when a scheduled report failed to be delivered, it get's marked as failed as shown here:i see the following problems and improvements:Reason for failure: currently i see no reason why the schedule failed or which recipients didn't get the scheduled projectDate of failure: i can't see any date when the failure appearedExpiry of message: if the same schedule has a new run without a failure, the above messages stay as "failed", even when all recipients get the desired workspace projectMessage system: the owner of the scheduled project doesn't get a message that there was a failure. as the owner of the schedule it would be nice to see a message by email (or marketing cloud notification) that a schedule had a failurevisibility (red sign): the red sign only appears when the filter "failed" is marked. the sign should be on the main schedule as well! if a failure appears it looks as the system generates an additional entry for the failed report which is only available/visible when filtered for "failed"i love to see this feature, but in current mode it is just a waste of time looking at the data ...
adobe analytics has a great feature which allowes you to mark items (segments, calculated metrics, workspaces, ...) to mark as "approved". this gives the users the confidence, that the items they use are working as expected.however, every user with access to those items (especially who is allowed to create new ones) can also change the "approved" items! and this can happen by incident, just by changing the item on the flow ... and there is no undo function requirement:add a new "role" in user managmenet which allows users to "approve items" and "change approved items"!this way the admins can create sort of "single point of approvement" (or security/confidence over data) just by establishing a goog approvement workflow. and they can be sure nobody else changes those items. knowing that, they can give users more privileges to create their own items and play around whitout the fear of any damage to "approved" items.
We use listVars that expire on Visit. In Reports & Analytics, we can use "Instances" to measure when the variable was actually set. This metric isn't available in Workspace. As we want to use 100% Workspace in the future, it would be great to have the full functionality of the old reporting available in Workspace as well. So: Please give us Instances for listVars in Workspace. :-)
We run an ETL process with a scheduled Data Warehouse report as input. When the format of this report changes between CSV and ZIP from one month to the next, it breaks our ETL process. I would like to see an option to choose the format of the Data Warehouse report so that it is consistent every time it runs.
It seems that more time is invested in Virtual Report Suites (VRS).It would be nice to be able to set up a VRS with a customized calendar to mimic fiscal patterns or mon-sun weeks. Basically the option you have right now within the report suite settings but then through a VRS and (if possible) retroactively.
We are making extensive use of virtual report suites to manage the way we share & present data throughout our organisation.However, the lack of support for Data Sources potentially wreaks havoc on our carefully planned virtual report suites strategy.The problem is that every time a user requires access to the data uploaded via data sources (e.g. e-mail sent, opened, bounced etc.) we have to open up access to the underlying report suite completely bypassing our carefully curated virtual report suites.Please can you consider adding support for Data Sources to Virtual Report Suites?
In Adobe Analytics the Character limit of PageName is 100 bytesReference:https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/sc/implement/pageName.html If PageName exceeds the limit, it gets to strip off so increase the limit upto 255(characters)
Workspace is pretty, but it's not the fastest, especially when working close to the max of 25 months of data. Slow speeds compound in frustration when Workspace tries to recalculate whole tables and connected visualizations each time something changes. Modifying a table is next to impossible when reconfiguring each dimension or metric causes 15+ seconds of recalculation of the table and it's associated visualizations.Tableau gets around this with a pause button. I would hugely appreciate this functionality.Features of the pause button- Panel-level pausing for all calculations in the panel. Button would be available in header to pause panels before expanding them- All visualizations can still be configured, and all components accessed, but no new data would be calculated- Visualizations with changes made during a pause would gain some sort of highlight/color change- Export functionality could be turned off- Bonus: pressing the pause button halts all current calculations being performed, requiring them to be completely recalculated upon resumeResuming from pause calculates the panel, like it's just been expanded or opened
We have Artificial Intelligence by Adobe Sensei, and, on the other hand, a personal data feed which is often rather abandoned...Why not let Sensei post recommendations, e.g. based on Adobe Analytics data, to the feed?
While it is handy to be able to search for pages containing certain text, it would be good to also be able to filter based on a metric. I imagine this can be accomplished with some complicated segments but this would be much simpler and more dynamic.For example, filter to show only pages which have more than 100 page views, or pages which have a bounce rate of >50%, or pages which have contributed a certain amount of users to a certain conversion event. In some situations, this column could then potentially not be included in the table, freeing up space.On top of this, it would be great if the column totals updated when filters are applied, almost as if a segment had been used on the table.
