Adobe Analytics

Description - Currently, we are trying to run a report that will pull back all visitors that have placed an order in the last 30 days, what have they done in the last 365 days.  We can set the calendar for the last 365 days, but we are unable to have a segment that will automatically look back to the last 30 days.  Using day, or month will be a manual solution, but is an extra step.  And using granularities will over-ride the current calendar, meaning we cannot look at behaviour previous to the order.   Why is this feature important to you -  Currently, most in the business is using granularities to do this, without realising the impact is has on the reporting.  This means false information / analysis is being used to make business decisions.   How would you like the feature to work - For the short term, can there be a pop-up when granularties is used in the segment to warn that this will override the calendar date range?  Lon

We have fairly static time filters such as Last 3 full months, Last 13 full weeks, Last Week, etc. And I also understand I can go into Date Range Builder and build my own timeframe.However in building reports and having more agility in analytics, a dynamic Last Year (LY) option would be great.  For example, if I want to look at Black Friday TY over LY, it would be easier to just drag in an “LY” filter to compare instead of creating a date filter which is then saved and static.A more use case scenario would be looking at a promo from Oct 25 – Oct 28, if I want to compare TY/LY for this random date it would be easier, as well as usually in a meeting someone would ask “ok what about just Oct 26 – Oct 28”, I need to more agile than building a new date filter.Another scenario is building reports and dashboards, having an LY column (which is the number one question we’re asked) to change as each individual changes the date range they want to see would be huge.

Description - Currently there is the ability to use an advanced function "column sum" in calculated metrics. This adds up the value of all the rows in the dimension and gives a sum. The issue with this is that the number is often different from the 'grand total' at the top of the column of the original metric. This is because the grand total is deduplicating items by default, but the column sum doesn't do the deduplication. For example, if your dimension is products and your metric is orders, the grand total will give you the total number of orders and each row will give you the number of orders for that row. The column sum will add up each of those rows, ignoring the fact that a single order can have more than one product, and give you a sum that overcounts the actual total. To fix this, create a new function that is a grand total, it will take the grand total value associated with the dimension it is put against.    Why is this feature important to you - This is important

As far as I know, there is currently no option in Lightroom Classic to combine automatic editing with custom adjustments. I would love to see a feature where users can define manual adjustments that are applied on top of the automatic edits.For example, these could include:Exposure: Brighten all photos by 0.3 stops after the auto adjustments.White Balance: Increase the white balance for all photos by 100 points.Highlights: Boost the highlights for all photos by 10 points.The key is that the automatic editing remains the foundation, and the user-defined values are applied additionally. This would be incredibly useful for tailoring the auto adjustments to fit a specific style or project requirements without having to fine-tune each photo individually.I believe this feature could greatly enhance the workflow for many users.Thank you for considering this suggestion!

currently we can only upload data for dates that have already occured in data sources. I want to upload targets for specific metrics for future dates. This would give me the ability to compare actual performance easily against targets directly in the tool.

My company runs daily and hourly files.  With the old Data Warehouse UI, I could easily find the 'source' file if I wanted to check the settings, made updates to variables or other settings like schedule or delivery method, etc.  Now with the new UI, I can't ever find my source files - all I see are the 'completed' runs of my scheduled files and I can never find the 'scheduled' one.  I've already opened a ticket about this with Client Care to confirm it's not possible to search by 'status' or 'source file' and he confirmed that it is not possible.  It would really help a lot to be able to find those source files for easier editing without wading through pages and pages of completed files.

Description - there is no way to change the default aggregation behavior for columns within freeform tables. For example, some dimensions have a sum total at the top while some dimensions have an average, with no way to manually change them.Why is this feature important to you - A field our analytics team uses frequently is Visits Per Visitor, however, when looking at certain time dimensions the value does not calculate how we are desiring, so instead of it having a sum at the top, an average would be much more useful. The option to select our own aggregation method would be preferred.How would you like the feature to work - Either in Freeform table settings or within the column gear icon in the freeform table, a way to select if we would like the column to sum total or calculate an average (or median, as another example).Current Behaviour - Certain dimensions total up as a sum at the top of the column and some provide averages automatically (such as Time Spent Per Visit), but being ab

Page events are causing a single visit to switch marketing channels mid-session. With the help of Adobe support, we have tried several options to ignore page events within the rules, but it only causes these page events to get attributed to No Channel Captured. I would like to suggest a report suite setting that would tell Marketing Channel Process Rules to ignore page events. 

