Sessions
Sessions are one way of measuring traffic to your site. From Google Analytics:
A session is a group of user interactions with your website that take place within a given time frame. A single user can open multiple sessions. Those sessions can occur on the same day, or over several days, weeks, or months. As soon as one session ends, there is then an opportunity to start a new session.

Conversions
A Conversion is the number of times website visitors complete a desired action on your site, such as making purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or filling out a contact form.
In Dragon Metrics, Conversions is equal to All Goals from the selected Google Analytics view, but you may choose a custom group of goals to define what a conversion is.
Average session duration
Average session duration is: total duration of all sessions (in seconds) / number of sessions.

Bounce rate
A bounce is a single-page session on your site. In Analytics, a bounce is calculated specifically as a session that triggers only a single request to the Analytics server, such as when a user opens a single page on your site and then exits without triggering any other requests to the Analytics server during that session.
Bounce rate is single-page sessions divided by all sessions, or the percentage of all sessions on your site in which users viewed only a single page and triggered only a single request to the Analytics server.

If Ecommerce has been set up for your Analytics view and enabled in Dragon Metrics, the following Ecommerce metrics can be shown in the data table by choosing the each column in View Options in the upper right of the table.
