| Feature/Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Unified Calculated Metrics | Calculated Metrics now allow for segmented metrics, more advanced math and the ability to organize and share metrics. You can create new metrics that apply historically without updating your implementation, share and curate metrics to remove the clutter and do basic statistical analysis. You can compare segments much more easily. You can apply these new metrics anywhere in Reports & Analytics, Analysis Workspace, Report Builder, and Ad Hoc Analysis. |
| Analysis Workspace - Freeform Analysis | Freeform Analysis lets you drag and drop dimensions, metrics, and segments to create any report that you want. You can break down your data for your specific needs, providing a canvas to build queries using relevant metrics, dimensions, segments, time lines, and other analysis breakdown values. The latest features include:
Freeform Analysis is currently in an open beta supported primarily by the Analytics community team. For up-to-date information and to pose questions about Freeform Analysis, see the Freeform Analysis (beta) forum . |
| Data Warehouse SFTP overwrite | SFTP now supports overwrite on transmission. We recommend that you upgrade your SFTP server to a version that supports rename. |
| Processing rules limit increase | The number of processing rules allowed has been increased from 100 to 150. Additionally, the allowed size of the processing rule XML has been increased to 4 MB (from 65 KB). This size change prevents an error that was being issued when the XML limitation was exceeded. |
| Report Builder | Support for new calculated metrics. |
| Ad Hoc Analysis | Support for new calculated metrics. The Calculated Metric Builder user interface in Ad Hoc Analysis now resembles that of Reports & Analytics. |
| Remove users who have blocked all cookies on desktop browsers |
Admin Tools > Report Suites > Edit Settings > General > Privacy Settings This feature allows Adobe Analytics customers to respect a user's intention to stop processing for profiling purposes. Laws and regulatory guidance have expressed that a user's action to block cookies is the same as a user's action to opt out from profiling. By enabling this feature, data collected from desktop and mobile browsers where the user has set its browser to block all cookies will be excluded from Analytics reports. If Adobe cannot recognize the web browser, data will be included in Analytics reports. |
Analytics Premium provides these additional new features in the Data Workbench 6.4 release:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Workbench 6.4 | |
| Exporting to Reports & Analytics | The Customer Record Service (CRS) export feature lets you export Data Workbench data to integrate with other Analytics' capabilities, including Reports & Analytics. |
| New Workstation installation | Set up the Data Workbench (Client) using a step-by-step installation wizard. Download, set options, install the workbench, and synch up with servers. |
| Enhanced Workstation Configuration Experience | After installation of the workstation, the Configure Connections to the Server workspace will open with additional information about installing a certificate and entering server connection information in the Insight.cfg file. You can also view the connection status to your servers and select profiles. |
| Presentation Layer | Annotate and clarify visualizations using a presentation overlay. Add text call-outs, arrows, images, and color coding to highlight and clarify your data, and then share with others. |
| New Metric Dimension wizard | Employ a step-by-step wizard to facilitate building metric dimensions. |
| User administration of group member access | Administrators can give workstation users the partial ability to manage access control for custom groups. |
| Prevent changes to profiles | Prevent profiles from being overwritten by users working in the Profile, Dimensions, Reports, Workspaces, Metrics, or Filters managers. |
| New Workstation user interface updates | Data Workbench 6.4 adds new workspace icons, tool tips, splash screens, and an <F1> shortcut to the help. It also lets you open your log files by selecting the Help > Open Trace Directory from the toolbar. |
| Updated Logging information | Data workbench now uses an expanded logging framework "L4" which provides the ability to configure logging based on the need. The default implementation that comes with the 6.4 package provides vital information on the software processing. Logging can be expanded with additional information to troubleshoot server events and help analyze underlying issues, including additional information for associated server, client and report server. For additional support in implementing additional L4 logging, please contact your account manager. |
| New cfg file for ExportIntegration.exe logging options | A new httpLoggingEI.cfg configuration file (located at server\Admin\Export\httpLoggingEI.cfg ) lets you stop INFO logging to the HTTP.log file during Export Integration exports. (The CRS, TNT, and MMP exports already capture verbose logging in individual export log files.) A true setting starts INFO logging (for testing and detailed reporting) to the HTTP.log file, and a false setting stops verbose logging. For a false setting, only a WARNING/ERROR level messages will be sent to the HTTP.log file. |
| Zoom feature for Graph visualizations | Use the zoom feature to better view metric labels when values reach a higher disparity. Previously the label would disappear with the change in the contrast of values-for example, when you set a higher metric regression value against previous values. You can now zoom in to the visualization by clicking <Ctrl> and moving the mouse wheel while hovering over the graph. |
| New Color Picker tool | A new color picker lets you select colors from a simple palette of colors, or select the Advanced tab to pick from a gradation scale or enter your own RGB values. |
| Finders now export more meta information | More meta information is provided when exporting dimensions and metrics from the Finder .
