With the launch of SiteCatalyst 15, we now have the abiltiy to trend up to 5 key metrics at one time. I think that it is awesome that we can trend up to 5 key metrics at one time, which is more than we have in SC 14. But I like the ability to trend more than 5 (somewhere around 7-10). While the graph may seem a little messy, the problem that I am running into is that our customers cross-shop between different segments a lot and I have specific metrics for the different segments that I would like to put next to each other to see how they might impact each other and I usually look at more than 5 key metrics. While I can do this in excel client/report builder, i would like to be able to put this in a dashboard in SiteCatalyst.

Currently in SiteCatalyst you can create dashboards to hold various reports that you want to review on a regular basis.  In our company we have a set of reports in a dashboard that pertain to the current month and past months.  When we run our reports we like to see it graphically, for a quick overview, and in detail below so that we can see the specific information for each date.  When you enter a report into your dashboard, and have a graph with it, the details will be cut off around the 16th day of the month.  Even if we split the report into two, one page with the graph and the next with the details, we are still only seeing 30 of the possible 31 days.  The only solution to this is to only us a portrait format to our reporting. It would be nice if SiteCatalyst had a way that we could say how many items we wanted to see in the report and then they adjusted the size to fit all of our required dates, or rows, of a report.

WHen I or someone else shares a report by linking to it, and they use a segment that the recipient does not have, it will simply show "Unknown Segment" in the dropdown menu. Also there is no way for the recipient to see how the segment has been setup, or any way to add this segment to their "segment library". This is really annoying and is such a basic thing. Please add the functionality for the recipent to at least be able to see the name of the segment and/or its rules/content, and givethem the ability to add the segment to their own list of segments.

Right now, in a Genesis report (say an email campaign name rpeort), the %'s next to each metric (Opened, Clicked, etc.) are based off of the total # of ALL emails at the bottom, but I want those %'s to be based off the # sent for just that particular email, not all emails.  I think this is standard email metric practice.

The ability to remove outliers from reports with revenue data. This is particularly important when measuring the impact of any A/B testing or MVT activity through Omniture reports, as average transaction values can easily become skewed by large instances. Currently this process requires a Data Warehouse export and manual filtering in Excel - a feature in SiteCatalyst/Discover would be a great time saver.

If we want to swich report suite, we should use VISTA program.I want to swich report suite by admin console as defoult function.Becouse I use development enviroment by proxy. product enviroment and develop enviroment is same domain.So I can't use dynamic account selection. 

I love the Report Suite totals reportlet available in dashboarding, BUT, I need to be able to show this information with segmentation applied, so I can (for instance) compare these key metrics for all traffic vs. first time visitors. This seems like an easy tweak. Let me know!

We have a wide array of users of different skill levels in our organization.  With that, we find that we get some questions that could be easily answered with the Knowledge Base or Help Section.  We recommend Knowledge Base in training, but we find that it isn't typically used.  It would be really helpful if there were a little label on reports that said "Need Help?" or something of that sort, and could be expanded to show a list of the top few of the possible relevant articles given their current report and metric(s).

The 'Instances' metric in Correlation Report is actually Page Views, as it states 'SHOW PAGE VIEWS FOR THIS ITEM CORRELATED WITH:'. So it would be clear to use 'Page Views' instead of 'Instances' for the metric.

Add the ability to show segment details within ReportBuilder reports (just like the ability to include the date, metric name, etc.) We recently switched to v15 and love the ability to add segments to ReportBuilder reports.  But there isn't any option for showing the segment that was used within the ReportBuilder document.  Within ReportBuilder documents, items like the report name, metric name, date range, etc. are all givens -- or at least they are pieces of information that we can include or hide within the report. Currently there is no way to include the segment within the report, which can easily cause a report to be confusing (at best) or misleading (at worst).  The reports look like segments haven't been applied. Client Care advised that we can open the ReportBuilder request to review the segment, but that isn't a solution because:- one RB user can't view a segment that was created by someone else (if someone else created the segment and didn't share it with me, I can't view it)-

I would love to trend YOY data in ReportBuilder so I would love if there was either no limit or if the row limit was 731.

