Adobe Analytics

Adobe captures a session timestamp. That timestamp, at present, is not surfaceable in processing rules. Understandable becauuse processing rules do not have regex or parsing capabilities. However, the atoms of that session timestamp, and associated metadata, are very valuable to a researcher. These include: "As a researcher, I want to cross the HH:MM with a video name so that I can calculate an AMA.""As a researcher, I want to cross the day of the week with a pagename so that I can compare Monday traffic patterns to Sunday traffic patterns in aggregate.""As a researcher, I want to cross HH:MM with timezone with a video so that I can understand how timeparting and timezones affects AMA." If specific components of the timestamp could be surfaced in processing rules, multiple timeparting features could be enabled. (The implementor would assign that data to specific variables to taste). A concrete example: a.hour  : expected value 00, 01, 02, 03 ... 22, 23a.minute: expected value 00...59a.

The multi chart functionality works on ranked reports but not on trended reports even though it makes it look like you can do this.  Would like this functionality on trended reports for the same reason it exists on ranked reports.  Also even with ranked reports when they are added to the dahboard they no longer show the multiple charts.  

Many times business team is concerned about data of last bucket because there is no visibility on chart about time of last update. I strongly suggest you to add this detail in the note of any chart, in the same way we have now other details:I ask that for standard reports in Adobe Analytics, but please figure out how to have it in Workspace as well.Jarno Rossijarno.rossi@luxottica.com

We're currently looking at importing offline sales data in order to help us evaluate the performance of our optimisation campaigns.  Ideally I want to be able to look at the A4T ranked report with a number of online metrics and our offline sale metric. I've attached a screenshot which shows the standard A4T ranked report and the Sales metric that is being imported using Data Sources.  Currently we're importing the sales metric as event11 and correlating with purchaseID, so when I look at the purchaseID report against event11 I'm seeing data as expected. However, if I try to breakdown A4T activity reporting by purchaseID and then tie to event11 it will show all as zeros. I'm assuming this is because the sales event is only correlated with the purchaseID but not the A4T activity report.  It would be extremely useful to be able to evaluate Target campaign performance against offline data that forms a key part of the end to end purchase funnel.

I would love to see the ability to limit User capabilities within Analysis Workspace. I continue building out beautiful visualizations that someone destroys based on things they weren't supposed to click on. Right now all I can do is limit their ability to create and curate, but not edit. I would like to take away certain users ability to edit these dashboard but continue to leverage the interactive capabilities of Analysis Workspace. I spent more time re-building broken dashboards based on user error than anything else which is devaluing the tool.

It would be really beneficial to be able to download all data from workspace project into csv format. At present you can only download the current page data, and when wanting to split data by, for example. a customer ID and by multiple metrics this is not possible.

I created a rollup across 15 suites and noticed report builder can't pull the data in. Please give this ability, so we can easily schedule reports.

We want to create an Alert to tell us when a Tracking Code is outside the bounds of accepted codes, to tell us when a marketing person has created an improper code. But I notice when I drag Tracking Code dimension to the "filter" section, the UI ONLY allows for "equals" checking. This isn't feasible because we cannot possibly anticipate every badly formatted code. I tried using an asterisk, but that doesn't work either.Ideally we would like the Alerts to allow for "contains" or "starts with", etc., similar to what is available for segment creation.  We use a standardized format for tracking codes per web property, so for instance for a certain web property we should only have tracking codes matching the format of EM_01_(whatever).  So an alert we'd like is if a tracking code ever is something like EM_02_*, EM_03_*, etc.

There is no way to tell which feeds are paused. Maybe add it to Status? Also it is not obvious how to resume a paused feed.

Hi Team,Reaching out here for basically a 'Product enhancement' so as to help client leverage the Alerts functionality(within Analytics) better.The ask is to trigger an alert(notify a registered user on the client side) when the current day's data falls by more than a particular percentage(say 30%) when compared to the same metric number for the same day last week. For example: We would like to compare today's visits data(Tuesday) with last Tuesday's data.Based on my understanding, this cannot be configured based on the current set of available configurations. Feel free to add to this if necessary.Any thoughts/ideas/workarounds are most welcome.

Ascena, the parent of Ann Taylor has added Box Accounts (similar to DropBox) as the preferred way to receive scheduled reports.  Can Adobe add this to its product lines, especially Analytics.Tom PonosukAnalytics Lead, Ann Taylor, LOFT, Lou and Grey (Ann Inc, division of Ascena)

i really love the anomality detection to get a hint where something is wrong. but having big workspace dashboards makes it hard to fund the anomlities ...New textbox with anomalities summaryhow about a new text box (similar to the visualization "text") which has a list of all visualizations where an anomality has been detected. and to make it great, the list is hyperlinked to the visualization  

Hello, As a user, I want to be informed by a short text message that the feature I am trying to use is not available for X reason. Example : I tried to select a segment on a report (key metrics) running on a rollup report suite. I couldn't know/ remember/ spent time to read the help section/... so I wasted my time and the one of Adobe Customer Care people to get the simple answer : segments are not available for rollup report suite. A simple text message close to the feature position ("segments are not available for rollups") would have helped a lot and spare time to many people. Instead of that there was a blank space which is confusing for a user, and let me believe it was a bug.... Thanks.

