Analysis Workspace allows users to create down down menus using dimensions and segments, but the amount of space allotted to the drop down is fairly narrow. As a result dimensions or segments that have long names are truncated, and the full name can only be seen by hovering over menu item. Two solutions that would allow drop down menu options to be more visible:Allow friendly names to be used that do not rename the underlying segment or dimension item. This is similar to label editing in an Analysis Workspace visualization.Allow the drop down menu widths to be adjustable.

I have some stakeholders who want reports sent every quarter (instead of every month or every week). It would be great if one could schedule Workspace Projects to send with a quarterly cadence.

Came across an issue where the other party wanted numeric data specifically. Anything else would break the integration.So here is the idea:Allow for segments to be built on certain data types such as numeric, boolean, string, integer, etcAllow for segments to recognize space in a condition (ex: if evar1 contains space)

Hi Team,I am generating a report using DWH. I used Traffic variables, In the report head,  I am seeing the variable number say prop61, prop62, prop63 appended to the variable name as below Page Name(prop63), Page ID(prop64). Could you please provide an option to show or hide the variable number in the column header?   

I noticed a major privacy problem with API 2.0 while testing out the possibilities of restricted permissions for normal users:Using the command https://analytics.adobe.io/api/[mycompany]/users?limit=[XX] a normal user can get a list of all users in a given organization. This may pose a privacy issue as a normal user should not be able to see the usernames, admin status, email, first & last name, phone number, and title. Those are highly personalized information on any given user. Usually, I would think that only admins can get access to this information. Even though a "normal" user has no writing rights to manage, change or create users this is still a problem.Client Care says that the function is working as intended but this feature should not be an intended function for API 2.0. Please change this so that only admins can use this function and normal users only get information on their own account with https://analytics.adobe.io/api/[mycompany]/users/me.

It would be helpful to have a "last used" type of timestamp or something similar on segments in order to be able to determine if a segment or set of segments is in use or has ever been used to assist with making decisions surrounding segment cleanup initiatives.

Especially with the push towards virtual report suites, it seems increasingly useful/necessary to have a way to convert currency from what the originally-specified currency code for a report suite is set as. Although virtual report suites allow the user to change the time zone, it does not allow you to change the currency code for revenue reporting. I think the better solution than updating the currency code at the VRS level may even be to just have standard revenue metrics with the conversion rates built in. My company, for one, has groups of stakeholders that often look at UK/EU properties together, but the employees may prefer either GBP or EUR for their reporting. It would be great to allow them the flexibility of reporting in whichever currency they wish regardless of the report suite settings.

If a calculated metric is used within another calculated metric, the nested calculated metric does not retain a link to the original.  Instead the nested calculated metrics is a copy of the original.  This means if the original calculated metric is changed the nested calculated metrics is unaffected.Current behaviour:Caculated metrics 'A' is nested in Calculated 'B'Calculated metric 'B' actually contains a copy Calculated Metric 'A'When the original Calculated Metric 'A' is changed the copy within Calculated metric 'B' is unaffectedTherefore, when calculated metric 'A' needs updating it is necessary to change the original metric and every copy individually (inefficient)Please can you consider making nested calculated metrics retain a link to the original to prevent us having to make changes in multiple places?

As an admin it would be useful to be able to filter for segments that are shared (but not necessarily shared with me) 

Adobe captures a session timestamp. That timestamp, at present, is not surfaceable in processing rules. Understandable becauuse processing rules do not have regex or parsing capabilities. However, the atoms of that session timestamp, and associated metadata, are very valuable to a researcher. These include: "As a researcher, I want to cross the HH:MM with a video name so that I can calculate an AMA.""As a researcher, I want to cross the day of the week with a pagename so that I can compare Monday traffic patterns to Sunday traffic patterns in aggregate.""As a researcher, I want to cross HH:MM with timezone with a video so that I can understand how timeparting and timezones affects AMA." If specific components of the timestamp could be surfaced in processing rules, multiple timeparting features could be enabled. (The implementor would assign that data to specific variables to taste). A concrete example: a.hour  : expected value 00, 01, 02, 03 ... 22, 23a.minute: expected value 00...59a.

The multi chart functionality works on ranked reports but not on trended reports even though it makes it look like you can do this.  Would like this functionality on trended reports for the same reason it exists on ranked reports.  Also even with ranked reports when they are added to the dahboard they no longer show the multiple charts.  

We're currently looking at importing offline sales data in order to help us evaluate the performance of our optimisation campaigns.  Ideally I want to be able to look at the A4T ranked report with a number of online metrics and our offline sale metric. I've attached a screenshot which shows the standard A4T ranked report and the Sales metric that is being imported using Data Sources.  Currently we're importing the sales metric as event11 and correlating with purchaseID, so when I look at the purchaseID report against event11 I'm seeing data as expected. However, if I try to breakdown A4T activity reporting by purchaseID and then tie to event11 it will show all as zeros. I'm assuming this is because the sales event is only correlated with the purchaseID but not the A4T activity report.  It would be extremely useful to be able to evaluate Target campaign performance against offline data that forms a key part of the end to end purchase funnel.

