Adobe Analytics

The variables set in the Analytics extension's Global Variables seem to not fire on all rules/rule types (see Global Variables - Direct Call Rule ). This is similar to how it was in DTM.It would be great if we had some control over this (maybe give me the ability to say "fire for all beacons" or "fire for all s.t beacons" or "fire immediately before any beacon, but after other rules" or something), or by default they DID fire anywhere the Analytics Extension was in a rule. Otherwise, folks still have to resort to using doPlugins, or setting up a rule for global variables that somehow fires on all other AA rules/beacons.

Description -Server Call Report: All Server Calls added to VisualWhy is this feature important to you - We would like to be able to see the graphs have the option to not only show "Primary" and/or "Secondary" calls, but also have the option to show "All calls" in the graph. We track the usage by using all calls, and would like to have a visual option of showing them all from the Server Call Report. How would you like the feature to work -Just have the option to have All Calls shown in visual format. Current Behaviour -Only have the option to see "Primary" and "Seconday", but not combined. 

I was very excited about this feature, but I think it does not provide any value as is. There's never a scenario where I only need to breakdown the top 5 items, so I am stuck in the old method of manually breaking down each second level line item by the 3rd variable for anything beyond 5 items. It would be great if this could be increased to up to 25 at least. Ideally the breakdowns would be applied to the full table (including new values after it is built!) This may be a separate issue, but once I build a table and additional values populate, they are not broken down along with the rest of the table even if they move into the top 5 position. The manual maintenance lift on this is huge.

With the existing Data Warehouse Tableau export functionality, there are several limitations (e.g., length of time to export, gap in measures available, etc.).My proposal is to implement an Adobe Analytics Tableau Direct Connector. This will allow Adobe Analytics customers to increase agility with reporting and allow resources to be shifted from reporting to more time spent analyzing and recommending actions based on the data.

A little formatting could go a long way to help me read the operator list. It's hard to pick out the individual operators due to each true operator having an opposite false operator.It's a quality of life change that will save me a few seconds in segment builder, and make me feel fuzzy inside.Couple of ideas:List the trues first and then the falses (I don't really like this as it might move a popular false operator lower down the listFormat the false operators differently so that they contrast to the true operators. That way I can more easily scan the list to find the type I'm after, then pick the true/false. 

Hello,I searched the forum for similar topics but only found threads which were from at least 4 years ago and also without solution. As I have to export reports on regular basis, it would be more than helpful if the reports could be exported in xlsx-format. I think that many users would appreciate this feature, as Excel is still a standard tool.Kind regards,Patrick

Description - Currently there isn't an ability to configure CORS for tracking servers. Especially in the case of setting up first-party tracking, it would be great if more restrictive origin traffic could be specified.Why is this feature important to you - It could cut down bot/undesired tracking and it would flag fewer exceptions when probing a site for CORS compliance.How would you like the feature to work - During the process of engaging in discussions of first-party tracking and using first-party cookies, it would be ideal to provide both the necessary CNAMEs to reference the tracking servers as well as any additional configuration changes that would be needed on the client side. Ideally, we could limit origin to the specific site we expect to send data from, and maybe a less restrictive, non-public endpoint that can be used for any server-side API data insertions.Current Behaviour - Right now the following header is allowed "Origin: null". Every endpoint, including those that

It would be a nice feature if we could globally replace a component across all tables withinin a panel where that component exists. For example, our company has over 15,000 product categories.  If I want to build a dashboard showing one category (s.products  = snack foods) I would have to drop 'snack foods' on top of each table wihthin my project.  I am unable to use a hit segment, because the hit segment would include other categories where 'snack foods' was present (i.e. on an order that includes 'snack foods' and 'pet supplies'.   If our project contains multiple tables, then I (or other users) have to update each table with the category to be analyzed each time we want to see metrics for just that category. Having a 'replace all' would all us to update the dashboard with one action.  Users of the table would have to follow fewer instructions to update a dashboard and it would allow us analysts to create fewer dashboards to support the company. 

I would like to see the custom segmentation variable types combined so everything is an eVar, but with Pathing optional.  sProps would simply be eVars with Pathing enabled and an expiration of “Page View.”  This would also include the combining of Correlations and Subrelations.

Hi all... I would like to propose two potential improvements to the use of filters in Workspace. 1. Allow filters to be used/set at a report level.- At present if you have multiple panels which you want to have all the same filters on you need to add them each manually.  It is a pain.  It would be easier if you could set the filters you want on a report (or on one panel and select apply to all panels - the same way dates currently work potentially). 2. Allow you to control width of filter diplay text/content- At present you cant adjust the width of text that displays for a filter.  As such you either need very short filter names or need to hover over each filter just to see what the actual filter is you would be selecting.  It would be great if you could adjust the display width of a filter (the same way you can with the column widths).

We NEED the ability to drag and drop events or dimension values into a visualization, and have workspace generate a visitor retention graph based on those different dimension values, with the visitor's first instance of that dimension counting as day 0 or the "inclusion metric".This would be especially helpful for evaluating tests, where visitor's are served different experiences, and we want to see which experience results in more visitors returning to the site in the n-th day/week/month.I know that workspace currently allows us to use dimensions in cohort tables, but this fails for the purposes of evaluating tests or feature based retention. If the visitor came to the site in the 1st week, but wasn't exposed to the test or feature until the 4th week, the cohort table will still include the visitor in the "included" group as if they had seen the test in the 1st week. Sometimes this results in the cohort table displaying higher than 100% retention values for a test or feature.We can ge

