Hi Flo,Yes, this would be a problem if your expiration settings are
really set to "1 week" and "90 days". Those are probably not the
settings that you currently have though. I would just check in the admin
console to make sure the expiration timeframe on these two variables are
similar.But in evaluating your screenshots in response to Arun, it looks
like your problem is scenario 2. Your marketing channel processing rules
are tagging traffic as "Affiliate Marketing" when there isn't a tracking
co...
5-10 years ago there were plenty of reasons to use props (eVars didn't
have pathing capabilities), but as Adobe Analytics has matured over
time, most organizations are now reporting pretty exclusively using
eVars instead of props. In fact, it used to be a best practice to
duplicate all eVar variables into prop variables, but that is no longer
recommended, as it creates 2 separate reports for each variable and
generally just leads to more confusion.Because props don't persist,
which limits their ...
Ah man... going for a breakdown and finding "unspecified" is always the
worst, right? The first things I would check are...1. Are your variable
expirations for tracking code and marketing channels the same? If your
tracking code is set to expire after a week, but the marketing channel
doesn't expire for 90 days, then 2 weeks after someone clicks through an
affiliate campaign, the marketing channel would still be "Affiliate
Marketing" but the tracking code would have expired by then. If this is
t...
For scenario 1:Are you building the segment to contain HITS where
tracking code contains "emaildd", or is it VISITS or VISITORS. I suspect
that your segment was built to contain visitors with "emaildd", which
means if a person came to your site at any point with the "emaildd"
tracking campaign, their entire visitor history will be included in your
segment, and you'll be showing any other tracking codes that they've
also interacted with, both before and after the "emaildd" tracking
code.Building ...
Visit and Visitor based segments can and should give you very different
results. A visit based segment will only include the visit where the
defined action takes place, where a visitor based segment will include
every single visit for a visitor where the defined action takes
place.(both before, during, and after the order)So if I am a visitor who
orders on my 3rd visit, a segment that shows visits with orders will
only show the interactions in my 3rd visit, but a segment that shows
visitors with...
Could the above scenario be addressed with the addition of 2 more
optionsWide or Narrow - "Narrow" picks the first A and first B, while
"wide" picks first A and last BFirst, Last or All - This option is only
available if "narrow" is selected, and defines which instance of the
sequence I'm interested in viewing
Additionally, it would be nice to add a toggle in the VRS settings that
would give the option of "auto including new components created in the
parent RS" or "auto excluding new components created in the parent RS".I
would select "auto exclude" If I'm using this VRS to serve only a select
few components to a specific set of users, but I would use "auto
include" if I only wanted to exclude a few specific components, but I
want all new components to be included in the VRS by default.
For us, we use VRS component customization purely for renaming
components, and not for excluding/including specific components. So it
would be nice to have a checkbox that auto-includes everything in the
VRS.
There are two use cases for VRS component customization:1: Specifying a
smaller set of core components to be available in a VRS (auto-exclude
anything new)2: Removing specific components that might not be
applicable to a VRS (but wanting everything else included)By default,
any new component created in the parent report suite is placed in the
Exclude bucket, this works great for use case #1, but for use case is
#2, we constantly have to be going into the VRS settings to move new
components from ...
In all the documentation, I don't ever see it mentioned that you can
upload the country variable in a data source file. Has anyone tried
including country in a data source file to see what happens (not as an
eVar, but with "country" as the header)? I know that the country is
based on IP address, so it makes sense why this might not work, but just
thought I'd check.
Yes, the device co-op is only available in NA, but in a summit session
this week they mentioned that this same functionality is on the roadmap
for individual report suites (stitching visitors based on various
possible ID's)
DO NOT use s.visitorID for cross device tracking unless all of your
visitors are authenticated throughout their entire experience. If
someone comes to your site unauthenticated (MCID) and then you switch
them to s.visitorID once they log in, they will appear as a new visitor
at that point, which means any persistent variables that analytics had
attached to those users will break at that point.Rather than using
s.visitorID, take a look into the Adobe Device Co-op for linking
cross-device - Overvi...
If you're reporting on "Unique Clicks" in DCM, this will only report one
click per user, regardless of whether that person clicked multiple
times. Where adobe will report a new visit each time that unique user
clicks through on a campaign. This difference in reporting methodology
ihas the potential to cause the inconsistency you're seeing. Especially
if this is a retargeting campaign, and the same users will be seeing the
same ads multiple times. Is DCM showing more unique clicks than Adobe is
s...
Hey Raphael,Event serialization would help with events, but if you're
trying to see just the first time that a specific page is seen, you
would have to be firing/serializing a custom event for each page that
you want this metric for.Instead, you can build a segment for each
page/event that you're interested in seeing the first interaction. It
would look something like this. Make sure to select "after sequence"
(highlighted in red circle). Also, this segment will only show the first
time that the...
