I know I can use the flow tool, but I want to pull in Next Page as a variable in a workspace dashboard.
Currently, anyone looking to build marketing links in the Mobile Marketing Link Builder must have admin access to Mobile Services. In practice, that means that either someone on the analytics team has to build the links (which can lead to bottlenecks), or the marketers must have admin access to Mobile Services, which brings some risk as there's additional access.Can we add a level of access to build mobile marketing links without requiring Mobile Services access?
As Adobe Admins we are not able to get the report suite data for the Scheduled projects,for the workspace projects which are not shared by with the admin by the users.If you could add this as a column along with other columns in the scheduled projects list along with details of all scheduled projects it would be helpful.
We have third-parties that need to ingest Analytics data with specific column names. It would be ideal if we could overwrite column names in the exports. Example:- Need to send transaction IDs, Orders, Revenue to an FTP- However, the vendor has strict requirements that these be called ordr_id, ordr_cnt, rv_amt
Hi,I would like to raise a feature request relating to Adobe Analytics Data Feeds. Currently there is no option to move fields that have been added up and down in the list. For example, if I move post_evar30 into 10th position in the feed criteria but later decide I want it to be in column 30 having added many more variables, I need to remove them all and start again. This is very slow if you copy an existing feed and simply want to rearrange the order of the variables.Having a drag and drop UI for Data Feeds would be great.Thanks,Tom
Webmaster Tools provides great visibility into search performance - full keyword list of terms, with impressions, clickthroughs, average position, etc. This information has become even more valuable as most organic search terms are now blocked. The Webmaster Tools interface, however, isn't fantastic, and the ability to get the data organized and exported properly is frustrating. Google Analytics has helped here - you can link GA and Webmaster Tools, to allow users to take advantage of GA's better reporting functionality. It seems to me Adobe should do the same here - by using the Webmaster Tools API (https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/) full keyword data could be brought into the Analytics interface. Granted it isn't integrated with site usage data, but that's still a whole lot better than what is in place now. My guess is almost 100% of clients would want this functionality. Right now, we are running both Adobe and GA in parallel in order to get this reporting functionality
When utilizing freeform tables in Analysis Workspace, it's very easy to accidentally drag a dimension like "Day" into the column space when I meant to drag it in as a row. Depending on the setup, this can create many, many dynamic columns, to the point where data is no longer visible, Adobe slows while retrieving a large matrix of data, and Chrome slows to a grinding halt attempting to render everything. The only option at that point is to destroy the entire table and start over, since you can't even get your mouse in to click and select the columns to delete.Could Workspace instead prompt the user if the number of columns created is over some reasonable amount (like 30) verifying that they are sure, before rendering the dynamic columns?
This is a suggestion to incorporate a feature that would auto-detect the implications of a new custom bot rule prior to saving the rule. The thought would be to have the tool function similarly to the current segment previewer that runs a check on historical data to detect what percentage of the population would be included in the segment. I suspect a similar check could be run to determine if a bot rule is too broad in definition, etc. Such a tool would help clients avoid expansive definitions that might be costly in nature and/or negatively affect legitimate traffic.
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
Often analysts question how traffic is falling into the "None" bucket, figuring all possible traffic has been configured to go into one of the defined buckets. Having a tool to test referrer's, etc to see where these would end up, similar to classification rule builder test option, could be helpful in both configuring and troubleshooting.FYI that I typically troubleshoot via the data feed with the condition tied to va_closer_id’s set to 0 (not documented, but assuming it means hit didn't fall into any of the marketing channels).
Allow for configuration of colors like you can do for conditional formatting. Right now this visualization displays data best against a positive goal, meaning more is good = green. What if you want to visualize costs and you don't want to go over a certain budget threshold? Allow not only changing of the scale but also defining whether high or low is good vs. bad.
This is a request to create continuity between Analytics products in terms of report delivery. For instance, DataWarehouse and DataFeed tools allow users to send data via sftp or even S3 while Analytics and ARB reports are limited in those capacities. In certain instances there may be security policies preventing delivery in some of these formats and/or other limitations. It would be helpful to have consistency between products to avoid confusion as well.
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,
It would be very efficient to be able to use a bar chart with a line in it to show more data.For example, I could use the bar to show numbers and the line for percentual growth, i.e. to show visits and revenue with conversion rate, as shown below.https://searchengineland.com/figz/wp-content/seloads/2013/06/column-line-combination-chart.jpg
I have been working with support to determine whether or not the inability to set s.linkName in the custom code section of a rule is by design or is a bug. Engineering came back and said that the functionality is by design but everyone I have discussed this with on Adobe's side has agreed that they would expect that if s.linkName is dynamically set in the custom code section, then the value from the input for link name should be overwritten. Currently that is not the case, but I am hoping we can get that functionality added for use cases where this is necessary.
