Hi there,We are trying to set up a calculated metric representing a
target KPI which is different for each month of the year, and used the
IF-condition (see screenshot).We notice that it only works for
past/current month(s) but not for future months since the # of visits =
0 there (see screenshot).Does someone has an idea about how to set this
up?Thanks in advance,Sarah
Hi,I cannot share with you our internal campaign structure since that is
confidential, but here an example. The Meta1--Meta9 fields refer to
campaign metadata fields that you want to track systematically (like
type of channel, type of campaign,...)Kind regards,Sarah
Hi,Try changing the outer container (at the very top) to visitor level.
Reason: Both hits occured in different months, so not at the same hit
and neither during the same visit. Hope that helped.Kind regards,Sarah
Hi,Yes, it is possible to track campaigns in a similar way in Adobe
Analytics. In our company we do it like that as well. However Adobe does
not offer - to my knowledge - a campaign builder tool (like Google). But
you can easily set this up yourself in Excel.Kind regards,Sarah
Hi Kaushalendra,I just checked this, but it returned exactly the same
figures for both metrics (and thus the discrepancy is not only related
to Analysis Workspace).I will reach out to Customer Care to have an
answer.Thanks,Sarah
Hi,In the Adobe Help documentation I found the following formula for
Time Spent per Visit : Total seconds spent / (visit-bounces)It is thus
possible to recalculate it based on the other metrics. This is what I
exactly did.In the next table you can see the Adobe version of the
variable at the left and my own calculated metric at the right. The
results are different.Here the calculated metric:Can someone explain me
why the results are different? Is this a bug?Thanks in advance for your
feedback!Ki...
Hi Laetizia,Not the time for the custom links is calculated but the time
for the selected pages taking into account the custom links that
follow.Remember: Total Seconds Spent can only be calculated between 2
server calls, for example:Page A --> Page BPage A --> Download linkPage
B --> Exit link...That's the reason why you see custom links appearing
when dragging them beneath a page. It just proves that Total Seconds
Spent is also calculated in case a page is followed by a custom link
instead of ...
Hi Arun,Thanks for the screenshots. That's clear to me now.Can you also
tell me how we should build the segment in order to have the total
seconds spent correctly calculated? (so taken into account those next
hits like custom/exit/.. links). Kind regards,Sarah
Hi Alexis,I read in this post that props can be associated with success
events that occur later, and will be attributed according to the linear
allocation principal. However when reading the Adobe Help Comparing
Props and eVars I readeVars can use success events as metrics. Props
cannot. eVars are designed to report on conversion events, to show you
which values are most successful in influencing visitors to reach your
goals. Traffic variables (props) do not have this same functionality.
However...
Hi Arun,Thanks for your reply.With your first sentence I understand that
the Hit segment selects only the pageviews of those 6 pages and not next
hits like custom links, download links, exit links,.. which means not
all time spents are calculated. Correct? However don't understand your
second sentence. I should remove Custom, Download, Exit links from the
segment you say... but in the first sentence you said they were already
excluded from the HIT segment. My goal: to visualize the total seconds...
Hi,I just selected 6 pages from the page dimension for which I
visualized the Time Spent per Visit (for a period in the past) =
screenshot below. The aggregated figure on the top row (463) is the sum
of the time spent per visit figures of all 6 pages. To my understanding,
this aggregated figure does not represent anymore 'Time Spent per Visit'
over these 6 pages. Reason: Visitors who visited Page002 also visited
Page001 (because this is a sequential process). The Time Spent per Visit
should thus...
Hi,I just selected 6 pages from the page dimension for which I
visualized the Total Seconds Spent (for a period in the past) =
screenshot at the left. I then created a segment based on these 6 pages
and dragged above the Total Seconds Spent metric = screenshot at the
right.As you can see the results are different. Does anyone now why? Is
this a bug?Selection of 6 pages by filtering in Page dimensionSelection
of 6 pages by segmentKind regards,Sarah
The idea can be ignored. Instead of creating calculated metrics and
putting it left, I should have dragged the (underlying) segments over
there,and the metric unique visitors at the top. In that case the
Percent Change can be calculated, and I have my desired result.
