Build better products with our product team
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
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
