Hi everyone!
Thanks for commenting on this; the feedback really is much appreciated. We really do understand these concerns, and we want to make it easier for you and your users to get to the data you need. While it may not seem like it, the changes we made to the left nav yesterday are the first step in a move toward a navigation paradigm that we believe you will love. Again, the goal is to provide your users with the data you know they need as quickly as possible, and to allow you to move through your analysis as quickly as your mind can ask questions :)
(One other minor note: What this new navigation will do in the short-term future is allow you to move seamless between solutions in the Adobe Marketing Cloud. So if you are doing some analysis and then you want to switch to Adobe Target to set up an A/B test, you can do that without jumping up to the top level of the Marketing Cloud. The other solutions in the Marketing Cloud will be adopting a similar nav soon.)
Please continue to share feedback and ideas, and we'll continue to monitor these forums.
Thanks,
Ben Gaines
Sr. Product Manager, Adobe Analytics