Hi,Currently the metric for which you want to compare multiple time
periods and create the Percent Change metric needs to be in the column
header (cfr next screenshot). As a consequence you'll need to recreate
multiple Percent Change metrics.I would like to be able to add just one
column 'Percent Change' in the next table:This would save us a lot of
time.Thanks in advance,Sarah
Hi,This idea is related to a question I posted : Incorrect attribution
of conversions to Target activities in Analytics(?)It would be great to
be able to choose the attribution period. Currently there is no
expiration, which means that conversions are attributed to a past
activity even long after this activity was live. So, doing your Target
activity evaluation one week after your test or one month after your
test or 2 months after your test might result in ending up with a wrong
conclusion rela...
Hi,My question is about the possibility to upload offline customer
profile data.Both Customer Attributes as the DMP offer this possibility.
So two different solutions within the Adobe Marketing Cloud support the
same functionality/goal. Do you have a comparison between both solutions
regarding the uploading and usage of such kind of data? Specific
features, advantages, disadvantages,... of each Whether some Adobe
customers use both next to each other? If so, why, when, which
usecases,...?We are ...
Hi,This is definitely an interesting idea. At our company (insurance
banking) we got more and more questions related to the time between
events, which we now have to calculate each time based on datafeed
extracts in our own data lake. It would be great to have this - very
soon - on the fly in Adobe Analytics for the end user as
well.@admoseremic: Is this already put on the product roadmap, and if so
when will it come available?Kind regards,Sarah

Thanks Hyderziaee for your suggestion, but they are already renamed in
the shortest possible way 🙂 I don't want to abbreviate labels too much
because it will then not be easy (for others) to interpret
Hi,Currently it is not possible to resize the legend width in order to
have the label visible on one row and not be truncated over multiple
rowsCfr next screenshot.It would be great that we could resize this by
pulling/dragging the scrollbar line (cfr yellow marked) to the
right.Thanks,Sarah
Hi,Would also like this ability. I am quite sure that currently the
histogram isn't much used. Let's hope Adobe analyses & optimizes their
functionalities 🙂 Adding the possibility to drag calculated metrics
into histograms would definitely increase relevancy of this
functionality.
Hi Gigazelle,Thanks for your reply but this is not the answer I am
searching for. We don't want to explain our visitors how to delete the
NOTARGET cookie, but we want to offer him a button/link on our website
which immediately opts them back in, like Adobe offers from the
Analytics Omniture_optout:Opt-in - Include me in visitor session
aggregation and analysis (do not install the kbcgroupnv.d3.sc.omtrdc.net
opt-out cookie) - Click HereOpt-out - Exclude me from visitor session

Hi,Adobe offers on their Adobe Privacy website a way for our website
visitors to opt-out for Adobe Marketing Cloud advertising solutions for
web-based ads.This will call the following pixel:
http://www.demdex.net/demoptout.jpgAs a result, the demdex cookie will
be set to NOTARGET. What if a visitor wants to opt-in again? Can we on
our website offer our visitor a way (link) to opt-in again?Thanks,Sarah
Hi,Currently it is not possible to create a segment to select all
impressions for a certain Target Activity. Reason: The Activity
Impressions metric cannot be used in the segment builder.Consequence:
you select all visits/pages of a visitor who was in a certain activity,
which is not the same as selecting only the impressions of a an
activity. Use case example: on the homepage we have 2 activities, one
for prospects and one for customers. When the homepage is loaded, either
a visitor is recogniz...
@Bgeorge, I do see value in adding this feature. Here the usecase:You
want to see the distribution of #pageviews for page X. Applying a
segment (which selects page equals X) on the top of the table would not
reflect the distribution of #pageviews for page X.What does it reflect?
Eg Segment 2: In fact this number is the number of visitors with 2
pageviews from which page X was (at least) one. So, it is not that the 2
pageviews apply necessarily both to page X.Why am I certain about this1)
The seg...
I agree on this feature request. It is a big shortcoming that the
histogram does not work with calculated metrics. @benjamingaines: is
this on the list of next developments? when may we expect this?
I agree on this. The limitation of 100 characters for prop and pagename
is really outdated. I am astonished to see that this idea dates from
2010 and is still not handled by Adobe.
Hi,Based on the datafeed export and using Python language (so outside
Adobe) a colleague was able to create a nice visualization of the visit
journey/path.Here below you see the paths on Pagetype level.Advantages
compared to (Next Page) Path reports in Adobe Analytics or Adhoc
Analysis:- The sunburst tarts from the first pagevisit: the inner circle
is the first page <--> In Adobe you start from a given page unregardless
from the visit depth- The sunburst gives you a complete overview of all
