If I have multiple values on a page and I use variable lists to separate these out in Omniture. When I try to combine sucess events in data warehouse with this data the output shows the combined values not the separated list variables. e.g "value A | value B | value C" on one line. Can we get support for separate variable lists in data warehouse? 

I found out that evar user/ group rights can't be set. This seems really strange for me, because all other variables like s.props, events, ... are available for setup. I think this is a major bug because it makes absolutely no sense! It is common to track many data in s.props and evars as well at the same time. Hiding information for a special user group is not possible! It would be great if someone can fix that!Thx,Hjalmar

I would like the ability to provide a brief description of each report suite with essential info that a casual user would need to properly interpret the data. Typically a given report or set of reports has a few things that the user needs to keep in mind - the type of things that might help explain how to reconcile between that report and other data sources. I'm currently working to implement and use SiteCat for the first time. I've asked if this feature exists and am told that it doesn't.

Fallout reports don't allow for optional steps or nodes. Right now we can only set up reports with mandatory checkpoints. It'd be nice to allow for optional steps.Thanks

This is probably the main outstanding issue in our company.  Account managers need to filter custom traffic reports across their accounts and in order to do this, we need to apply a correlation on each reportlets of a dashboard - there can be as many as 10. It would save us a lot of time if trending could be applied at the dashboard level.

when revising the Reports Suite list, RS names are shortend even there is enough space to show full name. No Mouse over effect to see full name.Please change. Thx

We have over 1300 RS and more than 30 Roll-ups. First it would be good to know, when I filter for RS (let's say by order number) how many RS were found Second, it would be helpfull to see how many RS are in the selected Roll-up in order to check if all filtered RS are allready added to the Roll-up

Similar to this request to graph % on the same graph as numbers. Would be useful to graph different metrics using the same technique. http://ideas.omniture.com/t5/Omniture-Idea-Exchange/Graphing-Volumes-amp-Percentages-on-sa me-Trend-Reports/idi-p/520

You should be able to view, for example, Page Views and Visitors in the same table and chart. One uses the left axis, the other the right. It lets you see any correlation.

If you have a report with a classification it is often confusing/ unclear where exactly you are in the Reporting structure. Let’s  say there is a report Pages classified by a number of characteristics: Type, Source, etc. If you open the report Pages > Type, the name of the report will be just “Type”. I would suggest to show “Pages > Type” instead as this would look more logically. This is even more important when you have many different reports opened.

For some strange reason there is no compare dates functionality when viewing events data.

In comparison reports, it would be useful to run the report for this-month-to-date compared to the same period in the prior month. So if the current day of the month is 10, compare to the first 10 days of the prior month. As the current month rolls to 11 days, the compare to the prior month rolls to 11 days.

Most sitecatalyst implementations end up getting a getValOnce enabled on campaigns thus giving the campaign responses exclusive of reloads and back button etc. very few people know of the Click Through Quality plugin which provides the Click Past and Total Click Through metrics. The Click Past metric is the equivalent of Bounce Rate for Campaigns and holds the same relationship to campaigns that bounce rate does to pages. For those who havent heard of it Click Past denotes the number of Visits where the Campaign respondent visited another page after the landing page (clickd past the landing page). This definition is also inferred as no such definition has been authentically provided by Omniture. Unfortunately,  this metric is not available even as a calculated metric the way Bounce (Single Access / Entries) is. While there is another post that suggests making Bounce rate a default metric - whether it gets done for all metrics or not - these two additional metrics should be provided out

The current implementation of the Metrics Selector in SiteCatalyst cuts of metric names at a small # of characters.  This makes it difficult to grab the correct metrics or forces you to name them differently than you would like.  I think it would be an easy fix to change that window to be horizontal instead of vertical so you can scroll and see the full names.  I also think the other drop-down items should be tabs so you can get to them easier...