A Flow visualization can get a little difficult to handle after the user switches from one dimension to another.One dimension:Very clean and aligned with what I clicked. Page Type = Product Details is expanded into all the next Page Types.But as soon as I switch dimensions in the right-most column to Product (to analyze what products were being accessed), I get into trouble:Each value that was shown in the Page Type column is now expanded into the Product dimension column: Product Details, Department, Search Results, Shopping Cart, and Home. To continue my analysis, I have to click everything but Product Details.I'd love to be able to right-click on one of the values in Page Type to focus on paths that go through that Product Details item only:
When using If condition in calculated metric formula, the unsatisfied values need to be set to '0'.These line items still show up in the report with zero value and there is no option to have them excluded by default. The most is to display the zero as no value. However, copying these values or extracting them still copies over the underlying zero value and the report it self show these line items.Example calculated metric:This is how the current setup shows the data with the two options available:Ask: Change the checkbox for interpreting the zero to radio buttons and provide the extra option to exclude values which are having zeroes against them in all columnsAdditional Ask: If this is idea is implemented, it would be a good idea to show only the total for the qualifying data at the top of the column and not site-wide total.
Adobe is a global company, offering its products around the world. The expectation is that the tools work also in non-English environments. There are several issues where functions do not work as designed due to lack of language support (or foreign language testing), especially in ReportBuilder.I am not talking about translation issues or missing languages (all our reporting and also Adobe UI settings are in English), but there are issues if the Windows client and/or UI is not English. For example, the "segment segment from cell" script does not work if the OS is German (even if Excel UI and ReportBuilder UI are English). My suggestion: Adobe, please test your tools in non-English UI environments before rolling it out to the customer.
Current Issue: Right now, users (non-Admins) are limited to being able to share items (projects, segments, calculated metrics) to individual users one at a time. This means that if a user wants to share out an item to their entire team, then have to manually "check the box" for each individual team member at a time. When accounts have 100's of users to select from, this is quite a laggy process and time consuming, and not the most efficient or streamlined method. Only Admins have the ability to share items to user groups, which is not efficient either.Proposed Idea/Solution: All users should the ability to share out items (projects, segments, calculated metrics) to their entire user group (team). Users will be empowered to share items to their teams, which will save them time, and enable team collaboration. This will de-centralize the functionality so that users don't have to ask Admins to share out components to their user group. Please note that users should only be able to share out items to user groups that they are member of, so that they don't spam other team's items.This is somewhat similar to the request here: Allow Non-Admin Users to share Components with configured Groups However I want to extend it beyond components to also encompass sharing workspace projectsBenefit:This will greatly increase the team collaboration and help enable all users of the Adobe platform with more streamlined collaboration.
Working with complex segments and calculated metrics that contain many nested containers and may take a few screens, it's quite often when I move or add something into a wrong place. Sometimes the recovery may take longer than making everything from scratch.The Undo feature (Cmd+Z, Ctrl+Z) would be extremely helpful if supported in the Metric Builder and Segment Builder UI.
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 formula that uses the same functions already available in Analysis Workspace.
From a technical point of view this is not difficult. You already have currency conversion in place for each report suite - being able to change this is key for our needs. All you need is a daily scrape of currencies from a supplier like XE. This would allow our UK team to see £, our FR team to see € and the US team to report in $. Currently we are using secondary server calls but this is not a viable long term solution.
Adobe:In administrating and managing AA at my company, it would be useful if we had an ability to download listings of "Scheduled Reports", Data Warehouse Reports, as well as being able to download lists from all other Admin pages. In some locations within Adobe Analytics, we are offered an opportunity to "Export to *.csv format" - I would like to see this ability everyplace - one example of a place I would like to see this would be within the "Scheduled Report Manager." One example of a place where this already exists is within Admin > Analytics Users and Assets - placing a check mark in the box at the top of the column on the far let checks all boxes and makes "Export to csv" available. I would like to see this function everyplace.Thank You,Bill MenichilloDow Jones
Current Issue:Users do not have the ability to copy + paste segment containers in segment builder, resulting in extra clicks needed to build segments where the same containers must be repeated throughout the segment. Proposed Idea/Resolution: Add the ability to copy a container in Segment Builder and paste as another container within the segment you are building -- including all the logic within the container. Benefit:Makes it faster to build complex segments when a specific container and its logic are repeated within other containers in the segment. See example below:Thanks!