Description -As every company has his own preferences of storing and naming documents, it causes expenditure to rename a document every time over and over again. So my idea was to replace this process by a function of Adobe PDF. I thought about a function that enable to capture key information about a document while creating it. So that this information is converting to the file name automatically. For example the date of creating, the valuta date, the subject, document type and so on. Since some companys could still have individual preferences of the order and type of information, it could be an additional function that allow the user to adjust the information and order he likes to have in the documents names.Why is this feature important to you -I am working in the administration of an asset manager and have to work with many documents daily. Every time a new document arrives us, I have to rename and save it in a uniform structure.How would you like the feature to work -Current Behav

Right now, it's apparently not possible to include a comma inside a product name in SiteCatalyst.  I presume this is some hard-coded limitation inside the data processing component.  The solution is to strip commas from the source data.  This is a bad solution.  Munging data is just a bad idea. I can just see someone down the track, who doesn't know the story, doing some perversion or other with the data from SiteCatalyst and wondering why the numbers don't align.  Then wasting a day or more before realising that the SiteCatalyst data, unlike the source data, doesn't contain commas.   In this instance, the data I'm talking about is movie titles.  "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".  "Synedoche, New York".  Commas are pretty common in movie titles, and are really an integral part of the data. Sure, I could use a unique identifier and then use SAINT classifications blah blah blah.  Yet another automated upload process to monitor and make sure it doesn't break and stay in-sync.  Sorry, but

Description - In Adobe Analytics Alert builder, the field for "Select Dimension Item" is limited in size, which prevents seeing the full dimension name (even though there is a large white space to the left of it).Why is this feature important to you - When scrolling through an Alert definition with many dimensions which have the same prefix, there is no way to find a specific dimension without clicking on each one individually to see the rest of the full name pop up.How would you like the feature to work - Very simple... just increase the size of the entry/display field, so either the full dimension name is displayed, or at least as much as possible to make use of the unused white space to the left.Current Behaviour - Long dimension names are cut off, and require clicking on them to display the full name.

Hi Adobe,It will be great to have some year over year comparison visualizations option available in Adobe Analytics Workspace as shown in the below image. This will help users/execs better understand and compare the trends over the same time previous years. Currently we are having to extract Adobe data in to BI tools like Domo or Tableau to build such charts.Thanks,Srujana- https://rnd.aspencore.com/eetimes-redesign-adtest/

Can we have "calendar events" show in workspace?

Now we can add text with style. Can you please allow us adding images? It will be a great enhancement for our report. Usually we show data about content or page performance and business team need to have a visual link to that figures.The same I can do here in this post:Let's start with a simple inclusion of <img> tag where we point to an external source for image, then you can take your time to figure out how to manage image hosting...Jarno Rossijarno.rossi@luxottica.com

Current Issue: Right now, any breakdown shown in a freeform table is nested below/underneath, which is visually confusing and makes the breakdown difficult to read.Proposed idea/solution:It would be great if breakdowns could be in tabular format, so that they displayed next to the other dimensions as a column, rather than a row nested below underneath. Please see below image:Ideally users will be able to toggle back and forth between "tabular format" and the current view where breakdowns are nested underneath. This will make it easier visually to discern the breakdowns. Right now the only tool that allows for tabular format is Data Warehouse.Thanks!

We have built a number of intro and overview dashboards for our users and it would be really useful if (as admins) we could pin dashboards to the top user's workspace lists - preferably by user group. We currently use tags to highlight them, but if a user has a long list of workspace projects, the dashboards can become a bit lost. 

Currently when you add a new user, they default to Reports view. As Adobe is pushing users to Workspace, doesn't it make more sense to either default to Workspace or allow administrators the option to select  where users land? Every new user I add, I have to explain how to navigate to the right location and set their own default space to open. I don't want to push a Workspace dashboard to All users every time I add someone new, as this is inefficient and some users might have decided to set their own default dashboard and this action would override their choice.

Description - Currently in report builder, it is only possible to breakdown 5 rows. That's too little. I'd like to be able to select many more.Why is this feature important to you - To be able to have reports with breakdowns that react to different segment filters selected by the report user.How would you like the feature to work - I can select 50, 100 or all rows to be breakdown, when using report builderCurrent Behaviour - Currently in report builder, it is only possible to breakdown 5 rows. That's too little.

When the Undo hotkey is pressed inside the description area of any Workspace visualisations or in the Text visualisation, the last action in Workspace gets undone instead of the last text entry.Consider a scenario: a user is typing in a description for a panel. It may be a few paragraphs of text. And then they make a typo, presses Cmd+Z to undo the last text entry, but instead the whole description block disappears as it was the last action in Workspace (description addition/ change action).Make the Undo function work as in the text processor when it's pressed in the description/ text area.

Description -At this time there is no way to cancel an Analysis Workspace project exit without discarding all changes or saving the project. If you hit the back button on your browser, click on any navigation options in the top level navigation, or accidentally press the back button on your mouse, you are shown the message in the screenshot below.  Unless you click "Save", even if you don't actually want to save your project for future use, you will lose all of your work.Why is this feature important to you -There are times in which I am pulling data using Analysis Workspace but don't need to save a project for future use. On several occasions I have accidentally clicked the back button on my mouse and had all of my work discarded. This is very frustrating. Most software and websites allow a "cancel" option before exiting a page or project in which updates have been made. How would you like the feature to work -Ideally, the process of exiting a project should be like clo

What - We would love the ability to restrict templates to a single user-group.  While there is the ability to share to a single group, there does not appear to be a way to restrict the masses from seeing a particular template.  Why - For a large, enterprise organization, governance across hundreds of users is critical.  The ability to lock down a particular template to just a single group would help our management of permissions immensely.  Thank you for your consideration!

In my opinion the Flow charts visualization in Workspace has a big flaw: it displays the page reloads: whenever I try to see next page, biggest chunk is again the same page. It would be good to remove the page reloads and make it similar to the Google Analytics flow charts, to only see next page. This would make the flows more clear
