how do i merge http and https pages as one ?

Hi Folks,

I am seeing 2 separate pages for http and https and would like to know how to merge this into one single page in my AA Report. Do I need to set up a processing rule, Classification or some sort of conditions?

 What do i need to do please?

    Classification would make you a report where historical data are merged, and that may seems like the least bad option. However, I would consider to fix the data collection (either on-site/TMS or via processing rule) so you do not store the protocol (http/https) as part of your dimension...

    Rule based classification using regular expression may work out best if you already have page URL report and just want to combine http and https version of the page into one  (that is stripping out URL protocol). This will take care of the history data as well.

    Step 1 - Add the Classification using following navigation path

    Admin -> Report Suites -> Edit Settings (for selected report suite) -> Traffic -> Traffic Classifications

    Note - Assuming you are capturing page URL in an in-built traffic (Page, Channel, Server) or a custom traffic variable
    Otherwise, navigate to Conversion -> Conversion Classification


    Step 2 - Set-up the Classification Rule

    Admin -> Classification Rule Builder -> Add Rule Set -> Create Rule Set

    Access the rule set (from the table) just created.

    Select Report Suite & the key (parent) variable

    Add the rule with Regular Expression as Rule Type. Screenshot below:

      Hi Saurabh,

      I'm New to adobe analytics. I was using the Classification Rule Builder today to try and combine our http and https data today as you layed out and activated the rule. Checked to see if it worked after lunch on workspaces and the URLs didn't change. BUT all of the labels changed to numbers as the name for the metric: "name (programs)". I deleted the classification rule builder but it didn't restore the "name (programs)" to appropriate labels/names programs.

      How would I go about restoring these names to their former title name rather than their number title?

      Thank you for your help!

      Hello,

           Classification does not alter parent (key) variable data, but only the associated classified variable. Can you re-check or re-run your report and add a screenshot of the issue?

      Saurabh Kumar.

        Thank you, Saurabh!

        We think it had something to do with our importer - our web director ran the uploaded manually this morning and didn't get any errors. All of the parent data for our name reports were restored to their former titles.

        Thanks again for your quick response!

        If you're willing to update your implementation, you can omit the protocol altogether. I find this valuable, as it also allows me to scrub query strings and anchor tags. This is what I use in an implementation I manage:

        s.eVar1 = window.location.host + window.location.pathname;

        This drastically reduces the number of unique values, and I don't have to worry about the hassle of creating or using classifications.

          If I wanted to go through Launch or through processing rules, how do I set that up? I'm also having issues where page names with different case capitalizations are being separated into different lines in the same page report due inconsistent implementation between mobile and desktop. Example: "Homepage", "homepage", "http://www.mysite.com", and "https://www.mysite.com". This may be a different topic but I'm wondering if I can solve them using the same method?
