The name of the metric. See the API Metrics for the list of metric names.
If expression is specified, name can be any string that you would like. For example if expression is screenPageViews/sessions, you could call that metric's name = viewsPerSession.
Metrics are referenced by name in metricFilter, orderBys, and metric expression.
expression
string
A mathematical expression for derived metrics. For example, the metric Event count per user is eventCount/totalUsers.
invisible
boolean
Indicates if a metric is invisible in the report response. If a metric is invisible, the metric will not produce a column in the response, but can be used in metricFilter, orderBys, or a metric expression.
