’s last-activity timestamp, so healthy survey installations stay green.

Session Recordings

  • URL parameter rules — When editing a session recording with a “URL parameter” target rule, the “Value to match” field is preserved on save and reload.

Licensing

  • License upgrades — Mid-term upgrade pricing now credits your existing license using the correct yearly or monthly rate, so the remaining-period charge reflects the true price difference.

AI & Privacy

  • PII detection — Survey open-text responses can be scanned by an internal EU-hosted PII model. Detected personal data is stored for review and feeds the existing flagged-comments workflow, replacing the older keyword-based approach when the service is enabled.