I have a Fallout report and whenever I move the mouse somewhere near the steps on the left, they expand to reveal all the pages that make up each step. This can be quite annoying, especially when you have a number of pages that make up each step as the fallout report becomes too big to see the whole report. Is there a way to not have these expand on mouseover and if not, could this be considered as an enhancement to the report?
Disclaimer - Please discredit this if I am incorrect, but I do not think I am. The out of the box 'bounce rate' metric, which is calculated as 'bounces / entries' does not work when used with the product string. the reason is that 'entries' does not work with the product string, but bounces do. after some discussion with client care I was told the following as it relates to the entries metric. From Help SectionEntries represents the number of times a given value is captured as the first value in a visit. Entries can occur only once per visit. However, it is not necessarily the first hit if the variable is not defined. From discussions with client carethe product string can contain multiple products. if the entry server call contains multiple products, only the first product in the string will get credit for the entry. all other products in the string will not have an entry associated with it. We often drive people to landing pages that contain multiple products on the page, thus we set a product string with multiple products. So when we aggregate our products we end up with bounce rates way over 100% because bounces end up higher than entries, something that should never be the case. My idea is as follows: 1-Can we make the entries metric work for the product string? this would change the definition of entries, but i do not think it is clearly definied in any documentation I have found.2- if we cannot do the above, can we create a new entry metric related to the product string alone? this would allow us to create a new bounce rate metric for products. A couple of workarounds and their issues: A short term work around I came up with to calculate bounce rate for the product variable is to divide bounces by single page vistis. this will work but it is not perfect for the following reason: we have instances where an event, containing the product string is the first server call of the visit. this would cause that product to not have a 'single page visit' associated wtih it. Note - page name does not work so well for me because we have a site that has over 10 million products, so we very quickly run into uniques exceeded issue. we have the same issue with the produt variable but we have been allowed to increase this limit into the millions. let me know your thoughts
I want to be able to export/download the logs from Analytics UI. For ex: I want to export or download a log of every Custom Event from a specific reporting suite that has been published or enabled within a time period.
For workspace projects that are built around a specific use case, e.g. the detailed analysis of a specific site feature, it'd be extremely helpful if we could upload a screenshot/image and place it next to our visualizations to provide context and better tell the story with data.
Currently, it is not possible to manage user rights for Adobe Analytics in a truly modular way. I am speaking about Product Profiles in Admin Console. I would like to grant access to Analytics based on two main aspects:User skill level and role: Beginner / Intermediate / AdvancedThis defines the Metrics, Dimension and Tools the user has accessOrganizational: Company divisionThis defines the Report Suite(s) the user has access toI would create different Product Profiles for each entity and combine these. E.g. Product Profile "Beginner" has access to a very limited set of Dimensions and Metrics and only to Reports & Analytics, but not Workspace. Product Profile "Japan" has only access to the Japan Report Suite. A beginner in the OU Japan would get both these Product Profiles assigned.In the Admin console, there are five areas where permissions are defined:Report SuitesMetricsDimensionsReport Suite ToolsAnalytics ToolsReading this, I understand it should be possible to grant access to Report Suites independently:https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/manage-products-and-profiles.html Quote: "A user could belong to multiple product profiles, each conferring different licenses to the user. A user's final eligibility is the union of all licenses conferred by each Product Profile to that user."Yet, it is not. That's why I am writing this ;-) Adobe Engineering confirmed that permission to Report Suites must always be set in the same Product Profile where permission to Dimensions and Metrics is set.I consider this a lack of functionality, especially for the Enterprise segment Adobe prides itself to cater to. Large companies with various report suites want to restrict access to those while metrics and dimensions would be the same for a specific user group (like the "Beginners").The only workaround I can think of is to create product profiles "Webanalytics Beginner" for each of the countries with identical permissions except for the report suite. What if there are 30 countries and I want to grant access to a new dimension to "Webanalytics Beginners"? You would have to edit 30 (almost identical) profiles. Not efficient.
About 35% of our traffic is not real and we working towards implementing ways to filter out this traffic. One of those is the blog post below:Advance Your Bot Filtering Powers | Adobe I am a big fan of the idea. However, as I began implementing I realized that the Customer Attribute Segments that are created are only compatible with the reporting interface and not Datawarehouse. We run a ton of reporting through data warehouse.Can we please add Customer Attributes / Customer Attribute Segmentation to Datawarehouse?Thanks,Michael