I would love to see the ability to limit User capabilities within Analysis Workspace. I continue building out beautiful visualizations that someone destroys based on things they weren't supposed to click on. Right now all I can do is limit their ability to create and curate, but not edit. I would like to take away certain users ability to edit these dashboard but continue to leverage the interactive capabilities of Analysis Workspace. I spent more time re-building broken dashboards based on user error than anything else which is devaluing the tool.

It would be really beneficial to be able to download all data from workspace project into csv format. At present you can only download the current page data, and when wanting to split data by, for example. a customer ID and by multiple metrics this is not possible.

I created a rollup across 15 suites and noticed report builder can't pull the data in. Please give this ability, so we can easily schedule reports.

We want to create an Alert to tell us when a Tracking Code is outside the bounds of accepted codes, to tell us when a marketing person has created an improper code. But I notice when I drag Tracking Code dimension to the "filter" section, the UI ONLY allows for "equals" checking. This isn't feasible because we cannot possibly anticipate every badly formatted code. I tried using an asterisk, but that doesn't work either.Ideally we would like the Alerts to allow for "contains" or "starts with", etc., similar to what is available for segment creation.  We use a standardized format for tracking codes per web property, so for instance for a certain web property we should only have tracking codes matching the format of EM_01_(whatever).  So an alert we'd like is if a tracking code ever is something like EM_02_*, EM_03_*, etc.

There is no way to tell which feeds are paused. Maybe add it to Status? Also it is not obvious how to resume a paused feed.

Hi Team,Reaching out here for basically a 'Product enhancement' so as to help client leverage the Alerts functionality(within Analytics) better.The ask is to trigger an alert(notify a registered user on the client side) when the current day's data falls by more than a particular percentage(say 30%) when compared to the same metric number for the same day last week. For example: We would like to compare today's visits data(Tuesday) with last Tuesday's data.Based on my understanding, this cannot be configured based on the current set of available configurations. Feel free to add to this if necessary.Any thoughts/ideas/workarounds are most welcome.

Ascena, the parent of Ann Taylor has added Box Accounts (similar to DropBox) as the preferred way to receive scheduled reports.  Can Adobe add this to its product lines, especially Analytics.Tom PonosukAnalytics Lead, Ann Taylor, LOFT, Lou and Grey (Ann Inc, division of Ascena)

i really love the anomality detection to get a hint where something is wrong. but having big workspace dashboards makes it hard to fund the anomlities ...New textbox with anomalities summaryhow about a new text box (similar to the visualization "text") which has a list of all visualizations where an anomality has been detected. and to make it great, the list is hyperlinked to the visualization  

Hello, As a user, I want to be informed by a short text message that the feature I am trying to use is not available for X reason. Example : I tried to select a segment on a report (key metrics) running on a rollup report suite. I couldn't know/ remember/ spent time to read the help section/... so I wasted my time and the one of Adobe Customer Care people to get the simple answer : segments are not available for rollup report suite. A simple text message close to the feature position ("segments are not available for rollups") would have helped a lot and spare time to many people. Instead of that there was a blank space which is confusing for a user, and let me believe it was a bug.... Thanks.

We created a Virtual Report Suite with limited data access so one of our partners can create workspaces on their own.  I created a group specially for these people.  One of the hang-ups we are running into is when they create a Workspace Project and want to share, they have access to all users in the Org, not just their group which is a big security concern.  We do not want users visibility into all users.  We'd like to see it limited to the groups the "sharing user" is a member of.  Example:There  are 200 users & three Groups in the Org; GroupA, GroupB & GroupC. UserA is a member of GroupB & GroupC that have 15 & 20 users respectively. When UserA creates a workspace project and shares it, they should only be able to see & share to the other 34 users in GroupB & GroupC.

Hi, Currently in Adobe, we use a few calculated metrics that rely on averages. We use arithmetic mean when calculating Average Order Value(Sum of Revenue divided by Sum of Orders) and Average Selling Price (Sum of Revenue divided by Sum of Units). Unfortunately, when applying these calculated metrics to a smaller population or segmented data set in Adobe Analytics, the mean does not account for outliers. It would be nice if calculated metrics had a harmonic mean function.

It would be nice if there were configuration variables in the library, something like s.queryParamOverrides = firstName, first_name, fname, address ....s.queryParamOverrideValue = foo wherein a list of query parameters can be overwritten with the value contained in s.queryParamOverriveValue. Many of us face data protection issues and adding the option to strip or override these values would be a great help in helping/simplifying things. Cheers Kevin

Make them more like Classification Rule Builder Rules, where you create a rule and specify what report suite(s) it should apply to.  It is a NIGHTMARE having to maintain PRs across hundreds of report suites!