Go up to "Components", then "Date Ranges". Create one date range for
Current MTD and another for Last Year MTD.For Current MTD, set the
rolling dates to: START: start of current month END: end of current
dayFor Last Year MTD, set the rolling dates to: START: start of current
month minus 12 months END: end of current day minus 365 daysAnd now you
have two dynamic date ranges that you can pull into any project for year
over year MTD.
We've implemented an eVar that on each href click collects a
concatenation of current URL + destination URL + link text/title/name,
then we split those out into 3 classifications with the classification
rule builder. So I can easily break down all links driving to and from
any specific page on our site.
Unfortunately, I haven't come up with a segment that you can apply to
any page and have it work without first specifically identifying that
page in the segment.If you use your method of "page exists" that will
only capture the first page of their first visit during your specified
timeframe. So that segment will work if you're pulling unique visitors
sitewide, but if you're pulling reports by page, and that first page
view isn't on the specific page that you are looking at, then it won't
show up ...
Hey Jordan,Are there any redirects that happen before the user reaches
their final page? If the campaign has a vanity url or go-code that
redirects before a page load occurs, then the referring domain will
usually be lost at this stage, as the landing page will think it was the
redirect that is the referrer, rather than the original referring
domain.Similarly, if your banner/display ads are directing users to a
redirect, the referrer will probably be "typed/bookmark" too unless your
redirect is ...
If you are using virtual report suites, then in the VRS admin, you can
select which metrics, dimensions, and segments will be available in each
virtual report suite. I don't know of a way to do this in workspace for
non-virtual report suites though.
Hello Hemath,It really depends on how your marketing channels are set
up. But ideally, your marketing channels should collect campaign level
data and generally would be set up in the following way.1. If any
tracking code/campaign exists, capture and use as the marketing channel
(includes search, social, display, etc.. anything with a tracking
code)2. If no tracking code, then collect search engine or referring
domain and use as marketing channel3. If no tracking code, search
engine, or display, ...
Welcome to the forum Max!Though this would seem like a pretty easy
question... the solution isn't so much You need to build a segment that
shows the first hit for that page for the selected time period, but
excludes all sequential hits. This is what it will look like. Notice
that the exclude segment only excludes after the sequence (red circle).
And instead of "contains home" you'll probably want to do "equals (your
page)".Once you have this segment in place, you should be able to break
down uni...
No problem Edison. You'll just need to include an "exclude visitors"
container. So if I wanted to see visitors who only click the CTA button
two times (no more, no less), my segment would look like this.---
Include Visitors who ---Click CTA ButtonTHENClick CTA
Button------------------------------AND--- Exclude Visitors who ---Click
CTA ButtonTHENClick CTA ButtonTHENClick CTA
Button------------------------------So include visitors who have clicked
twice, but exclude those who have clicked 3 or mo...
Build a sequential segment that shows visitors who meet your criteria,
and "then" meet your criteria again. Duplicate your criteria in the
segment as many times as you would like to see that behavior. So the
below would show visitors who have clicked the browse-hero-cta at least
twice.
Building a segment that filters by hits with greater than 100 visits
will show how many visitors who have been to the site 100+ times have
seen each page, but what I think the OP is trying to do is see how many
pages have received more than 100 visits. Because visits are attached to
visitors and not pages, I don't know that there is a way to build a
segment based on page behavior rather than visitor behavior. The only
way to do this might be to pull a pages report and scroll down until the
pages...
Visit expiration seemed like a great idea back before multi-tabbed
browsing became so popular, but now that its common to have 20 tabs open
in a browser, all of them being juggled back and forth or temporarily
put on hold. Expiring variables at the visit seems like a great way to
under-attribute success.If someone searched for "adidas", then added a
pair of shoes to their cart from the search results, then switched back
to something they're working on in a different tab, but then returns an
hour...
So... I know this answer is over a year late, but you if you want to
undo events that have previously been uploaded, you can upload negative
numbers in your data source file and those negatives can cancel out the
previously uploaded events.
So I just barely finished testing this by uploading transactionIDs to
200 users for whom we recorded multiple transactionIDs, and 100% of the
time the transactionID data was tied back to the first visit where the
transactionID existed. Which is actually ideal for our specific use case
Hi Jen, I guess that helps much of the time, but only if you've dragged
the entire dimension over onto the freeform table. If you drag only
specific values from the dimension into the freeform table, then the 'i'
icon does not appear (as shown in the original screenshot above).Also,
having the 'i' is great, but when so many reports get passed around as
screenshots or in powerpoints, the ability to mouse over the 'i' isn't
available in those situations.
In all of Adobe's documentation, they state that TransactionID's must be
unique. But they also state that if multiple TransactionID's are
uploaded during the same visit, the snapshot that will be saved is of
the last TransactionID uploaded.So my question is, if we upload the same
TransactionID across multiple visits. When we upload offline events to
that TransactionID, will the events be tied back to multiple visits, and
if this is the case, would uploading $25 of revenue end up showing up as
$1...
