Annotation in Analytics

[Kate_Leo]

Is there functionality with in Adobe Analytics to log annotations? Specifically creating an annotation and having it show somehow as a warning on charts showing over time. Have a few instances where this would be critical for historic records.

Hi @Kate_Leo ,

Can you please check Calendar Events feature in Adobe Analytics?

Thank you!

Hi @Ishan_Sinha_ I did go in and complete a Calendar Event, set correct dates, color visuals and shared with everyone once saved. What I am not seeing is that newly saved event represented in an area or line graph for the time frame needing the visually annotation. Have I missed a step here?

Are you trying to use calendar event in workspace or Report and Analytics(R&A)?

Calendar events cannot be used within workspace as of now.

If a user would like to access a calendar event, they would need to follow the path below:
Login to Analytics >> Components >> Calendar Events >> Search for the calendar event you would like to use >> Check the check box for "On Report".

Once user checks the "On Report" for a calendar event, that event will be visible on the Site metric reports which has the graph with dates.

Hi @vibhatna Yes I am trying to view a calendar event in analytics workspace.

[Kate_Leo]

As the creator of the event I am not presented with the checkbox for 'on report' is this a bug?

[vibhatna]

Calendar events is not available for workspace as of now. It can only be used with Site metrics reports like Key metrics, Page views, Visits, UVs etc. in R&A.

For workspace there is no such feature available as of now. 

[vibhatna]

As you are owner of the event, you do not need On report option to be checked. You can see that calendar event you created on Site metrics reports.

[Kate_Leo]

Understood. Thank you!

You can make use of Calendar events ; https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/analytics/components/t-calendar-event.html

Also, In Workspace you can add in some free text as a visualization or panel type.  Which can help explain what's going on.  Same with Dashboards.  Regular reports do have a note section at the bottom.
