[Bug] Issue: Inconsistency in Terminology Between Automated Reports and Main Reports

[jmcourtiade]

What happened?

The terminology used in the automated reports does not match the terminology employed in the main reports of Matomo. Currently, the categories or sections within the automated reports use different terms than the primary categories such as visitors, behavior, acquisition, and goals. This inconsistency leads to confusion and complicates the understanding of the data presented in these reports.

What should happen?

For improved clarity and consistency in the user experience, the suggested solution is to align the terminology used in the automated reports with the terminology present in the main reports. Specifically, it's recommended to utilize the same category titles—visitors, behavior, acquisition, and goals—in the automated reports to maintain uniformity and ease of comprehension.

How can this be reproduced?

To replicate this issue and observe the inconsistency in terminology:

1. Access the Matomo platform and navigate to the automated reports section.
2. Observe the category titles or sections within the automated reports.
3. Compare the terms used in the automated reports with the terminology employed in the primary reports (visitors, behavior, acquisition, goals).
4. Note the discrepancies in the terms used, which might lead to confusion or inconsistency in understanding the data.

Additional Information: Any additional context, screenshots, or specific examples highlighting the divergence between the terminologies in automated reports and primary reports would greatly assist in resolving this issue effectively.

Thanks for reporting this one. It would indeed make sense to have that consistent.