|
| Insight.exe and InsightSetup.exe are now digitally signed. | These executables are now digitally signed to ensure that the software downloads have not been altered or corrupted. |
| Date format options | You can change the date format based on your locale in the Standard Time Dimensions.cfg file. Change the default MM/DD/YYYY format to the DD/MM/YYYY format or choose other options. |
| Files visualization broken out | The Files visualization ( Admin > Files ) for Base profiles will not include larger directories (removed Logs, Exports, and Lookups) when reporting. This will increase the speed in displaying the report. The larger directories now have their own individual reports (Admin / Export Files, Lookup Files, and Log Files). |
| DeviceAtlas Transformations improved | The DeviceAtlas.bundle file now uses in-memory cache to greatly improve the performance of look-ups. |
| Updated Chord visualization | Improved visibility when hovering over a section when viewing the Chord visualization. |
| Drag dimensions from Finder to a Detail Table | From the workstation, you can now drag dimensions from Finder panel directly to the Detail Table in a workspace. |
- Fixed an issue that resulted in an error when trying to download a [!UICONTROL Last Touch Channel] report that included a date comparison and a calculated metric.
- Fixed an issue that occurred when trying to create the
item specific summarycampaign details report in PDF format. - Fixed a display error in [!UICONTROL Admin Tools]. When a user was deleted, the console showed that he or she was deleted by that same user.
- Fixed an issue that caused an instance of an eVar to be incremented if the value of the eVar was deleted or set it to
blank, using processing rules.
- Fixed an issue around report emails ( [!DNL .xls] and [!DNL .csv] attachments) that contained the report suite ID instead of the report suite name in the email. It now shows the report suite name.
- Propensity score was not resetting when rerunning different inputs in the same workspace. This now resets properly.
- An issue causing no countable dimensions to be available when first opening the Correlation Matrix has been fixed.
- Export of Target segments were failing because the
mboxPCfield was missing. This is now fixed. - ID request formatted correctly. Using the
mbox3rdpartyIdidentification instead of default PCIDs caused [!UICONTROL Adobe Target] to reject requests generated via the Target/Data Workbench integration (using the [!DNL ExportIntegration.exe]). This ID request is now being formatted correctly and throughput is successful. - A Report Server memory leak when exporting to Excel has been fixed.
-
Segments: Added data warehouse support for
event-existsoperator for non-event metrics. -
Segments: Added support for the
not-event-existsoperator. -
Segments: Added support for
timerange*. -
Made changes to Visit Time/Site Time business logic:
- Use
visit_start_time_gmtas the starting time of a visit. Now visits that started before the reporting date range are not negatively impacted. - Added a new breakdown category
Group L: No durationto classify visits that span zero seconds. Now these visits are no longer included in theGroup A: <1 minutetime bucket. - Transactional data source hits (hit_source=7) are no longer assumed to have a Visit duration.
- Time-stamped hits that are designated a timestamp earlier than
visit_start_time_gmthave absolute value applied to the time delta so they will not always automatically be categorized asGroup A: <1 minute.
- Use
