To directly answer your question, you can absolutely set an event without having to use an eVar.However, the reporting in your post should be possible through segmentation/a calculate metric without using an event or an eVar at all if you've got your implementation right. Whether you are capturing the 'contactussubmitted' as a page view or as a custom link tracking call you should be passing an identifier that you could use to segment on to create this ('page' [name] on a page view, or 'custom l...

Great!

Re: Allow for more than 400 rows of data in Analytics Workspace A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Hi Jen, great to hear you are still working on the export Just wondered if you are still considering changes to the format of the export to make it easier to work with?(as per your comment in the following thread: https://forums.adobe.com/ideas/10152 )

Re: Time Between Events Calculation Ability A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

...by the way, time between different places on our website is something people always ask about so it would be great if Adobe came up with something!

Re: Time Between Events Calculation Ability A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

I'd actually like to be able to get at time between any two hits.I'd rather not be limited to just where we have implemented events as use cases will come up where we don't have events set. e.g. How long did it take to get from step 1 to step 2 of the application process?It would also be good it the fallout report showed average time between touchpoints.

Re: Make Analysis Workspace auto-conditional formatting work better A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

One of the problems we've ran into in the past is where a particular data set has some outliers (e.g. one really high value). The auto formatting then seems to use this to set the limits for the formatting. It then doesn't show the nuances for the majority of values which are in a much narrower range.

Re: Make it possible to segment on the hit of the exit page and entry page A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

That's really useful - I couldn't figure out how to do this with segments but this works really well!I also found a work around for isolating the first page view:Use processing rules to set an event every time the page URL existedserialize the event to record once per visitThis means the event only gets recorded on the first page view (all other attempts to set are ignored due to the serialization). The event can then be segmented on.Not sure if there was a pure segmentation way around the first...

Ability to break the connection between segments (or calculated metrics) A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

The centralized management/linking of segments and calculated metrics is great for speedy maintenance, but there are some key scenarios where I really wish I could break the connection to the master segment/calculated metric (e.g. so changing a segment no longer updated previously linked versions of the segment used else where).An obvious scenario is where a panel is copied as a starting point for new panel - In this case any changes to the calculated metrics or segments in the new panel also af...

More 'Dynamic Columns' needed! (current limit is 5 for normal dimensions) A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

For most normal dimensions you can only generate dynamic columns for the top 5 items. 5 is a very small number (I needed 8 the other day and was stuck!) - is there any chance of increasing this? If there are performance worries, even a small increase to 10 or 20 would be very useful! The feature can be seen here: Dynamic Columns In Analysis Workspace Freeform Tables | Adobe Analytics - YouTube

Calculated metrics builder: Add 'Ctrl + Drag' to copy A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Being able to hold ctrl and 'drag' to copy an element is a really useful time saving feature that works almost everywhere except the calculated metrics builder.This is particularly bizarre given ctrl + drag does work in the very similar segment builder It would be very useful if the calculated metrics builder was in line with other areas - please can you consider this?

Re: Add Undo feature to Metric and Segment Builders A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Literally had this issue today. Accidentally deleted a container which contained loads of logic - no undo, no way to get it back

Re: New Sub-Hit Segment Container A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

I haven't checked but I think list vars suffer in a similar way. If they do they should be considered along aside this.

Re: Migrating from Adobe Mobile SDK v4.x? Ask your migration questions here A_Wathen - Adobe Experience Platform SDKs

Hi there, just started looking at migration. Are you able to explain why Lifecycle metrics now have to be manually implemented where they were automatically collected under v4.x?

Re: Organize Workspace Metrics & Dimensions in Folders A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Unfortunately, tags do not help users explore the content that is available to them.If the user already knows what tag to search for then it will let them quickly find content. However, if the user wants to browse what projects are available to them they can be stuck scrolling thru a long list of projects trying to find something relevant.A folder structure would aid navigation in this scenario.

Re: Annotations (including Calendar Events) in Analysis Workspace A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

I'd really like to be able to tie calendar events to specific dimensions/metrics (where appropriate).For example, in the old reporting/SiteCatalyst interface if we logged a calendar event because something significant affected our application start event, the calendar event would show up everywhere - it would be great if it only showed in a when someone was using the application start event.

