Product Communities

Hi,we want to give Adobe Analytics access to an external partner - with limited access to only a few metrics and dimensions. For this we created a virtual report suite, where we limited the access to one specific segment, created a product profile and a user profile. For those profiles we also specified only a few metrics that should be visible for the external partner. Unfortunately, while testing we discovered that the partner can also view all calculated metrics that are shared with "All users". This is currently a blocker for us - we do not want that the external partner can see all shared calculated metrics and can use them in Workspace. So the solution would be to only show the metrics and dimensions that have been specified for the virtual report suite and product profile.Thank you and best regardsPatrick

As noted in this forum thread: Calculated Metrics for Cohort Analysis The specific use case I had was that I wanted to do a cohort analysis based on visitors that had viewed a specific piece of content. Ideally:A segment for visits that viewed that contentThat segment used in a calculated metric -- just the segment and then Visits as the metricThat calculated metric as my inclusion metricAlas! Not doable. So, it winds up being painful DW exports and stitching together of visitor IDs.-Tim Wilson

Right now in Workspace, the range of the scale for the line & bar charts is set by the tool automatically and is based on the data set being presented.  While most of the time this is fine however when it comes to supporting metrics that have high occurrences of major outliers (like page load time) or high amount of volatility , the scale can get 'messed up' if a single outlier data point comes in.  it would be preferred if we were able to 'overwrite' the automatic scale to whatever range we as business analyst feel would be best for our purposes.  In the event that we set a scale and outlier data point comes in the 'normal trend' doesn't get obscured for by a single point.  this applies a lot to the minute and hour charts as daily averages seems to be more normalized than micro time period data points.this would help my organization a lot because we regularly do nightly code releases that can momentarily impact the performance of the user experience

In Segment Manager and Calculated Metrics Manager, Adobe offers the possibility to approve metrics. However the approved metrics are not highlighted in anyway when using Workspace.E.g. if I have 2 calculated metrics with similar names, an icon to highlight the approved one would give users confidence that they are using the correct version.@

It would be great to have a link to the report automatically included in scheduled workspace report. Although it possible to generate a link to the report and include it in the report, the link is sometimes broken and require to be updated (eg. when they are changes in the workspace report)

Hello Adobe Community,I want to submit an idea about new Time ranges that could be calculated from a selected date.For exemple, If I select a week on the date selection ( let's say week 52 of 2016) , my custom time range should be calculated from date selection - and wouldbe week 51 - in order to make a week to week analysis on week 52. Time ranges can already be calculated from rolling dates, but cannot change whenever the date selection changes.These new time ranges could facilitate the analysis of past weeks or past months  - since it would'nt be necessary to change all the time ranges from existing reports on rolling dates.Kind regards,and Cheers to the Adobe Community !Mario

Hello,the alerts listing always loses the applied filters when browsing between alerts.Which is very frustrating Steps to reproduce: within the Alerts components into AA, apply a filter (e.g. Other Filters --> Show all) open a filtersave it and go back to the filter list ==> you'll get the list without any filter appliedWould be amazing to save the applied filters when browsing.Thanks!Sebastiano

Filtering is pain, especially in Analysis Workspace, where there aren't regex options.  It would be great to be able to handle filtering at the segment level.  I propose adding a new container option called 'filter' or similar.This would do exactly what it says.  Only show you data for items filtered within the segment.  Because we have so many products and product categories on our site we are reliant on combinations of segments and dimension components to get the views we need.  Having a segment that filters for you would save a lot of time and effort in building workspaces.   We try to build templated workspaces where all that needs to be replaced is the segment.  however, because we have to rely on the filter or a dimension value, we must take more steps to design the report.Michael

Currently in segment builder accessed via the browser it only displays a certain number of charactors in the fields. If you have a long page name it is impossible to see which page it is as it cuts the end of the name off. The only way to see the pagename is to close the dimensions menu then zoom out in the browser so it is tiny. If i click in the field to try and scroll to the end of the pagename it just disappears.  Would it be possible to either wrap the text so the whole name appears or hover over it to show the full name or even allow you to click in the cell to see what the name is? It is frustrating having to keep closing the dimension menu then zoom in and out to be able to use it.

I was referring this page browserWidth , as per this document browserWidth will be setup before "doPlugin" but this is not correct for AppMeasurement. It was working fine for s_code.

There is the option to add a user expiration, and to change / extend it but not to remove it so if you accidentally set an expiration or for example somebody decides to leave the business but we manage to retain them we can't ever remove that expiration. Minor but slightly annoying.

I LOVE the calculated metric builder and I've started using some of the more advanced functions to start producing some much more useful interactive Workspaces. One wall I've hit though is that if I want to create a table of top products that match metric criteria such as "show me conversion for products with more than 1000 visits" when I rank in the opposite direction all I get is 0%. While this is technically accurate it means I can't create a table of those top products I'm just ranking the most relevant ones at the top.The reason for this is the false value of the function is 0 which is still interpreted as a value and therefore displayed in the report, what I want to be able to do is set it to NULL instead so that if I sort by that metric ONLY those products are displayed and everything with no value is hidden.

