Adobe Analytics

It would be great to introduce "seg-dims" into Adobe Workspace. What I mean by this is the ability to almost folder/group created segments. Current workaround for this is by naming segments 'x: abc' and 'x: def' - then searching for 'x:'.

Webmaster Tools provides great visibility into search performance - full keyword list of terms, with impressions, clickthroughs, average position, etc. This information has become even more valuable as most organic search terms are now blocked. The Webmaster Tools interface, however, isn't fantastic, and the ability to get the data organized and exported properly is frustrating. Google Analytics has helped here - you can link GA and Webmaster Tools, to allow users to take advantage of GA's better reporting functionality. It seems to me Adobe should do the same here - by using the Webmaster Tools API (https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/) full keyword data could be brought into the Analytics interface. Granted it isn't integrated with site usage data, but that's still a whole lot better than what is in place now. My guess is almost 100% of clients would want this functionality. Right now, we are running both Adobe and GA in parallel in order to get this reporting functionality

Login to Adobe Analytics web interface. Navigate to Admin > Logs.I would like to have an API version of this.Use case: Ability to create tools for GDPR EU law compliance (e.g. AA user from EU able to provide their credentials and receive AA access/usage logs about themselves).

I capture the pageName in an eVar on each page load. The expiration is on the hit. That gives me pageNames in a variety of additional reporting. However I'd like to associate the eVar pageName (and other page attributes stored in eVars such as Channel) with custom events captured on clicks that occur on the page. With the expiration occurring on the page load, the eVar completely misses them. I could use the Minute expiration, but this just isn't precise enough. If people stay on a page longer then I would miss events.  Letting it expire at the end of the visit could really confuse things in the reporting even with overwriting. It would work better if the tool had an option to expire on the Next Page Load. That would capture all potential events without worry. As an additional option, Next Hit could be helpful as well.

...just some food for thought :-)I find it really confusing that we have to buy 'Mobile Services' to get access to the marketing link builder capability.It feels like it is just such a fundamental analytics requirement to understand what marketing channel is driving app downloads etc. that it should just be a standard part of Analytics rather than hived off and bundled with a push notification capability (always seemed like an odd pairing!).The website equivalent would almost be like trying to sell the s.campaign/marketing channel variables as a separate add on

Based on the way we use to have reports, we need to add elements to the workspace with different settings from those Adobe chose.That simple change takes so long time at the end of day... and makes us hysteric!!Could you make possible decide if those settings have to be:- as Adobe decided- as Current user decided- as last selectionWhat settings? All you have in "column settings":- anomalies- background- ...But also in charts, and general settings (compact layout, ...).Thanks

Currently Advertising Analytics only works for "Google Adwords" (Advertising Analytics Overview). But in the same Google Ads account you can set up  "google display ads" and the data gets delivered by the same API as already used in Advertising Analytics. The problem is, that the generic "s_kwcid" parameter delivers a not expected AMO ID...idea: open Advertising Analytics for Google display ads"remark: after I made some testing on the "s_kwcid" parametes and having a look at the AMO ID cöassification, I believe it would not be muchvwork to get it up and running officially. my "fix" already works, but some data is missing (like "placement"). Let me know if you need more information to make the change.

Currently, when an alert expires this seems to happen silently.This creates a situation where someone relying on an alert may believe it is still in place but actually it has stopped working.In order to ensure continuity of important alerts, the creator and/or recipients of an alert should be notified when an alert is nearing its expiration date.Please can this be considered?

While it's unusual we're a relatively large business and sometimes rely on the logs within the admin section to identify who made a change in certain situations. Currently Data Feed changes don't show up under the logs, these are particularly important to us and any changes can severely impact downstream processes in our business if changed without prior planning and notice. Could changes to these be added to the logs so we're able to identify who made a change, when they made it and to which feed.

I need to be able to filter average-destroying bot data out of my Workspace Analysis reports (if it's not filtered already). It makes reporting on Average Page Depth extremely difficult. Please bring Bot Pages and Bot metrics into Workspace Analysis and Segment builder!

In theory this may seem unnecessary given if you're in a report suite all data is coming from the same place, however, due to the fact calculated metrics can be used across report suites if you want a single calculated metric with some minor differences between report suites then you have to create multiple metrics. If report suite was a dimension you could use it in conjunction with an IF formula to return a slightly different result for each report suite, that would make it much easier to build a single metric that can work across multiple report suites.

Hi, To avoid any confusion between what we expect and what we really get in the reporting can you improve the "Run Test" functionality to reflect that all "0" values will be report as "[empty]" or "None" (Known issue: https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/kb/en_US/analytics/kb/zero-as-key-value-in-saint.html). Here is what we get in the "Run Test": But the report we get "None": Here is teh answer I received from Adobe Client Care: "The screen shot that you are referring to is to validate the regular expression. When it come to Report & Analytics Classification, Classifications cannot differentiate the value 0 from a blank cell, so it cannot classify this value. This is working as designed."

