Adobe Analytics

I'm working on a solution to track videos on the Roku device.  I've got an idea on how to do this, but wanted to know if anyone has done it and what they did.  Also, wanted to see if anyone from Adobe Product Management had a library for this in the works.

It would make it quicker to trend evars if we could select to trend in the calendar just like on the Visits report.

While sending a report from Sitecatalyst with 'date appended', there are blanks in the file name.(e.g.)  views-february 2012It will be great if there are no blanks.For example, the blanks can be filled with underscores. (OR)  Follow the same file naming convention as SiteCatalyst Data Warehouse.

Site Catalyst 15 shows us which segments are applied in the interface when reports run, but you can't see the definition. In order to see the definition, you need to find the segment in the list, and look up the definition. Displaying the segment definition on the top of the report will be very helpful. Especially when we use segments built by other people or when you need to verify the container (Page View, Visit, Unique Visitor) used to define the segment.

Please make Training Videos available in a no-flash version to view on mobile devices / tablets like iPad

Currently ReportBuilder grabs values for data in reports such as Page | Link Analysis even if there is no data to present. For example, when pulling in a month's worth of data for links that ran a week or so each,  ReportBuilder gives values for all days within the month for each link.  It would be much cleaner for ReportBuilder to give the option to omit cases of days the link had no values.

When I send a report from Sitecatalyst with date appended, I get a file name which contains blanks. Is there any way, I can get the files named without the blanks?However, when I use Data Warehouse, I get the file name without the blanks. Inconsistent across products, isn't it?For example:Stubhub_Spoof_URL_ReportMon. 20 Feb. 2012.csv (file name for reports through SiteCatalyst Report).daily_omniture_with_GTKW20120215-20120221.csv (file name for reports through Data Warehouse)Thanks,Vkash

Our reports (Site Catalyst, Discover & Report Builder) have Google Plus traffic categorized under Search Engines NOT Social Networks. I have to recreate the segments (Search Engines AND Social Networks) in order to make this correct but now I'm stuck with the old, preconfigured segments that are incorrect and need to constantly remind people which to use. Can you correct these?

I would like to be able to filter out only zip codes starting with a certain number not containing the number. As it is today in SC15 I will get all zip codes containing that number anywhere in the zip code. I.e.:I would like to see visits and sales from all zip codes starting with 16 ***.However filtering "16*" will give me all zip codes containing 16, such as 12316 and 91620.This makes it impossible to get data for only some specific zip code areas. 

I'm still not convinced this isn't a bug, but given that SiteCatalyst support has now twice confirmed this is intended functionality, I'd like to see either a roll-back or a toggle that'd allow the canned daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly unique visitors reports to replicate their behavior from SC14. In SC 14, if you ran the monthly unique visitors report, reporting daily periods, you'd get the # of monthly unique visitors for that day, with the total displaying the number of monthly uniques (i.e., the sum of all previous rows). In SC 15, if you run the same report, the # of DAILY unique visitors is reported on each line item, even while the "TOTAL" row still displays the monthly uniques total. In other words, the "period" for reporting is overriding the metric selected in the report, resulting in confusing data that does not sum to the reported total. I admit I'm not sure what the use is of this SC15 "feature," it seems considerably more useful (and less counterintuitive) with the

This would be great, because we have sections on our website (such as popular articles) where the links often change. I want to be able to see who is using this section of the website despite what the URLs are.

When using the "welcome letter" option in the user management area in the Adobe Analytics admin interface, you have the option of sending users a welcome letter (or in many cases 'password reset' letters). The resulting email looks remarkably like spam, however, and is regularly ignored by those receiving it.The sender name is "Adobe". The subject line is "Account Information"Can we please get something a little more specific here? A quick fix would be something more specific ... a sender that looks something like "Adobe Analytics", and a subject line like "Your Adobe Analytics Account Information".Ideally, though, it'd be great to have control over both the sender and subject line info...