Description - When a users share a segment with a group of users or individual, there should be an option to decide edit rights - edit copy or edit original. Why is this feature important to you - Our Analytics community is mixed with foundational to advance users and we are often sharing components based on expertise level. This feature would help us to democratize more of the IP across teams. How would you like the feature to work - The sharing prompt should work much like workspaces. Edit copy - Edit Original- Read Only. Current Behaviour - Today we can only ask the user to clone segments from the components section, if they want any specific universal segments OR work based on trust that the user wont make an update and would be careful.  

Description - When downloading an Analytics Project, the date in the .csv file comes in a UNIX format. This requires a formula in excel to convert to a readable date. Why is this feature important to you - I have users that are not technical and could benefit from a csv export on a preset Project. But they are unable to use the project dashboard because of this bug.How would you like the feature to work - Have a regular date fieldCurrent Behaviour - The date appears in UNIX format (which is not useful) for example Monday, July 3, 2023 will show as "1688356800000". This is not helpful or meaningful for any user. In order to convert the date to a normal setting I have to use a formula "=(CELL/86400000)+DATE(1970,1,1)" to convert the date. 

Hello,We used to use another analytical solution to do our analyses. Adobe Analytics allows a much finer analysis than your main competitor. And that's bravo.On the other hand, you lack a major functionality compared to your competitors: it is impossible today to compare dates in a dynamic way.Example :I want to compare a period01/01/201818/01/2018versus last yearI can use your "compare date period" feature and I will then have the same date versus year-1 namely 01/01/2017 to 18/01/2017but if I change the date in the main panel to put18/01/201830/01/2018My comparison column will then remain on 01/01/2017 to 18/01/2017So it's a disaster for the analyses and I don't see myself updating my tables every time I want to do an analysis.Can you therefore propose a functionality allowing to have a checkbox in the main calendar with the mention :- comparison versus last year- comparison versus last monthAnd this in a dynamic wayThanks

Description -Allow the percent change columns of comparing two different time period to update dynamically as the panel date range AND comparison date range update. Additionally, allow for the option/toggle of showing the change in basis points when comparing percentages like conversion rate and bounce rate. Why is this feature important to you -This is imperative as we share reports with business leaders and stakeholders to change the date ranges dynamically and maintain the integrity of the data presented in the report. As it is now without dynamically updating the calculation as EITHER date range changes, the report presents false and misleading data when date ranges are changed for deeper analysis. How would you like the feature to work -Ideally the comparison date range would be set at the panel level and allow for only the percent change column to be present in the table (or the comparison period also, it would allow either way to work), and update based on the dat

Description - We'd like to be able to upload a csv file that has events and their labels/names, so Adobe can assign those labels/names to the right fields without us having to manually update each event label/name. We have thousands of events. Why is this feature important to you - Reduce tedious manual workHow would you like the feature to work - Automate naming of eventsCurrent Behavior - Manually naming each event 

Description - The request is for Adobe to create the folder structure based on the year/month/day of the writing of the data. Can the Prefix use special characters that would add the year/month/day information to the Prefix automatically?  This is a standard thing with other products.  It helps with partitioning of the data.  Why is this feature important to you - I understand Adobe does not have this capability.  But I would suggest that as a future enhancement Adobe thinks about enabling the creation of subfolders.  Most products I work with today have this capability because it is a standard practice to partition data that is written daily into bins for the day.  With this limitation in the Adobe Data Feed product, it requires extra processing on our side to move the files into appropriate locations post Adobe’s writing of the data. How would you like the feature to work - Current Behaviour - Feature not available.

Situation: Like with other components, it is possible to set a project to "Approved" status. Other components such as Segments or Custom Metrics, indicate this by showing a little checkmark icon next to the name. Projects are lacking this feature, rendering it less useful. (I'm aware you are able to filter by status though.)Request: Add a checkmark icon (or an additional column) in the Projects overview.

DescriptionThe new embedded Guided Analysis feature in Workspace allows users to save configured analysis for future use. The screenshot below shows what a Saved analysis looks like in the left rail.  Unfortunately, once the analysis is created, it cannot be deleted or modified from within the Workspace UI. The only options available are tag, favorite, and approve.  If a user wants to make any changes to the analysis, they have to go to the Workspace manager, select "Folders & Projects" as the view, and then enable the "Guided analysis" Type in the filter. This seems to be the only way to rename or delete an analysis. Note that the search function does not look for saved Guided analysis.  Most users aren't going to look in Folders & Projects in the Workspace manager, so they won't know how to make adjustments to anything saved. It would be easier for users if Adobe allowed them to delete, modify, and share saved analysis from within the Workspace U