I'd be great to have a debugger for metrics, especially UVs. Sometimes it's hard to see/know which metrics are being incremented or what the current count is for my current session. 

It would be very efficient to be able to use a bar chart with a line in it to show more data.For example, I could use the bar to show numbers and the line for percentual growth, i.e. to show visits and revenue with conversion rate, as shown below.https://searchengineland.com/figz/wp-content/seloads/2013/06/column-line-combination-chart.jpg

DB Vista is one of the most under-utilized features of Adobe Analytics because it requires working through Adobe's Engineering Services. I would like to see a version of DB Vista that is available to administrators as a self-service instead. Just as Data Feeds used to require Engineering Services, but now is self-service, so too could DB Vista. I have found that Data Feeds is used much more now that it is more accessible.  I think the same would be true for DB Vista.I also think that this would help enable this tangentially related idea: relational data for processing rules

Hi Adobe Team,I want to submit a product requirement (Fallout report by dimension) which I believe would be a great help for lots of customers.At present we view reports / fallout report at overall level or segmented level but if we have to compare across multiple values in a dimension (e.g., Multiple values in Operating System dimension) then we have to create multiple segment which is quite slow and error prone. Having a feature in which we can add dimension as a column header (just like pivot) will greatly ease the usage. Regards,Himanshu

Almost everything (e.g. props, evars, segments, metrics etc.) within Adobe Analytics can now have a description added to it... except AlertsIt would be incredibly useful to be able to document the purpose of the Alert within the alert itself.Please can you consider adding a description field to alerts?

when looking at the "scheduled project manager" i can see all schedules by default and have no option to filter to only "mine" (especially if i don't have any schedules).This functionality is different from all other managers where you see by default your own (or shared) items and then can expand to all items (for an admin).Request: only show the schedules of the current user by default.

We are seeing a large number of Payment Sites, especially in Asia and Europe obscuring the true referrers. We currently manage these by adding them to the list of Internal URL filters, but the list is growing, and it would be really helpful if Adobe were to start building and maintaining such a global list, similarly to the list of Social sites and Search engines.Alternatively,  these payment sites can simply be excluded through "contains" filter (e.g. exclude URLs containing 'bank' or 'card'), but the current list of Internal URL filter currently requires an exact match.Understanding that some companies may, indeed, want to keep these referring domains, this feature should probably be with an on/off switch per report suite.

Current analytics intelligent alerts are much better than legacy alerts. These are some thoughts to enhanced Intelligent Alerts in 2019.1. Ability to exclude/filter alerts on weekends vs weekdays. (Much awaited request since a long time) @ursboller has great workaround ideas here https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2598789. 2. Ability to add custom text alerts on certain future dates. Campaign start/end Dates. 3. Ability to add an alert on evar/prop value anomaly.  eg. "standard" login evar value anomaly vs login event anomaly.4. Ability to add an alert when a report is ready to pull in another system.Please add more thought in comments.

Currently there is no way to report video data using video heartbeat in a video within an acclerated mobile page (AMP) article. This is a major setback to implement AMP on our video heavy properties. As a media company this is crucial to us. Is there anyway to do this within the AMP infrastructure?

For example, on rubular.com using the regular expression /TestString/i matches teststring and TestString and TeSTstriNG Would also like to have \L lowercase regex replacements in an Adobe Classification Rule Builder rule.  For example, match $1 and lowercase it.http://www.regular-expressions.info/replacecase.html

As an Adobe Analytics leader across many markets, I would like to enable account & data access governance by creating different permissions for our reporting users. In the Old Adobe product, you could provide Read Only access to the Admin - Report Suite settings section. This means user could at least go into the configuration of a report suite and see the eVar, Props, events, marketing channels rules that are created (but prevent their ability from modify the settings).Today you can not with the new portal. It has a "Read" view in Permission-Report Suite Tools, but you can still Write & modify configurations. This is not good for data & account set-up governance.I would recommend to redefine the current Read Views as they are quite inaccurate.

There is a point where workspace becomes extremely slow... for sure due to the number or structure of queries. Could you add a small box to log the list of queries with status (ready / loading data / processing) and last performance in terms of sec? So we can understand where is the problem...

Hi I have previously raised this point but it didn't get much attention.We are very keen to share workspace wider with our users however we want to do this in a controlled way using curated projects. We don't want all users to have complete un-curated access. We wouldn't give everyone access to ad-hoc and workspace is now more powerful.However we have found that users have found a way to bypass their access levels and create un-curated projects when they shouldn't be able to. They can do this just by clicking the 'Try in workspace' button in R&A. This gives them a completely unrestricted access to workspace when they shouldn't be able to. When we have external agencies able to do this then it is potentially breaking all sorts of data security processes.Joe
