Setting up Goals provides you with the option to measure your site's performance.  It also enables you to see if you have achieved all that you set to accomplish. For example, you can set a download page as your goal. The tool will provide you with exactly the number of users that achieved this goal, and the path they have taken through your website to achieve it. In the Reports section, you can create a report that includes informative Goal conversion funnels, tables, charts and summary widgets. The Goals section is accessible from the Settings window or navigation pane, simply click Goals and you will be presented with a page showing all Goals you have setup.

Goal Reports

CardioLog Analytics comes with out-of-the-box Goals reports as you can see in the following screen shot -
Goals Reports
 
 
One of the key Goal reports is the Goal Funnel report which shows a specific goal funnel. Within each box is the number and percentage of visitors who continued during each step. The boxes on the right hand side show how many people abandoned each step and where they went. The boxes on the left show how people arrived into the funnel and where they came from.
Please note, you are able to choose whether the Goal Funnel report requires all steps that were set when creating the Goal. That can be done by clicking Report Action, under the Advanced tab see Require First Step.
