Product Communities

I understand that there was once a time when the cost to supply and maintain Adobe Analytics was based directly on the number (and size) of server calls being processed and stored.  I would guess that this is no longer one of the main operating costs in providing and supporting Adobe Analytics client companies. I'm not saying that bigger companies with higher volume shouldn't pay more than smaller ones with lower volume.  But, the strict 1:1 relationship between server calls and dollars presents a perverse economic incentive that twists implementation design and methodology in ways that don't best serve the goal of providing good information for analytics. The primary example of this can be seen in the implementation of a product detail page on an e-commerce website.  We have a few things that we might want to track on this page: The load of the page itself (for AA traffic reporting, Pathing, etc). The product view for the primary product (or products on the page). Impressions of cross

Right now it is not possible to create product profiles via the API, but only manually within the Admin Console. Since this is very time consuming and annoying, it would be great if it will be changed.

when I try to transfer an asset from one user to the other, I have 3 things that makes the process slow. I kindly request the following changes to the "asset transfer process"1) by default all categories/assets are checked. that means if I only want to transfer some of all the items, I first need to disable/uncheck all categories before starting to select. since the most common case is to transfer single items:=> set "unchecked" all items by default2) transferring single assets from a user with a huge library can be a mess. I would love to search for names/tags as it is possible in any other asset manager screen (eg. project manager, segment manager,...)=> implement an option to search for names/tags3) when transferring assets from an admin to a non admin user, the receiver gets admin rights. that means I need to hot to admin console and undo the change.=> add option to disable "admin" propagation

See in the Admin Console > under Products > Permissions. How do I get a lising of the Metrics, Dimensions, etc… So what I need is a csv of the 1,400+ Metric, the 580+ Dimensions, the 50+ Report Suite Tools and the 35+ Analytics Tools.Also a short definition of each item in the Report Suite Tools and the Analytics Tools would be very useful.

The "Devices" Report, probably based on data from DeviceAtlas.com is not really useful, since it contains the device identifier in the Name string and thus does not group equivalent devices. There are e.g. dozens (hundreds?) of "Galaxy S7" devices which are all the same, but have slightly differing names. Utilisation of more inclusive DeviceAtlas tables would be beneficial here. Today, we don't know our most common Android devices -- especially since the Devices Report can not be classified.For example: https://sc5.omniture.com/x/5_1uf35 lists all "Galaxy S7" devices. However, - Orange Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F)- Verizon Galaxy S7 (SM-G930V)- T-Mobile Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T)and dozens of others are all listed as individual devices. This is not at all helpful when trying to understand common hardware in your userbase. It would already be helpful if "Device Name" would be available in two variable, e.g. "Samsung Galaxy S7" and "SM-G930". Even better if these variables would be classifieable.

I depend a lot on the use of Workspace Templates in my usage.  Now that we have all of the standard templates and a growing number of custom templates, the initial "All Templates" tab is pretty long for me.But I, personally, tend to use just a few of those templates (but I use those few many times a day).I would like to be able to tag or mark as "favorite" templates - the effect of which is then to have a new (default) tab in the New Project dialog that shows me just my favorited templates (but still leave the "All", "Standard" and "Custom" tabs in that dialog).  This would empower the user to control their work environment and help improve productivity.This is related to idea 10402 - "Ability to hide standard templates" - taking a different approach to the same problem.

I am shocked that this isn't already supported.

Hello ActivityMap developers!ProblemWhen I use the ActivityMap plugin on a given page, it only lets me select the report suite(s) currently populated in s.account variable on the page.  I understand the logic behind this probably has something to do with ensuring users only select the correct report suite(s) for a given page, and it seemed easiest to ensure this by referencing s.account on a given page. However, In practice, this does not work in practice for a lot of our clients. A lot of our clients dynamically populate s.account based on a variety of things, such as logged in user type, or IP address.  So for example visitors on their network (employees) will pop an internal rsid instead of the normal visitor rsid.  But since ActivityMap only allows you to select what s.account pops with, many of our clients are unable to make use of it for the data they actually want to look at 99% of the time - visitor activity (vs. activity for their own internal rsid). One "workaround" to this i

We need a time segment that take current weekday and compare it to average of the same weekday the last 12 weeks. Eg. One section has xx pageviews this Friday - and to find out if its high or low level, we need the average of the last 12 weeks, on the same day. As we are a news publisher house, we cannot just compair with yesterday or same day last week, as everyday is affected of todays history. The segment is required to be rolling dates as we wan't to display the numbers in a data visualization app.

There should be a feature that let's you add notes and events to charts and graphs, so you can remember specific events during quarterly or annual reviews.

