T. Rowe Price would like to develop a common access control profile per
user group. User groups are defined (loosely) as Administrators, Power
Users and Read Only Users for example. Adding a license to the
Administrators access group is relatively simple as that license has
full access to all directories on the FSU. The other two access groups
are harder to maintain due to the strict definitions required for
appropriate set up of access by dataset. An administrator must create
multiple read only...
Would it be possible to configure a dataset to provide an e-mail
notification when it reaches 100% after log processing and
transformation? We often perform log processing events over the weekend.
This would be helpful for us to understand if processing completed
successfully or if an unexpected issue happened over the weekend,
causing processing not to complete in the expected timeframe.
We would like to have the ability to override the None default for
dimensions to something more meaningful. For example, we have the
following referrer #'s: Page ViewsInternal Referrer213,923External
Referrer35,718None736 We would like to show it as this: Page
ViewsInternal Referrer213,923External Referrer35,718Referrer Not
Available736 We probably can perform a bunch of rename dimensions but
would prefer to leverage the Default option in transformation
configruations.
The Adobe copyright overlays visualizations and pertinent information
when analysts are exporting data to PNG for presentations and reports.
We are not able to move the Adobe copyright text. We would like to
designate a footer area for the Adobe copyright text that always appears
below visualizations and pertinent information on the workspace.
Basically, the footer area is a read only field where visualizations,
tables, etc. can not be placed over. See Incident:101028-000343 for more
information...
When selections are in use from the sidebar panel and the workspace is
submitted to run in compute in background mode, the query re-starts when
the completed workspace (or still running workspace) is opened. It
appears that the selections panel redefines the query when opening the
workspace running in compute in background mode. We would like for the
sidebar panel (selections panel) to understand when a workspace is
running in compute in background mode. Thus, when the workspace has
completed, t...
Currently, you are not able to disable the sidebar panel, only minimize
it. We would like to allow analysts to empower themselves in how they
navigate through the insight client. Providing this flexiblity, would
also provide the administrator with the means to toggle the features on
or off depending upon known issues, reported bugs or client
satisfaction. In addition, the concept of the sidebar panel could be
reserved for power users who are familiar and comfortable with the
insight product. The...
When filters are enabled via the filters panel and the workspace is
submitted to run in compute in background mode, the query re-starts when
the completed workspace (or still running workspace) is opened. It
appears that the filters panel redefines the query when opening the
workspace running and/or completed in compute in background mode, thus
rendinger compute in background functionality obsolete.We would like the
functionality for the sidebar panel (filters panel) to understand when a

When using the compute in background function ... when a metrics legend
is available in the sidebar panel for a particular workspace, the
workspace considers the metric legend as being its own query. This
action causes the workspace to re-start the query, thus rendering
compute in background functionality obsolete. We would like to request a
change to allow the metrics legend to be used as a display only (read
only) thus preventing the workspace from starting the query over again
when the worksp...
This is again something we spoke about at Omniture Summit 2011 but
wanted to put this out here officially for discussion. Since Insight is
a multi-channel product, we have been looking into possible options to
incorporate non-web data as a log source. While this is feasible with
the current technology, the need for the non-web data to be time-based
is a constraint on opportunities and we've had to create false
timestamps and sequencing in order for the data to load properly. We'd
like to see the...
For those customers which use IP GeoIntelligence and the Digitial Envoy
monthly feed, would it be possible to expand upon the dimensions
available? Checking the Digitial Envoy website, there is a new indicator
(for identifying if an ip address is residential or buisnes) available
with their feed and this is something our marketing folks are very
interested in. Also, would zip+4 be available versus just the 5 digit
zip?
We discussed this some at Omniture Summit 2011 but wanted to submit this
officially as an idea for discussion. When changing dates for datasets,
that necessitates the dataset to be completely dropped and reprocessed.
Most of our datasets are now a rolling 13 months of data. None of our
datasets have an end date. When it's time to archive the oldest month,
we need to change the start date of the dataset and it re-processes from
the beginning. Is there a means where the start date could be modifie...
This may be wishful thinking ... Our analysts routinely copy and paste
different visualizations into powerpoint for the purposes of
presentations on their findings to our business. Often times, through
discussion with marketing, analysts toggle back and forth between their
presentation and Insight. Would it be possible to develop a means to
show a multiple visualizations (slideshow) in Adobe Insight? This would
save our analyst time from copy/pasting to other technologies for their
presentations...
