Build better products with our product team
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
According to the help text in Alerts:"Time Granularity refers to both how often the alrt will be checked and what will be included. For example, a granularity of 'Daily' will be checked once a day and look back at the last day's worth of data." This doesn't seem optimal. The lookback window on any alert (regardless of granularity) should cover at least the past month. The granularity I specify should only be an indication of how often I want the metric checked and an alert sent. For example, suppose there's a drop in Revenue on Monday, July 1st. Adobe should examine Revenue for the month of June (not just Sunday, June 30th's data) to determine if the drop in Revenue exceed the confidence intervals. I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if unclear and I will elaborate further.
It would be really nice if there was a date range preset or default segment that selects the current hours of the day that dynamically updates throughout the day. For example, if its currently 10:15am, the date range or segment would select all hours of the day from 0 to 9 (The 10am hour is not complete). Then, lets say 2 hours later, at 12:00pm, the date range or segment would now be selecting hours of the day from 0-11. I would use this segment to power intraday 'Today' vs. '7 Days ago' reporting and calculated metrics.To make this date range or segment even more slick and avoid issues related to data latency you could align the hours of day to fully processed data. This capability would enhance our intraday analysis dashboards, where we currently do the following:1. Use Today vs. 7 Days trended charts. This works great except when you have tables with many dimension values and you are always selecting dimension values to update your charts.2. Leverage 24 hour of day segments (0 to 0, 0 to 1, 0 to 2, 0 to 3, etc) to power reporting. this This works, but we always have to change the segment depending on the hour of day.
Would be nice, if you could apply classifications on Activity Link info, to help clean it up to be human friendly when it gets translated by google or other condition happens.
Hi,we would like to have an Option in Report Builder to "Not count Repeat Instances". This option already exist in Workspace, but we would like to have it also in Report Builder. It is really important.
Wondering whether we can have an option to switch Rows/columns on Visualizations(Graphs).Unable to see the same in Workspace and the feature will help us to play around.
When viewing a freeform table containing URLs it would be helpful to be able to open those links directly in a new tab.Currently I get around this by copying to clipboard and pasting, then deleting the metric info that gets copied too before loading the page.Ideally an option on the right click menu saying something like "Go to link" or "Load page". Anything!
IssueDeleting data is incredibly problematic (and expensive!) in Adobe analytics. One of the impacts is on our agility - we have several dimensions that are tied up as they contain historic data that is no longer relevant and we are waiting for that data to disappear through the standard data retention deletion process before we reuse - This is something we really struggle with. RequirementsThe requirement is to be able to quickly re-purpose variables/dimensions, thus increasing the flexibility/agility of the Adobe Analytics tool. For this scenario the requirement is to prevent end users seeing the historical data (rather than deleting the data). Therefore I was wondering if there was an alternative approach which would allow us to free up dimensions quickly for new purposes. Possible solution?The problem with deleting data seems to be unpicking all the processing that has happened. My thinking is this unpicking could be avoided by having virtual variables (much like a "virtual track" on a digital multi-track recorder) Each prop/eVar would have say 3 "virtual" versions. The admin console would allow admins to switch between which virtual version of a prop/eVar is in use. This would mean only one virtual version of a prop/eVar would be available at one time to record new data into and retrieve data from. At a time when the original purpose for a prop or eVar is no longer relevant the admin could simply cut across to a new/fresh version of the prop/eVar - allowing immediate re-purposing. This would be different to deleting data as all virtual versions would continue to exist in the background but only one available at any one time (i.e. no data is actually deleted) From a storage/infrastructure perspective it should also be different to just giving us loads more props/eVars as only one virtual variable could be recording new data at any one time (so storage requirement should be less) NOTE: this sort of already exists for eVars in the way that switching between different attribution types (linear/first touch/last touch) cuts across to a different instance/version of the eVar
For each panel of analysis workspaceI want the export function as a CSV file.※ No Copy to the clipboard, export function.Currently, from the menu at the top of the screen, projectWhen downloading as CSV, PDF, there are multiple panels,It is specification that all data is downloaded.When right clicking on the top of the panel or freeform tableAn export link as a CSV file is displayedI want to download each as panel .
Currently there is no way to select the date range in the 'server calls usage' interface. I cannot look back at my historical data. The simple solution is to make the date range something the user can select rather than a fixed range.
Hi,Last Touch Non-Direct attribution model should be an option.Also Last Touch model gives odd numbers, the above one should help.As it is if Direct or Internal Marketing channels are set not to Override Last-Touch Channel the model will increase the None channel.Thank You!