After a lengthy discussion with Client Care about it taking 30+ seconds to even access the user management interface, they confirmed that such a load time is expected, and if I wanted it to improve, to add this as a feature request on the Idea Exchange...So here I am. See details from CC chat transcript:Me (Client): it took 30 seconds from clicking the "users" button within the admin consoleMe (Client): no timeout but still unacceptableAdobe CC: Matt, this is expected, if you want to see better performance on this I would suggest a feature request through the ideas exchange.Adobe CC: this is not more than the normalAdobe CC: I have tested this with 2 additional companies while we have been on the chat and the load times are around the same, between 20-30 secondsSimple user management tasks should not take several minutes (string together waiting 30 seconds on each step) on an expensive, mature, enterprise analytics tool like SiteCatalyst.Please promote if you've had the same issue and

In SiteCatalyst, "Apple iPod Touch" appears under "Non Mobile" Device Type with a significant amount of page views. This is misleading when it comes to mobile traffic analysis. It would be great if it can be classified under some type of mobile devices. 

I many companies, there are separation of duties for creating / modifying userIDs and entitlements.  I would request Adobe put userID admin functions in a separate area of the admin tool.

I think it would be great to be able to save KB articles to a specific folder/menu within SiteCatalyst for quick reference. Kind of like establishing a FAQ section for all users to access.

Is there any chance that you could program the app to display more of the first two columns for metrics like referrers?  Being able to see the full URL of what referring links are driving traffic to the site would be extremely helpful, especially on the iPad. 

Currently, previous page is not an available segmentation criteria in Discover. You can select "Page", but may not always be applicable. Need to add the previous page variable, as a segment option to Discover.

A best practice that I use, to make it easier for analysts to find reports related to custom variables (traffic \ conversion \ events \ hierarchies) is to put the # of the variable in front of the friendly name of the variable in the reporting interface. For example, if I have a traffic variable named "Sub Navigation" I'll set it up in the admin panel like this (theoretically as s.prop2 \ traffic 2): "2. Sub Navigation". If I enable a custom variable in the admin panel with a friendly name, it would be great to have the # of the custom variable automatically appear in front of the friendly name of the active custom variable, saving me a few characters (or having to remember to do this myself) in the friendly name field for custom variables.

With v15 the temptation to combine sites in to a single report suite is powerful. However when combining the same site that targets users in different time zones we are forced to select a single timezone.  It would be very useful to de-couple a report suite from a specific timezone and instead rely on user level timezone selection. So a analyst in AU can report on a different timezone than an analyst in UK. 

We would like to know which OSX version our Mac visitors are coming from

The ability to easily & intuitively communicate insights, trends, opportunities is critical to what we do.   Often the path to doing this is as simple as how the "data" is presented.  Case and point - we all can stare at tables of data broken down into 50 rows by state, or alphabetic lists of DMA cities - but that loses ALL ability to in one Picture see the significance of geo graphic trends, shifts, opportunities, segmetns, etc.It used to be you had a map type native to Excel.  Example below is from when we first started raising this idea in 2006 using Map Point to show product interest nationally.  It would be a huge addition to Site Catalyst to let us Dashboard and share information with our partners and customers on natural maps like those showing the GeoSegment visit numbers.  Better yet let us put them in motion to show trends over time!See Also:  IDEA: Geosegment ALL dataSource image file 21267 not available

While i have been working with Discover i have noticed that I found difficult to export the analysis created on Discover onto an excel sheet  for integrating the data from discover with the data from different systems. The reason is that like it or not a lot of companies still rely on MS excel for reporting matters I need to be able to export a excel file containing all the report and of all the workspace used on Discover. The excel file should have the name of the workspace and the name of the report as the name of the sheet (the best would be to use both the name of the workspace and the name of the report $WorkspaceName_ReportName$. I understand that excel worksheets have character limit, though i think that a possible solution or practice it is possible. For example limiting the first 10 characters of the workspace and the first 10 characters of the report might be a possible solution.) If i make an analysis using 5 workspace with 3 report each this mean that i should manually copy

Again, Key Metrics report great new add, and the ability to "Normalize Data" really good idea - we need more of it!  Please add this option to all Trended reports.
