One additional point: it may be worth "seeding" the values using
Classification Importer (e.g., make a sheet with all of the values from
$1 to $100000 and upload it) rather than the Classification Rule Builder
approach. If you have decimals and are willing to forego that level of
precision, use Classification Rule Builder to discard the decimal then
"sub-classify" using Classification Importer as laid out here.
I've used a very similar approach to make Calculated Metrics based on
Survey scores that have a possible range of 0 to 100; have to admit that
I didn't come up with the additional step of converting into Units /
Tens / Hundreds, which will save me some tedium next time!

Some Background My organisation migrated to Adobe Launch from Adobe DTM
in 2019. There are typically 3-4 people working on the same Property at
any given time. In DTM, our "rule" for editing was: do not edit any
Resource (Rule, Data Element, etc.) where "Status" is "Unapproved" In
essence, this enforces the idea that an Approved change to a Resource
can only come from a single Editor at a time. Adobe Launch When we
started working with Adobe Launch, we assumed there was no longer any
need for "m...
1 Bottom LineI am considering implementing a "noscript"-style data
capture method to boost the rate at which Adobe Analytics data is
recorded on my organisation's websites. The basic idea is If Adobe
Launch fails to load (i.e. the _satellite object cannot be detected),
formulate and trigger an Adobe Analytics server call with the most
pertinent pieces of data (Page Name, URL, Transaction ID). I'm
interested in thoughts around this:Has anyone implemented anything
similar?If not, why not?Does anyo...
In that case, @adlik, I think there are two parts to what you could
consider doing:If it were me, I would capture the "real" timings on the
initial page load, event if it meant potentially delaying the initial
Page View call to wait for the browser to make them available in
`performance.timing`For the "dynamic" page views (i.e. those subsequent
ones), I would work with the Devs to define at least two timing
events:"Navigation" - i.e. the point at which the user triggers an
action that prompts a ...
jchuck5612 - notwithstanding the fact that installing
Add-ons/Extensions is not always possible in corporate environments, I
really recommend the Redirector plug-in that I wrote about in this
thread.Apart from the cool "feature" that it enables of being able to
easily switch between multiple LAUNCH environments in Firefox (by
maintaining an entry for each environment that you have), it has a
"Notifications" feature that pops up when a redirect has occurred:
you'll never waste time wondering whe...
Hi adilk,I wouldn't recommend any longer the use of Adobe's
performanceTiming plugin: in my view, the "lost" measurements (you will
miss almost every single "exit page", i.e. the last page of the visit)
are too important to ignore.A better approach, in my opinion, is to
write your own Data Element that calculates the measurements you want
from the performanceTiming object (with reference to "navigationStart")
and assigns these values to Events. This sounds more complicated that
using the provid...

