Annotation operator update

Description - Update the dimension operator in Annotations from AND to OR.

 

Why is this feature important to you - Currently, if an annotation includes multiple dimensions, it only appears on a Workspace dashboard when all of those dimensions are present. If the dashboard contains only one of the specified dimensions, the annotation won’t be visible.
For example, if I create an annotation using both eVar1 and eVar25, I must include both in the dashboard for the annotation to appear. To work around this, I have to create separate annotations for each dimension.

 

How would you like the feature to work - Change the annotation logic so that it uses the OR operator. This way, the annotation will appear if any of the specified dimensions are present in the dashboard.

 

Current Behaviour - Annotations use the AND operator, requiring all listed dimensions to be present for the annotation to display.

While a bit more work, could you use Segments / Calculated Metrics to create the OR logic?

 

For instance, for eVar1 OR eVar25...

 

Could you not use a segment like:

 

Hit [

    eVar1 exists

    OR

    eVar25 exists

]

 

Then create an annotation using a metric that would be available on both of these (page views, occurrences, etc.) 

 

Then create an annotation with that segment?

Of if there is no shared metric, you can use nested IF statements to look for eVar1 and event5, in the true, use Event5... in the false, add the next if statement for eVar25 and event27, if true, use Event27... and in the final false (meaning both failed) set a static value of 0.

 

Then you can use that metric in your annotation?