In a previous post (http://ideas.omniture.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-for-Adobe/Segment-Toggle-quot-Normal-Exclude-qu ot-Feature/idi-p/14612) I mentioned it would be great to basically have a quick negative segment creation. It appears as if Adobe figured this logic out with the "Everyone Else" feature with Segment Comparison. While, Segment Comparison is nice, it really seems to give limited results outside of "next steps to investigate". For instance, it will give me a weight of say 0.20 for Mobile visitors and tell me, "hey this metric is important" but then I have to go investigate that and then to truly understand that metric, i have to create an "Everything else Metric" to continue this investigation. Where I think this becomes truly applicable is going to my own freeform table and being able to drop the segment of I am investigating and then be able to have the ability to select the segment, right clicking it, and have an option to negate the segment, which would be the same as "Everyo

It would be useful to be able to have the option to see ranking maintained when applying a filter or segment to a report. With so many pages, we have to do a Data Warehouse export to Excel to be able to search for a page and see how it ranks.

Hello All,I was hoping you could get two things on the roadmap.1.  Better documentation around your APIs (Though what you have is a great start) 2. Better responses from your APIs when the WSSE Header is wrong (which, though I'm no expert, I feel was stupid hard  "unable to validate" is not helpful).Here's some things that aren't mentioned (Keep in mind, I'm not a network/IT guy, just trying to help):1. Nonce / Digest should be ASCII format when created (not sure if this is 100% correct, but it worked for me)2. Base 64 encoded Digest and Nonce must be DEcoded before sending (this may be common knowledge for some, but wasn't listed)3. When decoding, you have to remove the leading whites pace from the values that are decoded4. The POSTMAN example is a good start, but it would be great if you could explain in more detail what is occurring at each step.5. You don't need a SHA1, you can use any hashing algorithm as long as its sent in the header6. Each parameter value of the header should b

Hi I am one of the people who still use Ad Hoc more than Workspace. I do like Workspace, but there is one main reason for my love to Ad Hoc.When I search within my thousands of segments, it does not matter whether I write "Car sale" or "Sale Car" as search phrase in Ad Hoc. It will find the stuff nevertheless.In Workspace I have to remember exactly what order my segments are named.This is such a big difference for someone playing around with thousands of segments. I do have namestructures on them, but the order can be difficult to recall at times. Did I put the "." before or after "Sweden" for example.Anyway. Please update the workspace search box so that it does this as well as Ad HocMichael

Currently in workspace if you curate a project you have to select specific dimensions, metrics, segments and dates to include. What we would like to be able to do is curate a project to a specific dimension i.e. page but allow users to access any segment they wish.WHat would be even better is if you could just curate segments or metrics to any 'approved' ones.

Now that a working integration between Adobe Analytics and AAM is live (Marketing Cloud Help ),  We need the ability to further classify the segments that are available within Adobe Analytics  As of now you just get the ID and the name of each segment.  Example of needed segmentation. Segment type (Demo,Behavioral,Modeled), Segment Source (1st Party, 3rd Party, CMS, etc),   It will aid users in getting to the segments that are interested in faster.

When we delete any segment, it shows the notification that it could have been used in dashboards but it doesn't show the name of dashboards using this segment. Ideally, it should display all the dashboards which are currently using a particular segment so we can easily do segments cleanup whenever required.

Hi, In Adobe Analytics, I tried to get the overall sum of servercalls for all reportsuites together. Currently, I have to download the usage report for each of my 25 reportsuites for every month separately. Then I have to sum up all these numbers to see the sum of server calls of this month. So, if I want to know the servercalls for each report suite for the last year, I have to download it for Januar, Februar, March, ... and afterwards I have to sum up the data from report suite 1, report suite 2, report suite 3, ...  It would be great to have an automatic process for this.Thanks and regards,Linda

ProblemI spend a good amount of time onboarding new Adobe Analytics end-users and have failed to develop a solid onboarding process. Adobe has done a good job of adding drop zone guides and tips, however, a lot of the valuable information is scattered throughout the Help and Reference section, YouTube, etc. HypothesisI believe if Adobe developed a standardized onboarding Workspace project, including high-level starter (How To) projects, a data dictionary for standard metrics, quick links to tutorials, etc., I’d be able to streamline the onboarding process.  If I’m right, new end-users will not be overwhelmed with the tool, can self-serve at their own pace, and become more engaged through some sort of “gamification” method (i.e. tests to gain advanced access).

It would be extremely useful if we could have an option to add sparklines to tables containing metrics.  See the below example.  This would enable users to:1. Create workspaces with less tables and visualizations.  Allowing for faster and more efficient workspaces.2. Analyze data faster.3. Isolate where we need to dig further faster.4. Reduce dependency on report builder for similar purposes.See below for an example.  Let me know your thoughts.

Since minute granularity is available in Workspace, this provides some great insights! However it is a pity that for extracing larger sets of data, this needs to be done manualyl via Workspace. It would be great if you'd enable minute granularity in DWH requests!

In an organisation that is trying to centrally manage and curate workspaces and components, being able to understand and manage who components are shared with is key.Unfortunately, the tool does not current help us do this....With the segment and calculated metric manager there is a column called 'Shared with'.  However, it is impossible to filter on this column (in fact you can't even sort by it!)Please can you considered allow us to filter by the 'shared with' column in a similar way to which you can current filter by the 'owner' column?This would be a great help in our management of components

Currently only Admins can share projects within Workspace. I have a customer who would like normal users to be able to share a Project to others within their Group.Could we add a permission/role that could be granted to users so that they can share a Project to their Group, without having to have Admin privileges?
