Description - Allow classifications based on date dimensions like 'Day'- this would make analysis of custom date periods like financial years, financial weeks, seasons, etc. much easier. Currently if you want to work with something like this you have to create individual date ranges for every value. If you could classify 'Day', you would be able to upload a single .tab file that mapped the Day to all the custom date classifications you want, then to analyse these you would only have to drag in a single dimension in workspace.
Why is this feature important to you - My analytics team have asked for better implementation for datespans like financial weeks. They currently use date ranges, which is very manual when analysing long periods that split into many date ranges as they have to drag in each week individually.
How would you like the feature to work - In the report suite traffic/conversion classifications tab, add 'Day' to the available dimensions to create classifications based on. Then in classification importer you will be able to upload a classifications file that maps the Day value to custom date classifications.
Current Behaviour - Currently the only way I can find to do something like this is to track a custom eVar for the date the user is on the website, then create classifications based on that. The issue with this is that it isn't retroactive, so you can't use these classifications for the time before you started tracking the evar. Currently no date dimensions are available in the classifications settings to use.
