Re: Analysis Workspace: We need analytics on Analytics! - Adobe Analytics

@d1g1tal , Out of interest, how far did you get with accessing Logs via the API? Are you referring to v1.4 or v2.0 of the API? I'd be interested to know whether you're able to share endpoints or any other details.

Re: Calculations with numbers stored as text in s.eVar - Adobe Analytics

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.

Re: Calculations with numbers stored as text in s.eVar - Adobe Analytics

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!

Best Practice for Multiple Editors in Adobe Launch - Adobe Experience Platform Data Collection

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...

Using CNAME to boost data capture rates - Adobe Analytics

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...

Re: DTM pageload timings - Dynamic Tag Management

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 ...

Re: Can I switch environments for Launch using the developer console like I did in DTM? - Adobe Experience Platform Data Collection

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...

Re: DTM pageload timings - Dynamic Tag Management

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...

Wildcard Operators when using "matches" in Segment Builder - Adobe Analytics

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.

Re: Anti-tracking release for Firefox - Adobe Analytics

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).

Re: Firefox tracking blocker affecting Target - Adobe Target

@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...

Re: Firefox tracking blocker affecting Target - Adobe Target

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

Re: Anti-tracking release for Firefox - Adobe Analytics

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 ...

Re: Intelligent Tracking Prevention - Adobe Analytics

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...

Re: Retrieving details for a Calculated Metric using API - Adobe Analytics

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.

Re: Modifications to the 'performanceTiming' plug-in - Adobe Analytics

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...

Re: Which click led the visitor to a specific page? - Adobe Analytics

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 (within...
