Hello dear colleagues, I was wondering if I can see, from a user perspective (with Injection RUM enable), how much time is spent on a page? (Not from a performance point of view [Ex. visually complete]) Thank you ---

If you look at any specific user session, it tells you the particular time the user triggered an action. ![25268-actiontimes.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/a/aa9fbee9d425bcabb2c5945f1b252ce1cc727174.png) Does this help? ---

Eh, I knew that 🙂 I will be more specific, does an USQL exist for having such detail? I have tried but without success ---

Ahh I see. You do have metrics for useraction.startime and useraction.endtime which you could potentially use but I’m afraid it may not be as straightforward as you’d ideally want. ---

My best guess then is: there is a way to export user session and to make more elaborate analysis with a third party integration I will walk this road to see what I discover ---

You could make a conversion goal or a custom property that states if a user is on page “x” for “x” amount of time mark it. So then you could see that User Chris, was on google search page for 15 mins, on a certain day… etc.. You might not be able to get an exact number like 26 mins on that page/domain but you can say for sure that it was at least what you set it as. Just an idea. ---

I’m not sure if that would work. You can only do ‘time’ based conversion goals for the entire session and not individual user actions. ---

I dont think the user is looking to get the total at an action level, rather on the page that the user is on and the total duration. im not 100% sure if you can define the goal that way, you might need to toss in some request attributes to use and make a few conversion goals. Incorporating the attribute would give you more power and granularity in the reporting aspect. ---

I’m taking my time, but I’m looking at this right now: [What is digital experience monitoring?](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/export-dynatrace-user-session-data-use-3rd-party-systems/#:~:text=Go%20to%20Integration%20%3E%20User%20session,%2Fimport%2FDynatrace%2FuserSessions%20). ---

I’m running into the same question Yaan asked back in June. Was a solution found? ---

Hi, in the end the direct answer is no but the more elaborate answer is that you could do it if you apply a logic on the data exported on another engine (Dynatrace has the elasticsearch solution on the go in their doc) ---

You guys could try the [PowerUp Chrome Extension](https://github.com/LucasHocker/DynatraceDashboardPowerups), it allows you to do basic math in dashboards using predefined metrics. is not the best solution, not support officially by DT. But is something.
