When utilizing User Count metrics in Statsig for analyzing reports, the handling of metadata is contingent upon the configuration of the metric. If a User Count metric is created based on an event, it will count as one for the user for that day.
However, the metric can be further refined to consider specific metadata values. By configuring the User Count metric to filter for a particular metadata value, only events that contain that specified metadata value will contribute to the count. This allows for a more granular analysis where the focus is on events with certain characteristics as defined by their metadata.
It is important to note that the configuration of the metric determines how metadata is used in the analysis, providing flexibility in how events are counted and reported.