Re: Do processing rules get processed before or after items bucketed in low traffic? A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Pretty certain that processing rules get processed before the uniques limit is applied to a variable otherwise things that don't have the uniques limit applied (e.g. data warehouse, data feeds etc.) would have some serious issues.FYI - don't know if you are aware but the default uniques limit is 500K but you can get this raised to 1 million just by contacting Client Care (and if you ask your Adobe account team very nicely they might let you take it above that).

Re: Creating a segment for an event that occurs on the last page of a visit A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Unfortunately, I don't believe what you are after can be done for the reason that you outlined (exit page is session level, therefore there is no way to isolate the final page view)But you can vote for this idea that would make it possible...Make entries & exits metrics available in segments

Workspace: Automatically 'tag' components and projects A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Understanding where components are being used is essential to our ability to efficiently maintain and improve our workspace set up.As we are still waiting for Analytics on Analytics ( see Analysis Workspace: We need analytics on Analytics! ) one of the ways we have worked around this is to 'tag' segments, calculated metrics, and workspace project with the components they contain.This makes segment, metrics and project searchable by the components they contain giving us a level of traceability n...

Target: Enterprise level workflow/roles/permissions A_Wathen - Adobe Target

Given Target's capability is similar to that of a TMS such as Adobe Launch (i.e. the ability to inject code into a website) I have always been surprised by the comparative lack of control over workflow/roles/permissions.Given Adobe has recognized the need to up it's game in this space from an Adobe Launch perspective, please can you consider mirroring this approach for Target?As it stands it is difficult to separate out responsibilities in a meaningful way given the limit roles and comparative l...

Re: Enable Virtual Report Suites in Data Warehouse API A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Hi Bret, now the pressure of the Adobe EMEA Summit has passed I just thought I'd reach out to see if this was still in your plans?

Re: Analysis Workspace - Folders A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Just had a random thought and wondered if the below might work as an interim solution...I'm assuming most people have come across the idea of creating a 'contents' Workspace project which just contains hyperlinks to other Workspace projects - this can be set as a landing page for users to avoid them seeing the default workspace project list and is another way to organise projects/aid navigation.I wondered whether this concept could be extended to create a hierarchy of 'contents' projects which w...

Does Launch automatically handle linkTrackVars & linkTrackEvents? A_Wathen - Adobe Experience Platform Launch

Does anybody know if Adobe Launch automatically handles the setting of linkTrackVars and linkTrackEvents for s.tl() calls?I thought the Adobe Analytics Extension might have some way of handling this by couldn't see anything that told me either way.I could write some custom code to be executed, but was unsure if this was the intended/recommended way in which this should be handled?Any help much appreciated!

Re: Virtual Report Suite Curation: Impact on user created components prevents use A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Client Care have confirmed this as a bug. If anyone wants to ask client care about the status the Bug ID is: AN-175616...there may be some light at the end of the tunnel!

Re: Virtual Report Suite Curation: Impact on user created components prevents use A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Finally got some time to go thru this in detail. As far as I can work out, the users experience does not match what is described in the help article: VRS and project curationIf it did work as described I think it would be quite usable. However, the key different is that if the VRS is curated, non-admins cannot access the segments and calculated metrics that they own.This is in contradiction to the help article that states non-admins should be able to access "Non-curated VRS components that the r...

Re: Make 'Previous Page' & 'Next Page' Dimensions in Workspace A_Wathen - Adobe Analytics

Despite the excellent flow reports in Workspace it is still incredibly useful to have previous page name available as a dimension.Therefore, wherever I have worked it has been pretty standard to use the Get Previous Value JS plugin to create a 'previous page name' dimension. However, the plugin has it's flaws, particularly where users cross from one domain to another preventing the cookie used being read - which frustratingly happens quite a lot across our sites!It would be fantastic if Adobe co...

Re: Adobe Analytics Extension : Add plugin support A_Wathen - Adobe Experience Platform Launch

I wondered whether some of the Adobe Analytics Plugins should be rebuilt more generically as part of the core launch extension.A lot of the functionality/data output provided by these plugins could be equally be used to provide data to other tools implemented through launch.Having them as an "analytics only" plugin doesn't really make sense to me in the new Launch worldThoughts?