Hi,This idea is related to a question I posted : Incorrect attribution of conversions to Target activities in Analytics(?)It would be great to be able to choose the attribution period. Currently there is no expiration, which means that conversions are attributed to a past activity even long after this activity was live. So, doing your Target activity evaluation one week after your test or one month after your test or 2 months after your test might result in ending up with a wrong conclusion related to that test (because of being impacted by many other external factors, campaigns & tests).Some people might now think "but you can do this in the Segment builder by creating a segment on visit level and selecting Activity (Analytics for Target) exists THEN conversion exists" (cfr next screenshot). But no.. the result will still be that conversions are attributed to activities that were active even long ago. Reason: the IF condition 'Activity (Analytics for Target) exists' does not expir
Hi,for a customer registration process we have a funnel report setup in reports (classic).This funnel uses events which are serialized via an event id (kind of transaction number set by tracked application itself).We use event serialization for this funnel because from business perspective it is the best match. In workspace we set up a funnel (fallout visualization) with the same events. The fallout displays different values. This is probably because in workspace you have to choose as fallout configuration based on visits or visitors. The problem is that our events use event ids and we need to configure the fallout in the same way in workspace - but this seems impossible. So how can we currently set up in workspace a fallout displaying the same values like the funnel in reports? From my understanding we need something like a third fallout configuration type "based on event id" besides existing visits or visitor configuration.We miss such fallout configuration in workspace. In (classic)
Nowadays, we can breakdown by position and this is great. However, I just can’t understand why this setting is turned off by default? Aren’t we always try to breakdown by position = give me TOP something. If there are special cases, we can always manually choose to filter SEO traffic if for some reason we want to always breakdown by SEO in last touch channels, or we could manually filter certain products if we want to week by week just to follow certain products. To me these are special situations and manual work would be just fine, but for my common sense it doesn’t make any sense that breakdowns aren’t ordered by position as default. I’ll give one example with screenshots.(Edit: Seems I can add only one screenshot, so I added combination of 5 and 6) 1) Added entries as metric and week as dimension. Time range is last 2 full weeks. Breakdown by position disabled by default.2) Added last touch channel as breakdown for weeks. Breakdown by position still disabled by default.3)
When running analyses on server call usage against reporting totals (e.g. occurrences for a given date range), data can be difficult to validate as a result of hits that were processed but excluded from reporting for whatever reason (exclude by IP, bots, etc). It would be helpful to itemize these counts in Server Call Usage reports to simplify these analyses.
User management in Adobe Analytics is one of the most "special" access and rights management configuration I have seen. Next to that, the possibility to share components (namely Segments, Calculated Metrics, Workspace Projects...) with Groups is only possible for Admin Users.So, imagine you configure different groups within your organization: one group per functional team. Adobe users within those teams cannot share specific Segments or Workspace Projects directly to their own team. They would need to do it user by user instead... If there are more than 10 people in one team, you understand it can quickly become annoying.Whishlist: allow non-admin users to see in sharing option pre-configured groups and allow them to share with these groups Segments, Calculated Metrics, Workspace Projects, etc they created_ _ _Update 1Linked idea: For Non-Administrators: Ability to SHARE Segments to a Select Group of People
It is possible to filter a dimension table in AW. However, I do not see an easy way to remove the filter again. Excel has the option, with one click, to remove a filter from a table. In WS I do not see anything else except clicking the filter, removing the text string, and clicking 'Apply'.Those are 3 actions, which I think is 2 too many.-->-->
The Processing rules manager interface is really hard to use with contextData when the contextData pass is too long.Will be nice to have an interface with a drag and drop like segment builder.
there are 2 scenarios I would like to see covered I want to allow a group of users to access classifications for a dimension but not the raw data in the dimension itselfI want to allow a group of users to access some but not all of the classifications
It would be great if there were an easy way to find all calculated metrics/segments that use a specific variable or combination for variables. For example, if there are 200 calculated metrics, it would be nice if you could filter them to see only those that use event3 or event3 and event5.
Its a best platform to get introduce with ADOBE PROFESSIONALS and I believe you all would be agree with me; the professionals we have here are authentic at least to those who pose (outside this platform) to be Adobe Professionals (even they hardly worked on the adobe tools) and most of time they cause of much embarrassment for both (clients & adobe) when they get unable to provide standardize solutions to the customers and cause them in terms of financial loss. My idea is why not we should create/promote a platform or at-least should initiate a step to use workforce (professionals) from within this platform for some freelance or short term projects. I'm not saying that everyone would be ready or will be ready but at-least it would help on both ends. Reduce the cost for the small businesses to their short-term projects and help professionals to earn more income who wants to put their valuable time to generate more income for their annual trip