Which wildcard operators are supported in Segment Builder?Looking
through the posts returned by this search and having done some
experimentation, I suspect the asterisk (*) character is the only one
(i.e. "matches zero or more of any character").However, my reason for
asking is that the Comparison Operators for Segment help article makes
reference to "wildcard operators" (in the plural) and the concept of
"globbing" (which is much more extensive than the simple asterisk).
Use "Redirector"The best solution that I've found is an Extension/Tool
named "Redirector", which can be seen at this address: RedirectorThis
works for me both in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. I understand
that this may be made to work in Microsoft Edge; however, that is
outside my abilities. Use CasesI have been using this tool on a site
that has DTM (the precursor to LAUNCH) implemented in order to test a
new LAUNCH deployment.Once my organisation has migrated from DTM to
LAUNCH, I will us...
GigazelleI've had a response from Adobe Client Care, and they've
clarified something that was incorrect in my original post: what Firefox
is proposing to block by default is "Third-Party Cookies"; this is a
different setting with the "Content Blocking" configuration of Firefox
(screenshot below).This policy appears to have no impact at all on the
functioning of Adobe DTM, Adobe Analytics, and Adobe Target (as far as
maintaining "Visit" and "Visitor" linking of activity goes).
@mikewebguyThere's one correction I would like to make to what you've
written: Mozilla's blocking is already on by default in Private Mode;
this has been the case for a long time in Firefox now.The concern here,
and I think it's borne out by this blog post from Mozilla (look for the
comment "release it by default early 2019"), is that Mozilla is going to
bring that setting out of Private Mode and into "normal" browsing
mode.Since that blocks, for example, Adobe DTM, this will mean that all
Firef...
HI Richard,I responded to what I think is related question today.In
summary, I think that v65 of Firefox (Jan 2019) will block by default
Adobe Target (amongst a lot of other things).I'm trying to find someone
who can (hopefully!) disprove my conclusion or affirm it and then tell
me what to do next.Did you get any more info?Barry
Hi Christian,SummaryI've done some reading on this and some testing, and
I'm 99% certain that v65 of Firefox scheduled for release on 29th Jan
2019 will block, by default, Adobe DTM (and, therefore, all Digital
Analytics and Marketing tags that an organisation delivers using DTM).My
reasoning is below; I would be very grateful if someone is able to tell
me that I my conclusions are incorrect.In summary, my conclusions
are:Firefox v65 will block Adobe DTM by default (and all content
delivered by ...
GigazelleDo you have any update on your findings given the latest
release of Firefox?As per this Mozilla blog post, I think that Mozilla
aims to block all cookies (and other site storage) from known "trackers"
(Adobe Analytics, for our purposes) from "early 2019" (I understand this
means v65 of Firefox).If this is a correct interpretation, does it mean
that Adobe Analytics will not function in any useful manner for anyone
with a CNAME redirect (e.g., "metrics.mycompany.com" for
"www.mycompany.c...
The answer turns out to be quite simple: you need to specify the fields
that you want to see ('id' and 'name' are the defaults).So, add
"fields":["definition"] to the request.
Upvoted this as it's a problem I ran across for the first time today: I
tried to classify something as the value "0" (i.e. the number zero),
and, when I downloaded the Classification file to check the upload, that
field was blank.
Once I had looked into this a bit more, I decided to move away from the
performanceTiming plug-in altogether.There was a number of small quirky
things that informed the decision, but a major factor was that the data
was only being captured on the subsequent Page View call (or the Exit
Link call, if there was one) - this meant that you end up missing one
measurement in almost every visit, and it's worth noting that the missed
measurement is for the load of the page on which the visitor chooses to...

This doesn't help you with your current data, but an implementation
technique that we've successfully applied in a number of scenarios is to
capture a "navigation tracking" value on the destination page.The basic
steps are:Write a value to a cookie that represents the interaction
you're recordingOn every page view, set the value of the cookie (if it
exists) to a variable then delete the cookieYou will have a value that
can easily be used to break down page views by the different internal

Ended up answering my own question after a lot of aimless clicking
around; the documentation for creating Calculated Metrics in v1.4 of the
API is subordinate to the documentation for Segments:Calculated Metrics
| Adobe Developer Connection
hyderziaeeIn this post, Gigazelle recommends the use of a Numeric
classification (due to its simplicity compared to Numeric2).In addition,
there is a lot of Help documentation providing instructions on creating
Numeric classifications, and none of it includes caveats around
deprecated functionality.Is there any more detail you can provide?
I'm trying to import a numeric classification, but I'm unable to get
past the warning:Warning: Invalid Multiplier: '1'This appears whenever I
populate the final two columns with anything (the '1' part is because I
tried filling the final column with 1's on the last go).In the example
below, "Amt" is the classification variable of type 'text', and then
"Amt^~AmtN" is the 'numeric' classification variable.I presume the
variable ending "~per~" is meant to be the type of 'numeric' (it never
changes,...
Does anyone have any experience of this?I have come across an article
that (I think) mentions that this is possible (below), but I can't find
the documentation to support this.ARTICLE:New Calculated Metrics and the