Hi There,Working in the travel sector we (and many of your clients) have 3 keys dates, which are:Booking Date (This is standard date in Adobe Analytics).Checkin Date (The date of the start of a Car Rental / Hotel Stay / Flight / Holiday / Cruise etc)Checkout Date(The date of the end of a Car Rental / Hotel Stay / Flight / Holiday / Cruise etc)which creates 2 key metrics for the businessLead Times (The date difference between Booking Date and Checkin Date)Duration (The date difference between Checkin and Checkout)Currently we (and all of the people in our industry) capture Checkin and Checkout using evars. We export this data into SQL and Qlik / Tableau when we want to manipulate it however this is not ideal. Whilst we can easily capture the metrics as events using our data layer it creates an issue where if a customer places 2 bookings in 1 visit or refreshes the metric does not work (both are common).If Adobe allowed an evar that used Unix time format to allow it would be a huge benefit to us as it would us to keep our analysis inside of Adobe.Thanks
looking at the current project manager in adobe analytics i can see a lot of improvements. it currently looks like this:i would love to see the following improvementsSchedules flag: projects with a schedule should have a sign/flag (maybe other colors for active, failed, expired)Metrics/Dimensions: columns with used metrics/dimension/segments within the project workspaceFilter: Currently there are only "positive" filter, no way to "exclude" certain flagswould love to have more information within this list.
Looking at Activity Map, it would be really awesome if there was a way to vizualize path analysis. Say, I have an odd path that I see has an increasing trend and I see the path that they are taking but perhaps it covers some pages I am less familiar with (the website I do analytics for has thousands of pages, Kind of hard to visualize each one). If I could select a path and then it take me to a view that I could follow the path that the user saw, that would be amazing. Being able to visually see it in the sense of Activity Map but follow the actual user's experience would be very helpful.
I think it would be super-cool if users could use SHIFT or CTRL to select rows in Analysis Workspace and temporarily see them grouped together and with metrics for the grouped rows summed. Today, you have to leave what you are doing and either build a segment or create a SAINT Classification. This stops the flow of doing analysis.For example, let's say that I am looking at a Freeform Table with Day of Year as the dimension. What if I wanted to group the first 7 rows and see the data aggregated. It would be great if I could select the rows and then right-click to open a new table that has those rows summed.As another example, what if I were looking at a set of blog posts (or pages) and I randomly wanted to search for the ones that include the word "campaign" (shown below) and see all of that aggregated into one row:In the future, it would be cool if these ad-hoc (no pun intended!) selections could be saved, shared and turned into segments...Better yet would be a way to create these aggregations using search criteria expressions and/or RegEx...
I'd like to use more often the Visualisation type "Text" - however, I'd see a lot more benefit if it was possible to use image content.Cheers/sandro
I did contact Client Care about this as I believe it's a bug / defect but they advised it's working as per design, if so the design would seem to be a bit flawed.The introduction of visibility control for an event was a great idea (though I'm still waiting on the same for dimensions). The concept of hiding except for builders so the front end isn't bombarded with unnecessary events makes a lot of sense, we can rely on calculated metrics to surface what we want, how we want and with any necessary modifications (e.g. segments or calculations). What doesn't make sense to me though is that to me the idea was about making things easy in the front end, Data Warehouse however can't use calculated metrics which means if you want to use any event in Data Warehouse you can't use the function. I would view Data Warehouse as a 'builder' given you can't use calculated metrics (in the same way you can't in builders) and it's designed for more technical users getting out large scale data.Not being able to access these metrics in Data Warehouse has meant we can't actually use the brilliant feature, which is such a disappointment, please help!
I'd appreciate the ability to use calculated metrics with histograms.
As an Adobe Analytics admin, I want the ability to update, change, and set a users default report suite at any time. Issues arise when a user creates a new project in Workspace, begins to perform analysis or the building of segments and metrics and then realizes afterward that they have defaulted to the wrong report suite. This is an issue if the user was defaulted to a report suite when their account was created but that report suite changes or is no longer used by the organization.
Not a new idea. This was submitted as an idea over four years ago. It is still a problem for many users. Please expand s.purchaseID to support unique strings larger than 20 characters. 64 characters would be just peachy as it would support a SHA256 output.https://forums.adobe.com/ideas/6214#comment-241670
We want to send app data to multiple report suites - an app specific one and a global rollup which also contains our website traffic data. Currently when we modify the mappings to evars and props processing rules are created in the app report suite but not the global report suite. This is causing a large admin overhead. It would be ideal if you could specify a secondary report suite for an app so that the processing rules are consistent across all report suites
IDEA: Allow me to filter via segments on A4T Target Activities in a Workspace project.Currently, when using A4T in Analytics, if you try to filter an entire Workspace project/panel using "Target Activities" it doesn't work, as visitors can be in more than one test at the same time. If you have a freeform table which includes the dimension "Target Activities" then you can filter that for a specific phrase, but if you are looking at other data related to the test and not specifically using the "Target Activities" dimension then you can only look at all activity.In theory the A4T Target information seems to act like a list var (i.e. you can have multiple values in a single hit) and its possible to segment/filter on list vars in Analytics.USE CASE: I want to create a project that allows me to see the aggregated performance and uplift of all Product X tests on a month by month basis.(May also be related to this idea: Target Activity Impressions in Segment builder )
when searching for items (projects, schedules, metrics, ...) i'm able to look for certain tags or flags.i would love to see an option to "exclude" all items that do not contain a certain flagexamples from the past where i could have used this option- show any calculated metrics that do not contain "test" => exclude tag "test"- show all calculated metrics that have no flags => exclude all tags- show only projects from other users => exclude "mine"- show projects that are approved but not shared with certain group => include "approved", exclude "certain group"i think there are a lot more examples where an exclude option could be useful
