Gather custom metrics such as user location, device type, carrier speed and
application usage for your mobile user.
A custom metric for your mobile app requires only a name match in the
app configuration to go along with your project source code modifications. Use the
following steps to ensure a match between the named value entered in your app
configuration and that used in your source code for the given timer or metric.
For more information on mPulse metrics, see Metrics and custom metrics.

Note: Changes can only be applied by
re-submitting your app to the App Store.

- Percentage is divided by 100, and then multiplied by
100. Decimal places are to the right of a given decimal point. For