Currently the only option is *.xls, which does not support XML, and furthermore it somehow triggers Protected View in Excel versions 2007 or later.  Please upgrade to Excel 2010 for downloads. 

The vendor you use to classify IP addresses and designate visitor location changed the name of some of the cities. For instance, what was "London (England, United Kingdom)" is now "London (London, United Kingdom)". The change was made October 26, 2012. So any segment that was build prior to that will not work. And trending or Year Over Year comparisons are invalid, due to the name change. Also, the new names make less sense than the old names. Every little snafu like this causes stakeholders to lose faith in the data. Please make (and keep) names consistent. 

I've recently come to learn that when building a page view segment on an eVar that persists longer than a page view will include not only the instances where the eVar was set on the page, but also all page where the eVar persisted.  I can see an argument for both sides, but I would like to see another option in building the segment where we can either select the peristent eVar (current functionality) or just instances of the eVar.  This would make the creation of these segments much more intuitive.  I think of a page view where a value is set, and not necessarily where it is persisting. The work around that is used now is to set the value in a prop as well, and it's a silly use of a prop to just use it for segmenting by a page view. I have not confirmed if this works this way in Discover or not, this is referring to SiteCatalyst and DataWarehouse.

I would like the chance to add alerts to calculated metrics in a given report on a given line. Lets says I have a report that shows various lead forms, and I would like to add an alert that triggers when a certain form exceeds a given percentage on the submission rate (calcualted metric), this is not possible in SIteCatalyst today. The closest I can get is to have an alert on the calcualted metric itself, but this would then include ALL lead forms, and be for the total submission rate, and not per form.

Report builder is indeed a powerfull tool but you should really include at least a few licenses free of charge with the purchase of your sitecatalyst product.

Can we get ReportBuilder being fully integrated with Excel capabilities meaning supporting VBA/macros as well? .xlsm format cannot be saved/scheduled currently and thats a huge challenge right now for us because most of the reports/dashboards we have uses some or the other macro/VBA programming.

When on the Processing Rules page, you cannot tell what rule does what.  Either add a separate line or allow users to add context to the processing rules so they don't have to expand the rule to remember what it does. 

When a user gets their account locked out from entering too many incorrect passwords they have the ability to unlock their own account. The problem with that is they have no idea they can do that!! A simple request of a new password (the forgot your password link) will reset any locked account. I get so many emails about users asking me to reset locked accounts, that it is really becoming very time consuming. Please please please add some language to the 'you are locked out' message that will give the user some instructions on how to unlock their own account.

The latest version (currently v15) should always be the default one selected on the login page.  This should be easy to do, and would save us an extra click on almost every login.The 'Remember me' cookie does not help as we have to regularly clear cookies during testing.The last 'idea' for this is marked as "Implemented" - but it has fixed the version to 14, rather than dynamically selecting the first version in the list, which is (should be) always the latest version.

It would be nice if all Referrer Reports (Referrers, Referrer Type, Referring Domain, Original Referring Domain) were correlated to the pages report by default.  That way we don't have to use one of our data correlation slots for it.

I am sure I can pay to have more than 15 two-variable Data Correlations for my account. We have only been serious about using Omniture for six months and have already ran out of these data correlations. Please allow more by default - perhaps 30.

Could you add the "Creation Date" as an additional field in the Data Correlation Admin screen?  It would be good to know when correlations were created in the event someone needs to know when the data started collecting or if you just need to "clean up" correlations.

When looking at existing correlations they only show "Traffic X" although the drop downs when building these, show the assigned name and slot number.  IDEA: Please show the business assigned names for variables in Correlations along with their variable number

We are constantly going in and changing our 2 item traffic correlations depending on what we are testing, debugging or analyzing at the time.  I would be great to get more 2-item correlations now that we have full subrelations on all evars.
