This is good to have. Dealing with users and their password isssues has been a hassle. The workaround I've used is to always use the same generic password when setting up the user account, always use the same Welcome Email message that includes that generic password, and force all new accounts to change password on next login. But you're right, that should automatically be handled without me having to do that.

Processing Rules Tester vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

When setting up processing rules you are not always sure youwill get the desired outcome, especially with suites that contain many rules. It would be great if there was some functionality to run the processing rules against a test string to see if the desired outcome is what I was expecting. For example, I would be able to enter my value somewhere, and see what it would look like after all of my processing rules ran. Currently it is way too difficult to do any real testing to ensure the desired ...

Re: Make bot filter a report and/or a segment vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

Couldn't agree more. The current bot report is a great idea, but I would prefer it was done in two stages. First enabling the report would just let you identify all of the bot traffic, then we should have the option to filter out that traffic. Identifying if we want it filtered after it gets filtered is a little bit of a backwards approach. The ability to identify our bot traffic and know before hand the impact of filtering it out before we take that step would be a great addition to have.

Add getValOnce functionality in processing rules vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

In processing rules, I woud like to see an option when setting up a condition to preform the action if the value of a variable has changed since the last time it was recorded. So for example only copy the value of prop1 to eVar1 if the value of prop 1 has changed since the last time it was recorded during that visit. I understand that processing rules cannot read cookies, so it would need to go back and look at the previous hits in that visit to check for the value. This basically will give us t...

Ability to force a variable to lower case vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

I would like there to be a way to force variables to lower case from the admin console. There are a couple ways to make it happen. When setting up a prop or an eVar there could be the option to "force all to lowercase" so I wouldn't see ford, Ford and FORD in the report. This could also be handled by a change to the processing rules as well. There could be the "force to lowercase", "force to uppercase", or "force to propercase" options for any variable. I prefer the processing rules method, but ...

Purge all data from prop when it becomes reused vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

I would like to ability to purge all of the values from a prop when I want to repurpose it. For example, if I capture time of day in prop1, but later decide that prop1should be current url, It would be nice if all data that prop has captured could be purged so there are no problems when viewing that prop overtime. I understand that this could be vary powerful so it should be something that I would have to call client care to do.

Re: Ability to Sort Metric Reports in Reverse Order vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

Also I would love to sort by the the metric itself, from low to high instead of the default of high to low.

Re: Be able to enable GeoSegmentation from admin console vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

Agreed. This should be turned on for all report suites by default. If I want it off I can call Client Care to have them turn it off, but it should always be on when a new report suite is created.

Add the option to upload Data Sources files through the browser and not only using FTP vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

When uploading a SAINT file we have the ability to use FTP or a upload the file right from the browser. When uploading a Data Sources file there is no browser import option, there is only FTP. A browser import option would be nice. I mean like really really nice.

EnterpriseTV Videos Should Be Free vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Experience Cloud

The EnterpriseTV videos should be free. This would only help customer understanding of the product, and would lead to an increased usage and less frustration from users.Omniture can still charge for one on one personalized training through Omniture University, but the videos should be free.

Image request length should be in the debugger vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

Instead of having to rely on other hacks to see the length of the image request, it would be nice if this was included in a standard debugger view.

Change chart type of reportlet directly in dashboard. vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

It would be nice to be able to change the chart type in a dashboard reportlet after it has been added. If you want to change the chart type you need to remove the reportlet and re-add it to the dashboard with the chart you want.

Move Notes to the top of reports vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

Can the note section on each report be moved to the top of the report? It is buried at the bottom and it is not easily seen when reports are opened. It can easily be put right inline with the report configure options.

Remove s_code version number from page code vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

Whenever there is a s_code update the users need to change the code version number that appears in the page code to remain consistent and that is not needed. In fact the code version number is not needed in the page code at all. It is in the s_code file and can be seen in the debugger so having it in the page code is redundant. I have many sites that use v21 or better s_Code files, but the page code still says v15. Can you please remove the version number from the page code comments?

Tell users that they have the ability to reset their locked account. vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

When a user gets their account locked out from entering too many incorrect passwords they have the ability to unlock their own account. The problem with that is they have no idea they can do that!! A simple request of a new password (the forgot your password link) will reset any locked account. I get so many emails about users asking me to reset locked accounts, that it is really becoming very time consuming. Please please please add some language to the 'you are locked out' message that will gi...

Online Version of Solution Design Document vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

In the Admin console it would be nice to have an online version of a Solution Design document, or somewhere in the Traffic Variables/Conversion Variables/Success Events sections to add specific notes to where each variable is set and any notes applicable to that specific variable.

Single Year Chart Option vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

Right now if I want to see metrics trended over a multiple year period, the chart that is displayed starts at the first date and extends to the last date, with only a single line on the chart. What I would like to see is a chart that is a single year in length, but with multiple years shown on top of one another.This is what the chart looks like now when spanning multiple years. One single line.This is the option I would like to have, one line per year. This makes it easier to see the year over ...

I agree more needs to be done with Mobile, but the Excel Client does not have any mobile data. Neither does Data Warehouse.

Release HBX as a free tool to compete with Google Analytics vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Experience Cloud

Even though SiteCatalyst is the more powerful, preferred web analytics solution, the HBX tool is still a decent tool. There is no reason to completely pull the plug on it. Maybe strip out a few of the features to make it a bit simpler of a tool and then release it as a free web analytics product so it will compete with Google Analytics and the other free offerings out there. This may help Omniture gain some of the overall analytics market share. If a user is using a free product from Omniture, t...

Variable names should be included in Data Warehouse breakdowns vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

In Data Warehouse the variable names should be next to each breakdown item. Without it you can end up with something that looks like this: In all other dropdowns you get the actual variable name next to it, like this:

Better error notification for Data Warehouse vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

When a Data Warehouse report fails we are not notified. We have to check the Request Manager at random times to try to see if it is still processing or if it failed. And when it did fail, we are not told why. A better error message in the UI (and sent in an email) would be useful. Also an automatic resubmit of the report if the error was not due to something on my end would be good. I obviously want the report, so I should not have to resubmit it myself.

Describe Calculated Metrics in question mark pop up vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

For some metrics there is a small question mark that appears next to them that gives a description of that metric. This should be an option when creating a Calculated Metric. We should be able to give a description to exactly what the new metric is.

More customization options when generating a s_code file vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

When generating a new s_code file, there should be options to add in some custom elements. I should be able to just click a check box and have the Media Module added to the code. This could be expanded to to include some of the 'Omniture approved' plug-ins. For example I could click a button saying I want the Time Parting plug-in, and then which props/eVars I want to use with it. Then when the s_code file is generated the plug-in is added and those variables are now enabled and named properly.

Additional extensions should be added to the s.linkDownloadFileTypes variable by default vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

When a s_code file is generated from the admin console, the s.linkDownloadFileTypes variable is populated as:s.linkDownloadFileTypes="exe,zip,wav,mp3,mov,mpg,avi,wmv,doc,pdf,xls"yet when Client Care generates the file, that line is:s.linkDownloadFileTypes="exe,zip,wav,mp3,mov,mpg,avi,wmv,pdf,doc,docx,xls,xlsx,ppt,pptx" It should be the same no matter who generates the file. There should also be the Open Office file types included.

Time Parting plug-in should be replaced with t= value vabeachkevin1 - Adobe Analytics

In every image request the time value is being passed in (t=). This should eliminate the need for the Time Parting plug-in. There should be a way to take this variable and parse it out a bit and get the same information that the plug-in provided.