Description - Where a subclassification is already created as part of copying a report suite, it is currently not possible to identify which report suite the subclassification is attached to. Tags on subclassifications do not appear in the left rail of the classification sets UI, and filtering by report suite does not return subclassifications.Why is this feature important to you - Where there are multiple report suites that have similar classification requirements, it is difficult to identify which one has been most recently updated with the latest classification file.How would you like the feature to work - I would like to be able to use the report suite filters or tag filters available in the classification sets UI to filter subclassificationsCurrent Behaviour - subclassifications cannot be easily identified or filtered by report suite or Tags

Description -It is so easy when expanding a panel to accidentally click on the x and delate it!How would you like the feature to work -Please add a warning popup when the x is hit.Current Behaviour -It deletes the entire panel and you have to press Ctrl-Z to undo.

Description -Currently, when using "flows" in Adobe Analytics or CJA, you are limited to using only individual dimensional items one at a time.  It would be super helpful to be able to use a hit-based segment so that you can see flows into a "group" of items (ex: a group of URLs).   Why is this feature important to you - Scalability, it will allow the user to see more macro flow visuals. How would you like the feature to work -Allow hit-based segments to be dropped into "flow" displays.    Current Behavior -You can only include individual dimensional items.    

Description -One of the biggest pain points in Analysis Worskpace for my users is that they don't understand which dimensions and metrics should (and should not) be used together in freeform tables or other visualizations. Having a means to connect related dimensions and metrics so that when a user selects one component, the other related components become immediately visible in the left rail would make this easier for less advanced users.  Why is this feature important to you -It would greatly help less experienced users become more familiar with how dimensions and metrics relate to each other and empower them to confidently select the right components for their needs with fewer mistakes and less need for support. It will also cut down on the amount of incorrect data shared company-wide due to misinterperetation of the data or use of the wrong components for their reporting needs.  How would you like the feature to work -A UI tab where admins can create curated com

DescriptionOne of the CJA guardrails limits the number of derived fields that can be added to a Freeform Table to five. When a user tries to add more than this, they will see a popup like the one shown below: While the limit itself isn't an issue, it's highly likely that an everyday user will have no idea what a derived field is and how to avoid using an additional one. There are really only three ways to tell whether a component is based on a derived field: The user can look at the component tool tip, which will include a "Field settings" tab if the component is a derived fieldAdmins can indicate that a component is based on a derived field in the component nameAdmins can indicate that a component is based on a derived field in the component descriptionUsers aren't super likely to look at #1 or #3, and organizations probably don't want to clutter up component names. This means that they may see the notification and immediately contact an admin for help. One option to ma

Description of the Business Challenge:Currently, if you are using a virtual reporting suite to provide a controlled clean environment for your analysts, you need to first go to the admin console to assign dimensions, metrics, and segments to the reporting suite.  It would be easier to have the ability (as an admin) to assign components to a reporting suite while directly working inside Workspace.   Why is this feature important to you - Having this feature will accelerate organizing virtual reporting suites and will also allow assignment of components on the fly.  I cannot count the times I have thought "this should be in the VRS" but then didn't have the time and forgot to make the change.   How would you like the feature to work - When in the components list view or inside a component configuration, allow a dropdown to be present so you can select what reporting suits the component is applicable to.     Curren

Description -1. AWS Web Analytics product team uploads AWS blog meta data via classification importer feature in Adobe Analytics (AA). Also we use Classification rule builder feature to automatically classify AWS product pages meta data in AA reporting. Unfortunately these classification data can't be sent to downstream AWS s3 location via Adobe Analytics data feed feature. We have a downstream bigger data lake system where we send hourly data feed from Adobe Analytics. Every time my team works on the classification addition or modification needs to be manually worked by AWS downstream data engineering team to add the same details in their database to bring parity to AA and other system reporting. This is time consuming and repetitive task. 2. There are limited eVars (250) available for Adobe Analytics. Classification is a great feature to separate out concatenated data being passed to an eVar and store individual values in different coulmns associated with that eVar. This feature

Adobe - please allow for public Workspace projects to be embedded in third party platforms/websites.Currently, your page includes a Content Security Policy (CSP) directive which prevents the pages from being framed by non-Adobe domains. I can think of a great number of use cases for such functionality, including AA reporting in Tableau dashboard without having to design an entire ETL process for moving the data from AA into Tableau.

Description - Multiple Breakdowns Applying as Time Expands.Why is this feature important to you - It alleviates lots of manual work.How would you like the feature to work - To automatically apply breakdowns with certain dimensions to others as time increases.Current Behaviour - You have to manually add 1 or more breakdown dimensions to each month dimension value that gets added as time goes on.