Hi,I think it would be nice to add this option on future developments:The idea would be to expand panels and visualisations in panels when a project is sent on schedule as PDFIt would avoid to receive by mistake blank PDF with closed panels.Please vote if you agree

It looks like currently s.clearVars clears just about everything BUT pageName:function(){var c,b;for(c=0;c<a.g.length;c++)if(b=a.g[c],"prop"==b.substring(0,4)||"eVar"==b.substring(0,4)||"hier"==b.substring(0,4)||"list"==b.substring(0,4)||"channel"==b||"events"==b||"eventList"==b||"products"==b||"productList"==b||"purchaseID"==b||"transactionID"==b||"state"==b||"zip"==b||"campaign"==b)a[b]=void 0}The problem is, on single page apps (which is probably the biggest use case for using clearVars), I need pageName cleared out as well.For instance, I have some logic that sets the pageName based on the URL, but only if s.pageName hasn't already been set for that beacon. The problem is, if pageName is ever set, it hangs around, so it always looks like s.pageName is set, even if it wasn't set for that beacon. I'm having to run clear vars, THEN go in and manually clear out s.pageName as well. This affects the Launch Adobe Analytics extension "clear vars" action as well, since that just uses the

I found a bug in the admin section of Adobe Analytics. If you select multiple report suites, and edit Traffic Variables / Commerce Variables / Success Events, it will show you “Multiple” if there are different names, settings, etc. – If you click on “Multiple”, you will be able to see the different names/settings and you are able to overwrite the value if you want to.This works perfectly for every link but for the Type of Success Events. If you click on “Multiple” for a Type, it won’t show you the different types (Disabled, Counter, …), but it will show you the different names. So it happens the same as if you click on “Multiple” in the name column, but you aren’t able to inspect the type differences.It would be great if you could quickly solve the bug, as we’re currently comparing report suite differences, and need to compare the types of our success events.Best,Stefan

When scheduling weekly reports in Data Warehouse it asks "Day of Week" which since Monday to Sunday is all day of week, and doesn't tell you anything, could this be changed to "Week Begins" so it makes sense.

I found difficult to select the segment in data warehouse while creating a report. Adding a Search/Filter option will help the user to search the Segment instead of scrolling and choosing the segment. Please refer the screengrab below

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?

Hi Adobe Forum, When I create one segment in Adobe Analytics, I used custom dimensions (evar variables), and the "Contains" clause appears in my operator option. However, when I drag "Countries" or "Languages" (OOB dimensions) down to the criteria, and choose my operator, there is no "Contains" like derived dimensions under my option. I am wondering if this is always the case that OOB dimensions never had "Contains" operator as the option? If so, would that be possible to have the "Contains" clause under the operator for OOB dimensions in the UI? Thanks,

Hi,I think that as a business, it's important to have flexibility on selecting reporting and reference dates so that we can get MTD vs previous MTD or YTD vs previous YTD. Example: - May 12 2019 we had 1000 visits- May 12 2018 we had 950 visits (ref period)This would require to be able to define the pretended reporting period time vs reference period time as we used to have with DaX Comscore. Is it possible to add that functionality? Thanks

Virtual Report Suites have been a fantastic new feature, but they're not compatible across the entire Adobe Analytics platform.  It would be great if their compatibility could include Data Warehouse.  With the enhanced permissioning recently introduced, there are some users who I may only grant access to a Virtual Report Suite, rather than the full report suite, yet I want them to be able to use and take advantage of full Adobe Analytics tool capabilities.

If you have a report in workspace using an event, something like product views as your metric and week as your dimension, and you see a drop in views in the last week and you want to see which day that started on, you would break it down by day. However, when breaking down by day, it will give you a list of all days in your time period, not just the days in the week you are breaking down, like this:I don't understand why this would be the case. I would expect to only see the days in the week I am breaking down. One thing to note, when I do that same type of report but use a standard metric (like visits, page views) then this issue doesn't happen (I only see the days of the week I am breaking down).

We have found that we can include in a Data Feed (in order to ingest that data in our Data Lake) the Last and First Touch Channel ID. Not the name of the channel, because, being processed data is imposible to have the name in the hit.But there is no way to have a matching table, because it´s not possible to automate an export of the Marketing Channels names with the ID, we can export the variables using a DWH, but there´s no variable for the ID.It will be very useful to be able to program export of the Marketing Channels definition with IDs and corresponding names.

Now that certification for Processing Rules is no longer required, it should be time to open up a Save method for processing rules in the APIPresently the only method available is 'ViewProcessingRules' in the 'ReportSuite' APIAs a company with dozens of active RSIDs with standardized Processing Rules, a change in one rule set is a pain to roll out everywhereHaving a Save method for Processing rules would make it easy to update across Report Suites, as it is done now with variables/events

Currently we duplicating query using the below option,"Right Click > Copy Request" then "Right Click > Paste > Absolute Input" We need shortcut like "Ctrl + C" to copy and "Ctrl + V" to Paste Absolute Input, which helps create many queries in short time.RegardsAshok

The mobile device reports all show the version of a device (ie Samsung Galaxy, Verizon Galaxy) for everything but Apple devices.This needs fixed.  Currently the only way to break down by screen resolution and even that isn't very helpful.  

Current we have option to add prepend/postpend Text to Line Item in report builder.By introducing Trim option in Line Item we can get better report.Example: Pagename has captured as "SG:HomePage:Product1:SubProduct1", i only want to display "SubProduct1" in visualization. Currently we use excel formula to trim these data. Whenever Line Item has increased we need to manually extent these formula, due to these reason unable to automate some reports.RegardsAshok
