Removing metrics

[tobyc49922805]

Hi,

I'm currently assisting in the set up of a new report suite and have noticed that by default several metrics i.e. cart additions, checkouts etc, are automatically added to reports i.e. the pages report. Many of these metrics are not relevant to the site we're reporting on/not collecting any data, and are likely to confuse end users. I want to know if there is a simple way to hide Standard metrics from out of the box reports.

Thanks

Hi,

You have two main options to handle:

1)Via the admin console report suite manager tool- fully disable the events from the given report suite.

2)Set any new desired metrics as the default- instructions linked below:

https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/sc/user/t_metrics_set_default.html

Select default report metrics

Steps that describe how to select default metrics at the report level.

1. Run a report.
2. Add the metrics that you would like to save as the default metrics.
3. Click the Add Metrics drop-down list, then select Set as Default.
   The selected metrics are saved as the defaults for this report.

The following information applies to default metrics:

• Default metrics apply across all user accounts, but is per report and report suite. For example, all users viewing a specific report in the same report suite display the metrics set using the preceding procedure.
• If you move between reports, the metrics displayed in the most recently viewed report persist. To display default metrics in that new report, click the Add Metrics drop-down list, then click Show Defaults.
• Clicking Clear Defaults removes the default metrics for that report and reverts them to the original default metrics for that report (Page Views for props, and whatever you have set in Admin Tools for eVars).

Best,

Brian