In most cases, folks create new Bot Rules specifically because they've uncovered a bot that has been messing with their data... unfortunately, by the time you've identified the problem and created the rule, it's too late: the bot has already done damage.The workarounds are pretty drastic- applying a segment to every report, or moving entirely into a Virtual Report Suite that doesn't include the bot traffic retroactively.Bot rules working on historical data would be a huge help.

We created a Virtual Report Suite with limited data access so one of our partners can create workspaces on their own.  I created a group specially for these people.  One of the hang-ups we are running into is when they create a Workspace Project and want to share, they have access to all users in the Org, not just their group which is a big security concern.  We do not want users visibility into all users.  We'd like to see it limited to the groups the "sharing user" is a member of.  Example:There  are 200 users & three Groups in the Org; GroupA, GroupB & GroupC. UserA is a member of GroupB & GroupC that have 15 & 20 users respectively. When UserA creates a workspace project and shares it, they should only be able to see & share to the other 34 users in GroupB & GroupC.

Hi, Currently in Adobe, we use a few calculated metrics that rely on averages. We use arithmetic mean when calculating Average Order Value(Sum of Revenue divided by Sum of Orders) and Average Selling Price (Sum of Revenue divided by Sum of Units). Unfortunately, when applying these calculated metrics to a smaller population or segmented data set in Adobe Analytics, the mean does not account for outliers. It would be nice if calculated metrics had a harmonic mean function.

It would be nice if there were configuration variables in the library, something like s.queryParamOverrides = firstName, first_name, fname, address ....s.queryParamOverrideValue = foo wherein a list of query parameters can be overwritten with the value contained in s.queryParamOverriveValue. Many of us face data protection issues and adding the option to strip or override these values would be a great help in helping/simplifying things. Cheers Kevin

Make them more like Classification Rule Builder Rules, where you create a rule and specify what report suite(s) it should apply to.  It is a NIGHTMARE having to maintain PRs across hundreds of report suites!

I would like for my scheduled projects to appear in the email body, like the scheduled reports from reports and analytics do.Current Workspace delivery optionsCurrent Reports and Analytics delivery options:

When we manually delete user account under "User Management" in Adobe Analytics, we have a transfer option that helps to transfer all the user's reports, schedules, dashboards etc.. to a generic user account before deleting. It would be great if the "Delete" API also has that option, because today it only deletes the account. Today I automated the process to identify the user accounts that needs to be deleted, the the actual deletion process is always manual due to this reason.

When attempting to setup Advertising Analytics with a large number of accounts, the process is very cumbersome. If you are a large organization with many Google Ad-words accounts, this process can take a very long time to setup. There should be an easier way to setup this integration if you have many accounts.

As a company with a large number of users and thousands of custom segments; we are experiencing performance issues Segment Manager and connecting to Report Builder due to the large volume of segments that have to load for these applications to initiate.  Idea:Provide a column in the Segment Manager allowing us to sort our segments by date of last use.  Last use would provide the date that this segment was last utilized in the Reporting API by all analytics products (Reports & Analysis UI, Report Builder, Data Warehouse, AdHoc or the API).  With this feature, we could safely delete segments that are not actively in use regardless of when the segment was created or edited.  I have for example a segment that was in a report that was delivered via Report Builder to my inbox this morning shows a “Date Modified” in the Segment Manager of “Aug, 18 2015”. That date is accurate as in that was the last time I created or saved the segment; but in this case I would like to see "Last Use Date"

Hi I would love to have a feature in sitecat where an email is sent to the administrator when a particular user login validiity expires. This will help the administrator to provide user access to a small period and on expiration the administrator could decide if the user needs access for the future. RegardsVani

there are 2 scenarios I would like to see covered  I want to allow a group of users to access classifications for a dimension but not the raw data in the dimension itselfI want to allow a group of users to access some but not all of the classifications

We manage a lot of report suites and users in our organization, and having the following functionality available via API would be hugely helpful for us, and cut down on Client Care requests. 1. Update menu customization to v 1.4. There is a method for this in 1.3, but it hasn't been implemented in 1.4--is there a plan for that?2. Ability to hide/unhide report suites in a login company. We have thousands of report suites that need hiding and a method for maintaining them over time. 3. Update Default Metrics (There is a bug currently where Default Metrics are not copied from a template. Client Care indicated this was a low priority for a fix).4. Get/Save Bot Filter Rules5. Enable Transaction ID (or at least have Transaction ID be something that can be copied from a template) 6. Enable Marketing Channels
