There are a lot of reports you can only create in Ad Hoc Analysis, and
the only way to distribute these reports are as static reports via the
e-mail scheduling facility.It would be great if there was a way to share
reports created in "Ad hoc analysis" with "Reporting and Analytics"
users via the reporting and analytics web interface. Possibly the
reports would be uneditable apart from some limited options such as date
range.
Hi Bret, Assuming you are referring to using the existing functionality,
this unfortunately doesn't solve the issue. As you say this would result
in only the new values showing up in the report. However the key point
here is that the persistance of those new values would be affected by
the processing rule set up in step 1. With the existing processing rule
functionality you cannot set up a rule to ignore an incoming eVar value,
only replace it with a blank value. Setting blank values will affect...
Having had Adobe Analytic for a number of years we find ourselves in a
situation where we are close to using all of our 75 eVars. Many of the
eVars are collecting data that we no longer require and we would like to
repurpose these eVars. We can't repurpose the eVars unless we can stop
the current values that are being sent to the eVar. We don't have a Tag
Management System which means we are currently reliant on our IT
department to remove the code that is setting the eVars. IT are very
slow mov...
I'd find it really useful to be able to sub classify a classification
using processing rules. One of the classifications we get passed via our
Exact Target data connector is a delimited string. At the moment I have
to manually upload a sub classification for this. This could be easily
automated if the rule builder could do sub classifications.
Hi Vicky, The crux of the problem is that it is not current possible to
prevent an eVar value being set using processing rules. The reason for
this is related to the persistence of the eVar values... If I want use a
processing rule to prevent an eVar value from being recorded the only
option is to set the eVar to a blank value. However, this prevents the
persistence of any value previously set in the eVar. I want to be able
to completely ignore the incoming eVar value rather than replacing it
wi...
Issue:I'm sure there are many companies like ours that have a old style
"non-TMS" implementations where props and eVars are hard coded into
pages. Where this is the case it can be difficult to change/reclaim
props and eVars that have been implemented particularly if access to the
relevant IT function is difficult to obtain. Idea:I would like to have a
setting in the admin settings that allows me to make break the link
between what is coded in the page and what ends up in the analytics
database. ...
I would find it really useful to be able to isolate the first and last
page view for a session (and therefore understand variable values passed
in that metrics call) which is currently impossible.For instance, in our
data it would make it possible to see what error messages were seen on
the final page view. This could also be powerful when used in
combination with sequential segmentation to see what happened within X
number of views or X number of minutes of an entry/exit.
In siteCatalyst, modifying a shared segment affects all
dashboards/bookmarks/custom reports for all users who have used the
segment. At the moment there is no way to tell where share segments are
being used (or even if they are being used). So we can't make changes
without risking breaking stuff. Please can you consider introducing some
kind of audit capability that will allow us to understand which users
are using which shared segments in which reports?
We're running desperately short on custom event. It would be great if
you could look at increasing the number available again."How on earth
have you used a 100 custom events?" I hear you cry 🙂As a financial
services company we don't have 1 'check out' process; we have around 10
very different application processes (credit card, mortgage, savings,
home insurance etc) which each need there own set of custom events. We
need to allocate around 6 events per process, and immediately we've used
60% of...
When setting up a new connection, I can't make the classification
intergration update the Marketing Channels/details classifications. For
example, with our exact target intergration we would like the message ID
classifications to update the marketing channels detail classifications.
This seems like an obvious gap, and is an significant issue for us as we
make a lot of use of the marketing channels reports.
Scenario:Within a ranked page report I often segment the report to
identify a number of pages that I want to analyse using the site
analysis report. Current issue:The problem with the current interface is
that there is no way to put the pages I've identified in the ranked
report into the site analysis report. Instead I have to manually add
each to site analysis report - which can take a very long time!
Suggested solution:I'd like to see an additional right mouse button menu
option added as per t...
The sequential segmentation in discover is really useful. However, I
want to be able use the functionality to isolate what happened "pre" (or
post) some significant event/action.An obvious use case would be to look
at what users do in visits prior to a purchase (1 visit prior,
everything in the 30 days prior etc). In order to do this I'd need to
exclude the visit in which the purchase occured and all subsequent
visits.The issue with the current functionality is that the sequence has
to sit in a ...
The calculated metric functionally in Discover is really good but it's
missing 3 major things; which are the ability to: Use rolling dates in a
calculated metricFor example: I really want to be able create reports
that show week on week change. Use dimensions in a calculated metricIf
I've created a report using dimensions, I have go through converting all
the dimensions to segments before I can create calculated metrics from
the columns or start from scratch with my calculated metric (both of
wh...
At the moment there is the option to either:always record an eventrecord
an event once per visituse a serialization ID I would like a 4th option
of counting an event once per visit, per a unique value of another
variable (e.g. eVar, s.products) For example, we have a number of
processes that I want to trigger a completion event for, once per visit
per process. My options currently include:Dedicate an event to each
process and set each event to count once per visit. (uses too many
events)Use a si...
I really like the improved chart graphics that's been recently
introduced in to Discover. However, it's pretty frustrating that I can
only plot 15 items/bars in a ranked report. Please can you consider
extending this? Ideally I'd like to be able to plot 100+ items. I'm
guessing that the limitation is because you are concerned about not
being able to display a label for each item? However, for what I want to
use this for this wouldn't be a concern.
What is the issue? Without the appropriate audit/admin tools it’s
virtually impossible to make any significant changes without breaking
something.Where are the gaps?Here are some of the questions I’ve need to
answer but couldn’t:Who uses which shared bookmarks?Who uses which
shared dashboards?What variables are used in which segments?What
variables are used in which dashboard reportlets?What variables are
being used as breakdowns in reports?What variables are being used in
which personal bookmar...
I think this is a good idea; in general I think the audit capabilities
need looking at. For instance, in addition to the segment/calculated
metric issue mentioned, there's also no way to understand what variables
are being used in dasboards, or who's accessing which dashboards. At the
moment in a large scale orgnisation like the one I work for, it's almost
impossible to make changes to the implementation with out breaking
things!
There is currently no way to audit the use of shared
dashboards/bookmarks. Consequently we have 100+ shared
dashboards/bookmarks and I have no idea which I can delete 😞 Also, I
would like an admin control to be able to prevent users from sharing
dashboards/bookmarks - a lot of our users do not have enough knowledge
of the web analytics data to be creating dashboards that could be seen
and used through out our organisation. I want only 'approved' users to
be able to share data in this way.
If it was possible to alert on calculated metrics the alerts would be
much more useful. Application volumes go up and down depending on so
many factors, so it's difficult to set a threshold. Application
conversion is pretty consistant on our site, so a drop in conversion
gives a much better indication of an issue.
