Hello Aspirants,

How is everyone doing in their certification journey? Any questions? Any roadblocks? Let me know.!

Take a look at the resources for the below components in Analysis Workspace:

Metrics:

Metrics allow you to quantify dimension items, such as to see which pages on your site have the most page views. You can also trend metrics over time, such as to see how many orders visitors make on your site each day. A basic report shows rows of string values (dimension), against a column of numeric values (metric).

Dimensions:

Dimensions are variables in Adobe Analytics that typically contain string values. Common dimensions include Page, Referring domain, or an eVar. In contrast, metrics  contain numeric values that tie to a dimension. A basic report shows rows of string values (dimension), against a column of numeric values (metric).

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/analytics/components/dimensions/overview

Segments:

Segments allow you to identify subsets of visitors based on characteristics or website interactions. Segments are designed as audience insights that you can build for your specific needs, and then verify, edit, and share with other team members or use in other Adobe products and Analytics capabilities.

Good Morning @abhinavpuri 

I have been working through the exam sample questions and I seem to get stuck at the segment questions. Particularly when they visually give you different segments to choose from as the answer. Is there any suggestions or recommendations on how best to approach those questions?

[abhinavpuri]

Hi @Nicole_Ned_SA ,

That's a good question, I might not have a universal answer but here are few tips -

• Carefully review the question, Most of the times the questions have exact reporting/analysis requirement as keywords which would help get better understanding.
• In the visualizations of segments pay close attention to Container Type / dimensions / values selected to ensure you've correct setup of segment.
• Ensure you've reviewed all the values setup in segment definition for dimensions, sometimes the values are not same as requirements in question.These options are easier to eliminate.
• Whenever in doubt, start eliminating wrong answers first and pay extra attention to the one's that you think are right one's.

This answer has great insight thank you. The answers are all SO SIMILAR with slight differences. Just need to spend a little extra time on these.

[Nicole_Ned_SA]

@abhinavpuri , there was a question regarding the introduction of secondary server calls. This is a concept I have never quite understood. Can you possibly explain it using an example of where and why you would use it please?

[abhinavpuri]

Hi @Nicole_Ned_SA ,

That's good question, Let me try and answer in simplest way -

• Primary Server Calls: These are tracking calls made by Website to Adobe Analytics Servers for data collection, these include all possible ways to track data (send data to Adobe Analytics servers) like - Pageview tracking calls, Custom link tracking calls (Custom/Download/Exit) and also data-interstion API calls.
  
  For example: We land on website "example.com" and pageview call is made to our only report suite: "example_rsid_US", this call will be Primary Server Call.
  
  
• Secondary Server Calls: Copies of primary server calls created by multi-suite tags or copied/moved by a VISTA rule. If a secondary server call has been moved (not copied) to a different report suite by a VISTA rule, the accumulated secondary calls are deducted from the primary server calls.
  
  For example: Let's assume we have a Global report suite (for holistic reports) and one country based report suite for each Market/Country. Now If we land on "example.com", with Multi-Suite Tagging (Multiple Report Suites Tagging) that is: report-suites = "example_rsid_US,example_rsid_Global".
  Single pageview call will be made to Adobe Servers and the hit will be copied to secondary report-suite ("example_rsid_Global").
  
  So in above scenario:
  "example_rsid_US" will incur One Primary Server Call
  "example_rsid_Global" will incur One Secondary Server Call (as the same hit was copied here)
  
  I hope that answers your question - Let me know if additional details/examples are required.

[Nicole_Ned_SA]

@abhinavpuri thank you for this explanation! Its clears this up for me. We have a global report suite as you mentioned in your example above and hence the explanation of our secondary server call numbers makes sense now! Thank you
