Both Next Page Flow and Previous Page Flow reports in Discover cut off datawithin the Discover interface and in all mediums of distribution (PDF, excel, Save chart as, etc.) This is unhelpful, as this data should be available to share with other coworkers for decision-making. See screenshots: Within Discover tool:http://screencast.com/t/VL0CQkynKJ PDF Export:http://screencast.com/t/jA7uWW2g6jYb Save Chart As:http://screencast.com/t/edeINDrVl 

Currently, if you are looking at a report with a bunch of metric columns and you choose to switch to the "Trended " view, it trends the 1st column metric.  Then, if you switch back to the ranked view, you need to re-add the other metrics.  I would like to see it where SiteCatalyst can "remember" the metrics you originally had and if you switch back to the "Ranked" view, it will use the same metrics you had.  It is annoying to have to re-add these and be penalized for looking at the trended view...

I have not been too impressed with the new dashboards in Site Catalyst so I've been using the older dashboards called legacy. The reason why I prefer the older ones is that they are easier to read. For example if you have a page report, products and want to see numbers - its too small to read on the new ones and alot of the names get cut off. Is there a way to make the new dashboards into the larger report portlets like the older one?

It would be very helpful, as segment get 100+ logic rules, to be able to better handle them.  Either through an import/export functionality or through a better. more detailed interface. Right now the Disco interface you have is not able to handle large amounts of logic. Thanks,-john

In SiteCatalyst, I'd like to see a trend of the number of Orders for which a specific eVar is NOT being set  (aka: "None").  "None" does not show up in the Graph, even though it should. Instead, the graph says "There is no data for the selected criteria" when I filter to just None.  Why?!

If you're currently starting Discover you'll get 2 securtiy messages warning that the JNLP is not digitally signed. Would be great to have a signed JNLP to get rid of those 2 warnings.If the dynamic content (session key and current report if started from the toolbar) cause issues, provide a static JNLP as a first step to have a "bookmark" on the desktop to start Discover without warnings.

It would be nice to have Expand All button to show (add) all rows for eVar, props and Events.  Sometimes I have to click 30 times to enable prop50. 

It'd be REALLY nice to be able to pull in Date as Row Header.  For example, I have an eVar that is set to Country with Registrations as my event.  If I'm looking at that eVar report I can look at the data for a maximum of 2 time periods (using Compare Dates to get the second Time Period).  So now I can see Registrations comparing last month to the previous month broken out by Country.  However, if I want to see a third month, I have to do some significant changes within the Date selector.  Wouldn't it be cool if I could separate every month of the year into different columns?  Like a Cross-tab report? This would be ESPECIALLY helpful in Dashboards too!

I saw a request or two about improving Date handling in Dashboards, but this is a more specific request:When I set the date for a reportlet in Omniture I can easily choose any of the standard Omniture presets (today, yesterday, last 7 days, etc).  This is awesome! However, if I select Last Month, then the preset is not saved properly.  Instead, it sets Last Month to a rolling date. So tomorrow when I log in to the dashboard the date for this reportlet will be the 2nd day of Last Month to the 1st day of This Month => Not very intuitive.  Of course I could set the Dates to Fixed, but then the issue is I have to update each reportlet every month, and that sort of defeats the purpose of dashboards requiring minimal upkeep.  Instead, we should be able to set the Presets to Fixed.  So Last Month is always the 1st of Last Month to the 28th/29th/30th/31st of Last Month, regardless of when I look at the dashboard.

These 3 names in the reports are very ambiguous and don't give you a good representation of what the data is.  Allow the user to rename these so that they better describe what is happening.   In my case I have a report that shows internal search terms.  Over 50% of the metrics for this report show as none.  None would be more accurately described by the name "browse" or "non-search".  

We have 100's of pages of DW requests.  It would greatly ease working in the Request Manager interface if we could search for specific request by name or author.   Or, if we could have a checkbox option to only show those requests created  by ourselves.  Ultimately, a full selection of options where you can specify multiple criteria would be the best solution, but I would take just seeing mine if it is too difficult to implement. Ex query: Only show my requestsCreated between June-JulyUsing the Monkey segmentWith the string "Create Monkey * Files" (all of which returns the 4 DW reports by that name, meeting those criteria, for example).

When you request that one of your report suites be added to Discover, there is the potential for a long period of time while the system does back end processing.  Since the addition is usually prompted by a user request to an admin, it would be convenient to be able to have the admin and/or user(s) notified that the data is ready and that you can now use Discover against that RS.  This is particularly true when dealing with 100's of RSs and 100's of users.

If (whyever) a web-upload for SAINT times-out in the browser Omniture should send out an email stating success/failure on the import.

Currently the 52 weeks prior, 4 weeks prior and 1 week prior trends do not appear consistently with the NRF custom calendar.  You can only see these trends when you first log in and make no changes to the date ranges.  Once you change a date (even whole periods) the trend lines never reappear.  These trends should work with all whole date ranges like they do in the normal calendar. 

Discover is currently pretty weak in visualising geographic data - Insight is better but would be useful to have IP Geography visualisation for tie in with campaign tracking in Discover.

I want to be able to build segments in Discover based on clicks on links by page etc not just custom links.

It would be great if we could have a report which indicated the average age and/or age distribution of SiteCatalyst tracking cookies (current time - cookie creation time) generating visits in a Report Suite over a certain time period. Why you say? A lot of reporting in SiteCatalyst is derived from cookie-based data. There are a lot of ways that the relatioship between cookies issued and a specific human user can be interrupted;- multiple browsers per user- multiple devices per user- multiple users per browser- blocking of cookies from a browser- deleting cookies from a browser I understand that there is no maigc bullet for the effect the above factors have on cookie <-> user, and certainly over time the effect grows in a given cookied population,  but I would like to be able to assess the rate of the effect and therefore the confidence I can place in cookie-based reports over a given time period. eg If I am trying to track attribution of multiple campaigns to conversion, does the

It would be much easier if Admins (or a selct group of users) could customize the menu within Site Catalyst right from the main interface (instead of going through the admin interface). Ideally, click something to enable menu customization and drag and drop & add folders for Custom Reports.  Fewer steps = always better. As long as ability is limited to Admins or other select group of users who understand the implications.

Using the comparison reporting module is awkward due to the following UI bugs: 1. You can't edit a custom comparison item - once created you'd need to create it again, call it the same thing and then save over it 2. If you do edit a custom comparison as per above and it's already being used within a report you'll need to remove that comparison column and then add it back in - it doesn't update automatically 3. If you want to delete a custom comparison you can't unless you're prepared to delete all the custom comparisons you've added to that folder - this is perhaps the most annoying bug as one can very easily end up with a lot of custom comparisons that were used to test various things and now clutter up folders

If you're logged into Discover and have a long period of inactivity (an hour or more I think) and then run a new report you'll be prompted to log in again... not an issue. The problem occurs in that after you login again your email address disappears from the email field when scheduling reports to be sent to you. This is obviously quite annoying if you're running a lot of reports and emailing them.

Would make admin-life easier if we could also add bookmarks to Admin items: You could add direct access to your most used tools/menus.

Would save some time if the Admin menu would get more flyout menus like this one:Similar sub-menus could be added for the Admin Console itself or SAINT Classifications.Currently I need to click through 1-3 pages to reach my destination. e.g. Webservices is Admin Console -> Company -> Webservices.

In Report Builder, I use many site-level metrics to evaluate our many report suites against each other.  One metric that seems to be missing is Bounces (aka Single Access Visits).  Having this metric in RB would allow us to trend those that bounced and as a result, back them out and get a more valuable picture of what our visitors do on our site. Thanks!