Is there a way an administrator can control the order of log sources
being processed into a dataset? For some of our larger datasets, we have
upwards to 30-40 sensors continually processing data real-time. We have
had cases where replication breaks between FSU's (for one reason or
another) and when it's restored, we'd like to be able to control which
sensor data to process first. This would enable us to process data
deemed critical more readily than others for example.
Often times, the client cache gets heavy or our users experience
synchronization issues which require the user to navigate to their local
cache (\user\cache.db) and purge the file. Instead of having the user
navigate to this location, what do you think the feasibility would be to
develop a menu option available in the Insight client to purge this
activity? I would imagine if this was available, it would force the user
out of the client and re-start the application (similar to how upgrades
works)...
I completely agree with you. Some of our analysts workspace folders are
huge and it's difficult for them to find their active workspace or most
recent workspace worked on. This would be a great value add.
Very interesting Craig. We do have different releases. We are running
5.31i (09121111). Let me follow up with Omniture to see what the
differences are. Thanks!
Great suggestion Craig. Our analysts use these graphs extensively but
find options very limiting. They typically end up exporting the data
into excel which provides them with greater flexibilty regarding display
options/features, data inclusion/exclusion, etc.
Interesting Craig. I will need to follow up with Omniture on this.
Omniture told me there was no way to default the sidebar to always
display query completion versus query confidence. Query confidence is
the default here and we want to remove that option altogether.
Our analysts would find tremendous value with this. Most of our
information is consumed in Microsoft Excel and it would be a natural
extension for the worksheet functionality to continue to mimic or be
better integrated with Excel.
I echo everyone's comments. From an Administration perspective, it would
greatly help understanding which profiles users are actively using. We
manage over 20+ profiles here and it may provide leverage for the
platform to reduce the number of profiles or at least reduce the number
of active profiles if we better understood when users where accessing
them.
With Insight v5.3 forward, the sidebar was introduced as a means to help
analysts understand what selections, overrides, etc. they may have while
working with a particular workspace. Focusing on the filters panel, this
panel provides a visual regarding what filters may or may not be applied
for a certain workspace. Our analyst find this panel invaluable and it
was a great addition to Insight. Most of our workspaces have the broken
sesion filter automatically enabled. We have found that upon open...
With the user's ability to submit more than one workspace in compute in
background mode, we have noticed "bottlenecks" with query performance
within certain profiles. Is there an abliity for the administrator to
terminate a workspace(s) which is in compute in background mode if and
when platform performance is degrading?
Currently, we have the capability to e-mail results (excel, png) to our
customer base when the report(s) are 100% complete. Is there a way to
only send an e-mail notification to our customer base that the reports
are complete versus attaching the output? We have built a mechanism for
customers to access reports which are published to our internal wiki and
would like to stop e-mailing the reports but continue to send a
notification that they'reavailable.
We currently use the reprocess field within the Log Processing.cfg and
Transformation.cfg as our means to track who and when a change was made
to the configuration which would trigger a processing event. Is there a
way we could use the variable CN to automatically populate the reprocess
field, ending with the date/time when a particular user saves these
configurations to the server? This feature would provide the
Administrator with a quick view into who saved a change to the server
which trigger...
Currently, the Globe is a great "show" feature during demos. Consumers
find the information interesting but not consumable as the ip address
"clouds", showing concentration of activity by geography, often bleeds
into each other and across state/country boundaries. It's difficult for
consumers to understand what areas have the heavier concentration (or
lack of concentration) and they do not use this feature for analysis or
reporting because of this. Is there a new layer that can be developed
that...
Currently, we manage metric worksheets inside Insight. Our analysts feel
it would be easier for them to manage existing and develop new
worksheets outside of Insight. Our templates are quite extensive and
when modifications are needed, it's cumbersome for them to use the tool
when they could do a simple search/replace function in Microsoft Excel.
Our thought is since Insight can output data to an excel template, why
not provide the ability to import an excel template to support
publishing. I gue...
We would like to see the ability for our Analysts to develop excel
templates and import them into a Metric Worksheet. This would greatly
ease their ability to create/maintain our excel templates. How feasible
would this ability be since InSight can open an excel document/template?
Currently, Insight is able to produce automated reports (with Report
Server) on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. We would like the ability
to produce automated reports on the business day (Monday thru Friday).
One of our largest issues is applying dimensions at the appropriate
level (Visitor, Session, Page View) during analysis. Most of our
dimensions use business names and it's not readily apparent to the user
what level the dimension is built at. We consistently refer to the
Dataset Schema, which provides a fairly intuitive means to understand
what level a particular dimension is associated with. When building
dimensions, we specifically set the parent. Is it possible to set a
color scheme (similar ...
