Analytics increments the Unique Events metric by 1 the first time during a session that it receives an event with a unique combination of Category/Action/Label.
A defined goal is track once per visit.
So if you have for example these two events in a session:
- Event 1
category: Form
action: Complete
label: Sign up

I did the analysis over the weekend on cost/benefit -- And I decided that because we are a sort of "cookie cutter" platform it made sense to automate the process of GA accounts. That being said, it is required that they all be moved to a single "master" account. What I did:
