Unable to See Dimensions, Segments, or Date Range Components While Creating Calculated Metrics

I’m running into a bit of a head-scratcher in Adobe Analytics Workspace. While creating a calculated metric, I’m only able to see and use metrics there’s no visibility of dimensions, segments, or any date range options in the builder.

Is this expected behavior? Or am I missing a setting or permission somewhere?

I’m creating the metric via the Components > Calculated Metrics section. Ideally, I’d like to build something more dynamic using segments or contextual dimensions, but those don’t show up at all in the interface.

Would love to know if:

- This is a limitation of the calculated metric builder itself?

- There’s a workaround or advanced setting I should be aware of?

- I should instead be building this within a Freeform table context?

Appreciate any insights or hacks from the community.

Hi @prernago2  are you in Adobe Analytics Foundation package?

 

It may be a limitation with your license. Please check with your team. You are probably not seeing this only because of Adobe Analytics license or permission issue.

Hi @prernago2  It looks like you dont have permission to create calculated metrics.

 

Please get in touch with your admin who manages the permission. 

 

While looking at your screen shot, i can see only the metrics its available that you can use.

 

Here is the right panel, where you can see metrics, dimension, segments etc

 

 

Let me know if this not fixes your problem.

 

Thanks,

Bala

The most likely answer is that your company has the "foundation" sku for Adobe Analytics. Each of the different skus has different features (with the more expensive ones having more features). If you have the foundation one, then you can only make "calculated metrics" not "advanced calculated metrics". Based on what you're seeing and what this page says, it sounds like that's the case.

Yes @mandygeorge 

 

Same thought with me also as I mentioned above. Thanks for the clarification.
