Level 3

Processing Rules are pretty powerful (at least have ability to destroy our data) and therefore there was a point in time when those were only allowed for admins with a specific certification.

But since then the UI didn't improve much (I think that just the original limit of 50 rule sets per Reporting Suite was increased and extra condition with a rule action was added).

But we still have major issues with using Processing Rules - namely:

  • the UI is cluttered and slow
  • there is no way to properly debug (only having a staging suite to test those and a production one to copy the tested rules to, autocomplete in combo-boxes also helps a bit, but that is still insufficient)
    • contextData that is not mapped is lost with no reporting around this
  • ordering doesn't make much sense - rather some form of relations in between particular rules might make sense
  • when tracking many different properties into one Reporting Suite, some sort of grouping would be helpful
  • relation to Mobile Services is a bit weird
  • some search/filter feature would also help (now we use opening of all rule sets and then CTRL+F)

Is there any hope for improvement?
