Adobe Analytics

Dear support Team,If we have a Dashboard in Adobe Analytics with multiple embedded reports, we would need to recreate the data by creating a new Workspace project from scratch.It would be helpful if we can move the dashboard from Adobe Analytics to anaytics workspace with a button click instead of recreating at workspace.Regards,Kumararaja K

Hi,we sometimes get strange traffic which does not look human.Currently we filter it out in a segment: certain browser for certain months...My suggestion is to be able to filter in Bot Rules certain browsers. Ideally also for historic data, and it would be great to be able to set the time period of the filter.

I have a few ideas for Timestamp in SiteCatalyst:Allow this setting to be done in the Admin Console. Relying on ClientCare doesn't seem necessary since Timestamp capability is not a contract-based feature.Why have a Timestamp setting at all? :-)  Allow SiteCatalyst Report Suites to accept both tags that don't have Timestamps (and process them immediately) or tags that do have Timestamps. Why only 1 or the other?Thanks - that's it!

While I enjoy using Ad-hoc Analysis, I wish I could open it in a browser instead of having to launch/download it, especially because it also requires me to manage updates to Java.

Unfortunately, you cannot utilize the normal undo functionality in Excel to undo deleted or bad requests.

When scheduling projects in Adobe Analytics you can select the html format. However for Workspace this isn't doable. Since most email clients allow rendering of html, this was a nice feature to see the content of a report in one glance.It would be very handy to have this feature again.

It would be great to have a date stamp on the filename of every sent scheduled project. Many of the receivers like to save the PDFs but they all come with the same file name and they have to edit it by hand.

The new workspace is great but it's very difficult for individual users to browse through specific metrics and dimensions that apply to them. We're using tags today to try and sort through the mess but tag control is pretty limited and messy. It would be great to be able to group metrics or dimensions in an organized way to provide drop-downs. It would also be great to be able to hide metrics and dimensions for specific users and user groups so it's easier for everyone to find the data that applies to their role.

I notified Adobe support team many times about errors we have in the real time report. No way to bring them to the fix. So here the workaround we need:give in real time settings the possibility to1) hide comparison to previous periods (since it's wrong most of the times)2) exclude duplicated hits. In other words, give the possibility to count once per visit (since end-users dont understand that counting hits needs to be extremely careful, before giving any conclusion)

When setting up processing rules you are not always sure youwill get the desired outcome, especially with suites that contain many rules. It would be great if there was some functionality to run the processing rules against a test string to see if the desired outcome is what I was expecting. For example, I would be able to enter my value somewhere, and see what it would look like after all of my processing rules ran. Currently it is way too difficult to do any real testing to ensure the desired value will be achieved.

Allow users to expand panel-level segments and components. Segments with longer names currently get cut off when they are used at the top of a panel. Hovering over the segment in workspace will reveal the full name, but does not solve the problem in PDF exports or when the segment is part of a drop-down list.

Note: I am not sure if this exists as an idea already.There are many cases in which you want to remove an eVar, sProp, calculated metric or a segment, but you are not sure where it is being used. For example, if you want to remove an sProp from your implementation, there is no great way to see which components are currently using the sProp and which Workspace Dashboards are dependent upon it. It would be great if there were an automatic way to see what is dependent upon what so you can more easily clean-up items in Adobe Analytics.

As Admin I have the ability to edit another users workspace report for them and save it.As a standard user, users are unable to edit reports shared with them, they can only do Save AsThis causes issues when more than 1 person needs to collaborate on a piece of work, they are unable to share and save changes / updates without doing Save As then sharing the workspace back, which creates multiple reports of the same thing in essence, and also leaves things open to mistakes, if one is updated and Saved As, but the other person not sent it and they are using an older version

Is it possible to create a calculated metric that can be used as an automated alert to detect if any dimension's value begins appearing at a higher or lower than normal frequency.  For example, if I wanted to monitor the product dimension to see if any individual product suddenly had a large shift in volume (like a new product rolls out, or a particular high volume product suddenly drops off).  Or in another situation, I want to know if any state's revenue suddenly increases or decreases. I know this can be done by explicitly defining or selecting the dimension value but is there any way we can do this without selecting the dimension value and the alerts to say "Value-X revenue decreases by x %".

Add activity map fields in clickstream feed.

Previously I posed an idea regarding including HTML in Workspace. This request would be slightly different but in the same vein. What we would like to see is some additional settings for the Workspace dashboards and the widgets included, nothing too complicated, but some additional customization:The ability to change the background colour of widgets/workspaceAs a simple enhancement, perhaps a Dark Mode setting with preset coloursMore flexibility along the horizontal layoutThe ability to place widgets with some vertical spacing (not defaulting to sticking to the top)The ability to adjust padding at the widget level (maybe similar to the workspace settings)The ability to turn borders on/off at the widget levelThe ability to remove/hide the title of a widget or panel (especially on the text panel)Let me know what you think.

