[Version Control] For Adobe Analytics Reporting Assets (Segments/CalculatedMetrics)

Description -

 

In current scenario whenever an asset (segment/calculated) metric is updated/modified, the prior definition cannot be accessed.

The version control feature in  (segment/calculatedMetric) would allow users to keep track of how this asset evolved over a period of time and also roll-back to last aligned / approved state whenever required.

 

Why is this feature important to you -

 

We have multiple assets that are maintained and are used for downstream reporting / use-cases (For example: Tableau dashboards / Bigquery tables etc). In case of data mismatch between AA and Tableau the primary reason always have been underlying AA asset was modified. The biggest challenge is to retrieve prior definition which was aligned for downstream system reporting.

 

How would you like the feature to work -

- Specific Tags that can be applied to (segment/calculatedMetric) assets, and these tags ensure any changes made to assets need to be approved by owner/system-admin/product-admin. With last approved state/definition available to roll-back in case required.

 

Current Behaviour -

Once a (segment/calculatedMetric) is updated, only the meta-data (Last modified By) is updated, the prior definition JSON payload are not accessible. So It is difficult to determine what has changed /or roll-back.
