Core Services

Marketing Cloud Interface {#marketing_cloud_interface}

Version 15.7 planned release: **July 22, 2015 **

  • Fixed an issue that prevented attribute descriptions specified on the View/Edit Schema page (in customer attributes) from being updated in Analytics reports. (MAC-25985)
  • Fixed an issue preventing the thumbnails from rendering for uploaded assets. (MAC-25863)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented new segments created in reports &amp analytics from being available in Marketing Cloud Audiences. (MAC-25817)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented audience sharing from Analytics, when using the visitor ID service. (MAC-25788, MAC-25747)
  • Added support for multibyte characters in customer attributes. (MAC-25552)

Known Issue

A known issue is causing duplicate auto-generated accounts to be created in Audience Manager, and automatically linking them to a user's Marketing Cloud identity. This issue occurs if you attempt to navigate to Audience Manager before linking your accounts. Adobe recommends that you link your Audience Manager accounts to the Marketing Cloud before navigating to Audience Manager. (MAC-25640)

See Marketing Cloud Product Documentation for product help.

New Features in [!DNL Analytics] {#features_analytics}

Release date: July 16, 2015

Feature Description
Changes to the group permission settings in the Analytics Admin Console

Analytics > Admin > User Management > Groups

You can now allow group access to some individual traffic metrics, along with all events and other metrics. The Conversion Reports report group has been replaced by the Metrics report group. More...

As part of this maintenance release, a migration of settings will take place for all groups:

Analytics LiveStream hit smoothing

Hit smoothing buffers data to provide a smoothed rate of flow for messages. Hit smoothing is useful in several scenarios, such as when incoming to a live dashboard is coming in bursts or is unpredictable. In such cases, having the data smoothed provides a smoother look to the updates.

To enable hit smoothing, add a query string parameter "smoothing=1" to the end of the LiveStream connect URI. For example, if a LiveStream connect URI is:

https://livestream.adobe.net/api/1/stream/mystream1

The hit smoothing version would be:

https://livestream.adobe.net/api/1/stream/mystream1?smoothing=1

See LiveStream Hit Smoothing documentation in the Developer Connection.

Analytics for Target (A4T) Lift and Confidence report

Added Lift and Confidence report to Analytics and to Target Standard. More...

We are also adding dimensions and metrics from Target to Ad Hoc Analysis.

You will be able to assess the success of campaigns in Adobe Analytics in the same way you have done in Target Classic in the past.

Report Builder correlation breakdown menu

Added a separate correlation breakdown next to the Breakdown menu when right clicking on a cell with an Analytics dimension value.

Remove users who block all cookies on desktop browsers

We updated the interface instructions for using the template segment described on the Privacy Settings page at:

Admin Tools > Report Suites > Edit Settings > General > Privacy Settings

The Remove users who have blocked all cookies on desktop browsers setting prevents Adobe Analytics from reporting on site visitors who block all cookies on desktop browsers. When active, Analytics reports and projects exclude data collected from desktop browsers that do not accept cookies. If Adobe cannot recognize the browser, Analytics reports will include its data. A template segment is available to see what a report looks like if this setting is enabled.

Analytics Classification Rules - overwrite existing values

In Admin Tools > Classification Rule Builder > <rule set name>, two new options enable you to select an overwrite mode:

  • Rules overwrite any existing values: (Default setting) Always overwrite existing classification keys, including classifications uploaded via the importer (SAINT).
  • Rules overwrite only unset values: Only fill in blank (unset) cells. Existing classifications will not be changed.

Previously, if a key was already classified in any column or cell, the rule would not run on that key, and the row in the table was skipped.
