Restructuring of site sections

Hi community,

my goal is to restructure the dimension "site section" in Adobe Analytics. At the moment, there is mess of many irrelevant site sections and I would like to boil them down to maybe ten main site sections and some sub site sections.

What is the best workflow for that? Is the implementation done in Admin > Report Suites, Admin > Classification Rule Builder or in a combination?

Any help or hint is appreciated!

@adam19 ,

Use classifications and classification importer. The rule builder will be efficient if you have a standardised value taxonomy that does not look to be the case for your scenario. It's unlikely you will benefit from sub-classifications, begin with a simple flat classification; it will be always possible to add more levels in the future if necessary.

The classifications can be set up as per your needs and fantasy 🙂 Here are a few examples:

Site SectionSite Section NEW
productsproducts
shoesproducts
productproducts
all shoesproducts

 

Site SectionSite Section 1Site Section 2
shoesshoes 
shoes womenshoeswomen
shoes menshoesmen

I would suggest creating a classification for Site Sections and upload classification values using SAINT importer.

Hi @khurshid, thank you for your response! Maybe I should be a bit more specific: The website has main site sections, e.g. PRODUCTS and sub site sections e.g. PRODUCTS > SHOES. What do you mean with creating a classification for site sections? Would you assign SHOES as a sub-classification of PRODUCTS?

Hi @andrey-1, thank you for your detailed answer! May I ask a follow up question? What do you mean with "standardised value taxonomy"?

At the moment the site sections get retrieved from the url. This would allow to apply general rules via the Rule Builder, doesn't it?

At what point do you benefit from sub-classifications?

 

If you had e.g. the urls www.test.com/products/shoes

would it make sense to have a "Site section" EXAMPLE MAIN SITE SECTION and a "sub-site section" CATEGORY?

This URL would then be assigned to EXAMPLE MAIN SITE SECTION: products & CATEGORY shoes.