It would be great if calendar events could be added to analyss workspace

Understanding where components are being used is essential to our ability to efficiently maintain and improve our workspace set up.As we are still waiting for Analytics on Analytics ( see Analysis Workspace: We need analytics on Analytics!​ ) one of the ways we have worked around this is to 'tag' segments, calculated metrics, and workspace project with the components they contain.This makes segment, metrics and project searchable by the components they contain giving us a level of traceability not available 'out of the box'.  The downside of this is that it does require a fair amount of maintenance.If we are not going to get Analytics on Analytics in the near future, please could you consider automatically tagging segments, metrics, and projects with the components they contain? (i.e. so that as components are added tags are added, and as components are remove, tags are removed)Alternatively, just deliver Analytics on Analytics

Currently the Event Serialization solution uses an identifier to uniquely flag the first time hits with the specific ID.  Meaning if two visits have the same serialized id, Adobe will only retain the data for the first hit record that has that id.This capability is extremely helpful with eCommerce sites and with serializing for purchases, in cases when the same transaction id may be transmitted twice because users reload pages (as an example)I propose we expand the use cases for this solution to include a solution that would serialize based ona user/devicevisit number or datea specific user actionThe most immediate benefit of such a expansion would enable Adobe to differentiate 'user actions' from 'unique user actions'For example, say you have the following hit recordsDevice 1, visit 20, sees the home page - serialized ID = 1Device 1, visit 20, sees a product details page - serialized ID = 2Device 1, visit 20, sees the home page again - serialized ID = 1Today if you look at Occurrences

You can currently make an entire workspace a template which is great.But it would be awesome to be able to templatize individual panels or visualizations.For example: templatize the fallout visualization for checkout. This way users throughout the organization can easily drag it over for their custom workspace.Currently, having to duplicate a templated workspace then remove all the components that aren't needed is cumbersome. This would also be a powerful way to standardize reporting throughout an org.

While Adobe is working on exporting more than the 400 rows in a Workspace freeform table page, this doesn't take care of the displaying of that data.  Workspace can only show 400 data points or less in a chart visualization.  Reports & Analytics can show an (virtually) unlimited number (e.g. days).  We use this to spot larger trends or to zero in on when a given event might have occurred.There should be a way to select how much of a data set is displayed in the Visualization Settings, perhaps an additional drop down like the rows displayed (e.g. 1, 5, 10 ... 400) with Complete Data set selection added at the end.

I just did the setup for some alerts. Now I noticed that the information in the alertmail is very simple. I selected several elements that may have triggered the alert. In the email I'm not informed which element has triggered the alert. I woul like to see the relevant element. If possible it would be great to see a full report where the compared numbers (e.g. PI) and the exact variance (+x% or -x%). Please see screenshot. The alerts today are not very helpful. Regards,Hjalmar

It would be great if SiteCatalyst alert emails included a link to the relevant report. For example, I have an hourly alert set to fire when the number of carts fluctuates by more than 25%. When I get the alert email, the first thing I do is is run a carts report. So, wouldn't it be sweet if the email itself linked me to the report?

Having some basic reports available to Adobe Analytics admins showing the top used Dimensions and Metrics. The report would be populated by the existence of a dimension or metric in an Analysis Workspace project. This could help inform Adobe Analytics admins and devs alike on what may need to be cleaned or hidden from the implementation, who to contact if a change is made, etc.Date and/or days since last used# of projects where dimension or metric is presentSpecific list of projects - could inform who to contact if a change to how data is collectedProject owned by X person, shared with Y peopleLast modified byTop users by dimension or metricFeel free to add to this list - this is simply a starting point on getting a better handle on an implementation.Thanks.

Our business has migrated to Workspace in full force, converting all legacy reporting and creating both simple and complex workspace dashboards.In creating all of these reports we've missed certain elements in the UX space of our dashboards - HTML components.In the legacy Reports module, we were able to add things like images. Even as I'm typing in this editor, I can see many great options which would enhance the visual presentation of reports. These would include:<img> tag: The ability to insert HTML-linked images<hr> tag: Useful for breaking up widgets as opposed to using separate panels<br> tag: To create some whitespace without an <hr><a> tags: Enhance the existing link capability to allow for undecorated links (very useful for index-type dashboards which link to other dashboards)I think the above would be simple enough to implement and give us a little more control over the look and feel of our workspace dashboards.