Existing Functionality: Currently users are unable to add the Lifetime Click-through metric to reports, similar to those available for all custom events.Idea: Provide users the ability to add the Lifetime Click-through metric to reports

Almost every day I face with an inconvenience that I cannot open a new report in a new window. If I could click right button on a menu item to open the desired report in a new window, this would make my working hours happier.

Thanks for the update on Excel columns/total alignments - The fix does work  (See IDEA: Excel Alignment) Now if we could just solve the mystery why when exporting a report to Excel where all the Metric/Event names are wrapping correctly on the screen, when it get's to Excel the Event names are literally truncated with "..." - Clearly Excel can handle text wrapping, why aren't we exporting the full names?  (See below) See Also: IDEA: Dashboards should show Reports as defined by us  Nameplate BP: Fin...   Search ...  Quick ...1. ford f-150 158  19.12%129 22.05%142

When exporting a report in Excel format, the column headers in the data table are always misaligned. For example, if I export the "Tracking Code" report, the "Tracking Code" column header will be in column B, but the list of codes is actually in column C. This can be extremely irritating when sharing the reports with other people, who may be unaware of the misaligned columns. The misaligned columns also make the report more difficult to read quickly. This bug has been around since day one of SiteCatalyst 14. It would be really, really, really cool if this bug could finally be fixed.

It would be really helpful if you could map the default success events to custom events.  When you have to submit things like revenue and units via transaction ids, you can't use the default events and instead have to use custom events.  This makes it extremely difficult in many cases to use different tools due to the "hard-coding" of these events into different tools.  It would be nice if we could just point the revenue event to a custom event in these situations.  Even better would be for you to fix the bigger issue of not allowing us to use the default events with Transaction Ids.

I would like to set an alert based only negative percentage occurrences in traffic pages. I believe any positive percentage change is good because we are talking about the traffic, but I am more interested to set an alert in negative percentage changes to monitor any misbehavior of the site and not only the complete blackout from the server. For Example if you set an alert by percentage changes like 50% then you will received an email either +50% and -50% and I would really like to avoid positive changes over-flood emails.After I submitted an question the ClientCare responded "Negative percentages are extremely rare. If you would still want to setup an Alert letting you know when a negative percentage occurs you can setup the Alert to show: " is below 0" for this report."The above instruction from ClientCare did not work as I expected. I think negative percentage occurance would be a great tool for monitor purposes.

Please add the Email Text box to the initial window when sending Emails from reports. High percentage of the time we want to add some comments when sending reports to people but despite the abundant space we always have to go to the Advanced Delivery Options popup, wastes time. This text should appear clearly at the top of the email as normal text, and before the report body itself. Sample Layout (Green box):

Unfortunately, every time when I need to make a copy of an existing RS I have to make a new RS by using the option “Duplicate an Existing Report Suite” first and then ask Client Care to copy all the setting to this new RS out of the existed one again. This is really inconvenient. The Duplication does not provide the Administrators with the desired result.

Along the same lines as the dashboard feature request, we would like to request a tool for duplicating custom navigation. Same reasoning, we have different dealer "levels" and it would nice to have preconfigured nagivations applied to these new report suites at the time that we sell access to the dealer and determine what level they are, rather than having to go set up the navigation manually for each account as it is sold.

I always have a hard time explaining what "Instances" is when talking Referring Domains - and why this numbers adds up to more than the Total Visits count. Please make "Visits" available as a metric for Referring Domains.

I reported this as a bug, but I was told by ClientCare that "this is working as was designed". I hope a post here in Idea Exchange could change that. Today: There are an unmotivated space before the text rows are shown in the tables in the dashboard reportlets making them look really bad (and I have a hard time explaing for end users why the reports do not use the space that are really there). The text should of course be left lined and not be placed somewhere in the middle.As it is now we need to use large instead of medium sized reportlets and medium instead of small reportlets to be able to see the text. Idea: All rows in all tables in reportlets should be left lined.
