I'd love to get an email notification if I schedule a report to an FTP
location and it doesn't deliver. Having to manually check the interface
and just seeing "Has Error" manually is annoying.
This would help me assess Bots before I enable that in the SiteCat
interface, since I could see the Bot user-agents in this report. I
shouldn't have to open a ClientCare ticket to get a data feed to see
Bots before I decide to enable Bots filtering in SiteCat on a report
suite.
Re-label the Advanced Scheduler for SiteCatalyst to just "Advanced
Delivery Options" and not "Email Report (Advanced Delivery Options)" -
it's confusing to newbies. Thanks.. J
I agree. The SiteCat 15.3 update for this was way overdue (IMHO) to
manage these things myself within the interface. I might even follow on
with Kevin's idea here with a predictive analytics "what if" tool for
this, so that someone with less time (or less skills) can model the
effects of removing the bots themselves on the fly, on a per-bot segment
basis (whether it's a search bot, or a page scraping bot, or those
magical in-house monitoring IT bots that tend to get applied without
letting the a...
A best practice that I use, to make it easier for analysts to find
reports related to custom variables (traffic \ conversion \ events \
hierarchies) is to put the # of the variable in front of the friendly
name of the variable in the reporting interface. For example, if I have
a traffic variable named "Sub Navigation" I'll set it up in the admin
panel like this (theoretically as s.prop2 \ traffic 2): "2. Sub
Navigation". If I enable a custom variable in the admin panel with a
friendly name, it w...
Simple request: replicate the iPhone code best practices library:
http://blogs.omniture.com/2011/11/03/ios-app-measurement-updates-for-ios-5-and-udid/
- to other mobile SDKs. Makes life a lot easier for my developers (and
me ) Thanks ! - CJ
Similar to what I can do in a traditional business intelligence tool, I
would like to be able to set an alert (or targe) based off a combination
of variables.For example, set an alert to trigger an email if:1) s.prop1
is blank, and2) s.prop2 has a value, and3) s.prop3 has another value -
or 1) s.prop1="blah"and2) s.prop2="ha ha"and3) s.prop3="wazzup"- or so
on. Currently, the Alert (or Target) functionality in SiteCatalyst is
limited to one variable at a time. Having such an ability would mitiga...
The User-agent string should be an out-of-the-box variable for both
Traffic and Conversion (Commerce) use in SiteCatalyst \ DW, Discover or
Insight (and be correlate-able or subrelate-able out-of-the-box as
well). Separate from enabling faster deep tracking across platforms, the
user-agent string is valuable for those of us who perioidically have to
diagnose issues related to site monitoring tools to keep our data
accurate. Having the user-agent out-of-the-box (vs. as a custom tag or a
VISTA rul...
I know I can do this with a Custom Menu. However, I am recommending that
for out-the-box SiteCatalyst, that Operating System gets moved to the
top of the Mobile reports list. Operating System is what gets all the
press (and marketing attention) compared to any other Mobile report. -

I agree on this one - furthermore, the email tool would save the emails
somewhere so that users can look them up later (use case: emails about
new reports, upgrades, training, etc.). The email groups would be based
of the User Groups in the admin tool.
I periodically open Omniture ClientCare tickets - for troubleshooting
purposes, or for specialty analyses - example being mobile or other
devices via the user agent string - just to get 3 additional parameter
values: r parameter (the actual "URL") timestamp user agent string I'd
like those to be made in Data Warehouse, at least. Then I could pull the
data myself without setting up a Data Feed (and opening a ticket, etc.).
An additional nice to have - it would be great to somehow get the image

Currently, the Excel download of report suite settings in the admin
tool, under report suites, is somewhat generic. I'd like to get it to
output more like what you see when you actually go into the admin
interface to change the settings, more user friendly in terms of report
output. I'd also like to see the "friendly names" of the various props \
evars \ events in the report out (vs. just saying enabled), and I'd
furthermore like to ensure all settings for the variables are shown (DUV
\ WUV \ MU...
Agree with Dan on this - this should be some sort of admin console
ability, to see if a report suite has a VISTA rule on it and the name of
the rule. I'd follow on and add a "VISTA Rule Repository" similar to the
Code Generator repository, whereby the details of the VISTA rule (which
is usually a PDF of the business logic of the rule) could reside, making
it easier to keep a record of VISTA rules within SiteCatalyst.
Agreed - anything you do in SiteCat like this (like migrating user
rights to another user, for example) should carry over to Discover as
well as Test+Target.
Hi, I was trying to create a dashboard reportlet for page views for the
current month and another reportlet with the same page views for the
last 3 months so that i can compare the two. However, it would be ideal
for my comparison if i could get the average of the last 3 months or 6
months (based of requirements) instead of the total page views for the
period mentioned. Thanks
Simple recommendation: If I copy one suite to another, ALL the menu
settings should copy over - including the Custom Reports menu button and
its custom reports. Per ClientCare, Custom Reports have to manually be
recreated in a new report suite that was created via copying from an
existing suite.
I'd love to get, in SiteCatalyst 15+ (and perhaps related tools -
Test+Target?) a full-fledged data visualization library to enable me to
make "art out of data" so to speak. Adobe has a few of these, such as
ILOG, and there's an open-source Flash data viz project called Flare -
lots of ideas there to enable all sorts of out-of-the-box data
visualization reporting metaphors, on top of the current graph + chart
library of tools.
As part of this, I'd like to have more than the current number of events
in the funnel. I'd love a full-fledged "funnel visualizer" with,
potentially, twice as many as the current number of events.
I would like to be able to subscribe to a documentation notification
change subscription service - selectable by product - so that I can get
an email as to when there is a change or addtion to a manual, white
paper, or KnowledgeBase article. So, for example, if a manual changes or
if a new KB article appears I'd get an email. I'd be able to select
daily, weekly or monthly as options as to when I'd receive the
notification. Email would be one method; RSS might be another.
As part of this update, the Weekly granularity when doing Data Warehouse
queries should actually show the week's date range, not "Week 1" or
"Week 2" etc.
As part of this, just make a new default variable, s.URL, that would
appear with the Pages report as it's own report, but also be usable in
subrelations as well as correlations. Such a variable would be helpful
in troubleshooting data quality issues.
This is a feature that would be optimal for large enterprise customers
(which I've been in the past), who have to do a lot of internal bill
backs of Billing console data to various internal business units. I
would like the option to have up to, say, 5 or 6 additional meta data
fields (the ability to add 1, 2, 3, etc.) in the Report Suite create
interface. The meta data fields could be populated with internal
departments, stakeholders, etc. and then the data would flow into the
Billing console re...
To make it easier to send around documentation - white papers, manuals,
knowledgebase articles, etc. - please add a sharing "Short Link"
functionality to, well, every bit of documentation in the web
interface.Anything that helps with inbox overload is a good thing.It
would also help for those of us with enterprise portals for digital
analytics, to just be able to easily short link (or perma-link) to a
document, so that people can ensure they have the latest version of a
document at their finger-...
