In case anyone is interested, I have written an extensive blog series on
how to get the most out of your Adobe Analytics implementation/program.

DB Vista is one of the most under-utilized features of Adobe Analytics
because it requires working through Adobe's Engineering Services. I
would like to see a version of DB Vista that is available to
administrators as a self-service instead. Just as Data Feeds used to
require Engineering Services, but now is self-service, so too could DB
Vista. I have found that Data Feeds is used much more now that it is
more accessible. I think the same would be true for DB Vista.I also
think that this would h...
This limitation should definitely be removed! If you could upload target
data to Data Sources, you can do amazing analysis on performance to date
in Analysis Workspace!
Currently, the Analysis Workspace auto-generated conditional formatting
feature doesn't work very well. If you have a large date range with
various metrics, it doesn't dynamically change or adjust to changes.
Often times you have to use the manual feature to sett upper and lower
bounds.I'd like to see this feature work better so you can make changes
and have the color schemes change dynamically. If that isn't possible,
I'd like to have the ability to set the upper and lower bounds by using
a for...
Unfortunately, the new functionality that was released doesn't solve
this issue. It only lets you divide two numbers in the same table. I am
looking to divide two summary metrics, which may come from different
tables...
I would like to be able to enter the name of any variable (or segment)
in the manage calculated metrics search box and have it return all
calculated metrics that contain that variable name or segment name. This
way, if you know that a calculated metric uses a specific variable or
segment, you can narrow down your choices so you avoid making multiple
versions of the same calculated metric.
I would like the ability to create a new analysis workspace summary
metric that is a formula (at first just divide, multiply, add or
subtract) of two existing summary metrics. This is useful when there is
no easy way to create a calculated metric due to different time frame
needs, etc.For example, if you have a summary metric for Daily Average
of Unique Visitors and you want to divide it by the Weekly Average of
Unique Visitors, it can be difficult. But if you had both as summary
metrics (based ...
When adding a metric to a report, often times you see hundreds of
metrics. It would be nice if there were a way to optionally see only
calculated metrics or only success events instead of always seeing them
jumbled together.
It would be great if there were an easy way to find all calculated
metrics/segments that use a specific variable or combination for
variables. For example, if there are 200 calculated metrics, it would be
nice if you could filter them to see only those that use event3 or
event3 and event5.
Click-Through Rates in Adobe AnalyticsOne of the more advanced things
you can do with Adobe Analytics is to track click-through rates of
elements on your web pages. Adobe Analytics doesn’t do this out of the
box, but if you know how to use the tool, there are some creative ways
that you can add click-through rate tracking to your implementation. In
this post, I will share a few different ways to track click-throughs for
both products and non-product items.Product Click-through RatesIf you
sell p...
Trending Adobe Analytics Data After Moving VariablesMost of my
consulting work involves helping organizations fix and clean-up their
Adobe Analytics implementations. Often times, I find that organizations
have multiple Adobe Analytics report suites and that they are not setup
consistently. As I wrote about in this post, having different variables
in different variable slots across different report suites can result in
many issues. To see whether you have this problem, you can select
multiple rep...
For any forum folks in India, I am going to attempt to come over to do
some training classes if I can get enough support/interest.Here is a
link with more information:

You would need to repeat them for each product. Note that your string
had commas and semi colons wrong and you need to leave a space for
incrementer events. Here is what it should look
like:s.products="fruit;orange;1;99;;eVar10=HeroBanner|eVar11=Autumn|eVar12=Bob,fruit;pear;2;180;;eVar10=HeroBanner|eVar11=Autumn|eVar12=Bob"
I have written a bit about this in the following blog

I am not sure if in your scenario it is always the same event or
different events, but you can use a COUNTER eVar set to +1 on each page
and expire it at your target event to see how many pages are viewed
prior to the event.If you want to include multiple/all events, that is
still possible, but in that case, you'd have to set a second event at
the same time that you set the list of events you care about and then
expire the eVar on that master success event.Here are some blog posts to
read that w...
Adam who? Of course not!BTW, you may wan to check out this post and
consider posting questions like this on the Measure Slack group where
there are more immediate replies from the Adobe Analytics
community...http://analyticsdemystified.com/conferencescommunity/part-measure-slack-community/
Analysis Workspace - The Future is HereOne of the great things about
Analysis Workspace is that it begs you to keep driving deeper and deeper
into analysis in ways that the traditional Adobe Analytics reports do
not. I have heard Ben Gaines talk about this as one of the reasons he
loves Workspace so much and he is spot on. Ever since it burst onto the
scenes, those who understand Adobe Analytics have realized that it
represented the future of the product. The only thing holding it back
was the f...
While somewhat extreme, what you can do is to save the main Responsys
eVar report and the classifications you do want as custom reports, add
them to the menu using the menu customizer tool and then HIDE the
original Responsys report. That will hide the main report and all of its
classifications, but you will still see the reports you want via the
custom reoprt. You make a custom report by opening the report and using
the toolbar and select CUSTOM REPORT option (under the 3 dots)...
To do this, go to the pages report and click alerts, make the metric
page views and then use the "select specific items" area to pick the
page you want and then set the alert for under 10.
You can capture IP Addresses in an sProp and classify the internal ones
and make a Virtual Report Suite off of the classification. That Virtual
Report Suite woudl only have hits/visits for your internal IP Addresses
and the cost is $0,
There is a way to pass the time between success events to an eVar using
the TimeToComplete Plug-in described here:
https://blogs.adobe.com/digitalmarketing/analytics/plug-ins-inside-omniture-sitecatalyst/
You should set an additional custom sProp and put in a site value that
is the same for each page within that site (Unique A or Unique B in your
example). Then if you enable pathing, you will see time spent and other
metrics for the site as a whole...
This used to be possible using the ASI feature. You should ask Adobe if
there is a way to still use that feature. If so, it would look like a
new report suite to your users...
For the most part, goals will convert to Success Events, but the two
tools are pretty different in how they are implemented. You may want to
check out my book on Adobe Analytics
(http://bit.ly/sitecatalyst-handbook) before going to far with your
implementation.
You should be able to tweak this in the general settings of each report
suite. I think Adobe recently changed all report suites to have
Conversion Level access, which may be why you are seeing this for the
first time...You can learn more about that in the latest release
notes...
