This function has existed for years....In Analytics go to Admin > Company Settings.Under Management there is an item called "Hide Report Suites"In here, check all the report suits you want to hide.(update: I just noticed this is a really old thread, even though it's marked as "New Idea", but this existed way back then too)

Hi Brandon,Thanks for the update, the ability to change the default preferences would be fantastic.Also, while performance has gotten much better, I feel that while the data returns for the report, I always found the interface laggy when I had the "searching for anomalies" message. It's a lot better since I got a newer faster machine, but my old machine I really noticed the issue. So it's more about the report / interface performance (slowness trying to scroll the reports, perform additional act...

I'm not trying to use a calculated metric... I'm using a custom metric.... Right now, I've pretty much given up on the custom segment and am working with our DBA to create a DB report since nothing is working.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it also doesn't seem to be working....

The performance of the anomaly detection is actually rather problematic. Especially when it still bogs down the loading time on all reports, despite it being turned "off".... If it's turned off, we shouldn't be stuck waiting for it to "check for anomalies".... why does it need to check when we aren't going to be using it? It just makes the reports slower for no reason.

On top of having the default set, when making new functions such as this, they shouldn't be automatically added to existing reports. I have a few massive reports that I export for monthly comparisons, since the reports are slow to begin with, and the anomaly detection makes them slower, I have to spend 1.5 hours removing them all from each report. Maybe there could also be a bulk add/remove function for all metrics columns?

Hi, while this is a good suggestion, technically it can already be done. So long as the suites you need to replicate your custom reports across are consistent, you can select all the reports you want to replicate across (plus the one with the reports) in the Report Suite management. Go to manage the menu, it will ask which should be the primary - choose the one with the custom report. Resave the menu (overwritting the menu on the other suites with your primary). Now all the suites have the same ...

I had the same request a year ago.... still waiting. http://ideas.omniture.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-for-Adobe/Add-Instance-Metric-to-DataWarehouse/ idi-p/11421
