See What's New in Dynamic Tag Management for current and cumulative release notes, help, and documentation updates.

  • New Features in [!DNL Analytics] (Updated 8/21/2015): The deprecated SFTP key (communicated publicly in the Fall of 2013) used for transferring data warehouse reports and data feeds was permanently removed.

Reports & Analytics Fixes {#fixes_reports_analytics}

  • Updated the Classification Rule Builder with the Select Report Suites and Variables panel. This panel lets you add report suites and variables to an existing rule set. Previously, you specified the variable and report suite while creating the rule set. This change prevents reported issues occurring with classification variables.
  • Fixed a permissions issue that occurred when creating and editing segments. (AN-106175)
  • Fixed an issue that occurred when a user, after checking “Remember Me” on the login page, logged in and tried to modify a report that was sent via a link. This resulted in an “Access Denied” error. (AN-89504 + AN-107008)
  • Fixed an issue with hourly alerts not working properly on calculated metrics reports. (AN-105946)
  • Fixed an issue with the View All Reports search feature not working in IE 11. (AN-104672 + AN-102566)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the use of special characters (UTF-8 and multi-byte) in processing rules. (AN-102095)
  • Fixed an issue where the Product View metric was missing from the Product report. (AN-106692)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the scheduling of reports with a delivery frequency of Yearly. (AN-105562)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented scheduled dashboards with multi-byte characters from getting delivered. (AN-106309)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the Segment and User Management interfaces from loading. (AN-106627)
  • Fixed an issue that caused Segment Details to not be displayed. (AN-105185)
  • Fixed an issue with hourly alerts getting triggered incorrectly. (AN-97573 + AN-105946)
  • Fixed an issue that resulted in an error when creating targets that contained calculated metrics. (AN-104410)
  • Fixed an issue with calculated metrics in trended reports. (AN-105606)
  • Fixed an issue with daily alerts not matching the values shown in the Key Metrics report. (AN-105953)

Ad Hoc Analysis Fixes {#fixes_ad_hoc}

  • Fixed an issue that prevented users from sharing segments with certain other users in the Ad Hoc Analysis Segment Manager. (AN-105679)
  • Fixed an issue that occurred after the name (not the definition) of a calculated metric was changed and this resulted in different values being returned. (AN-106214)
  • Fixed an issue with Ad Hoc reports not loading properly when using "Time" as the metric type. (AN-105806)
  • Fixed an issue with hierarchy views not reporting data. (AN-103234)
  • Fixed an issue with the Ad Hoc Analysis Segment Builder not offering “Minute” as a Within option in sequential segmentation. (AN-105632)
  • Fixed an issue with statistics in Ad Hoc Analysis when report dimensions are used. (AN-105864)

Data Warehouse Fixes {#fixes_data_warehouse}

  • Fixed a Transactional Data Source data discrepancy between Reports &amp Analytics and Data Warehouse, regarding metric calculations for entry pages. (AN-102263)
  • Fixed an issue where some hits were not getting proper participation credit. (AN-106759)
  • Fixed an issue where applying a segment containing classifications for the First/Last Touch Channel report to a data warehouse report did not retrieve any data. (AN-89294)
  • Fixed an issue that caused crashes on column values larger than 2KB in size. (AN-106201, AN-106850)
  • Fixed a Tableau file issue where the [!DNL .csv] file extension was not added when .csv was part of the file name. (AN-106466)
  • Fixed an issue with Tableau files’ UTF-8 string handling in unicode fields. (AN-106467)

Clickstream Data Feed Fixes {#clickstream}

  • Update notice: We are updating our data feed delivery infrastructure. We are adding additional IP addresses to the pool that we already use to deliver data feeds. If you have IP white list on your FTP sites that data feeds are delivering to, you will need to add these additional IP addresses to that white list.

    • London: 185.34.189.0/27, addition scheduled August 13, 2015
    • Oakland: 192.243.248.32/27, addition scheduled August 20, 2015
    • Dallas: 66.235.153.96/27, addition scheduled August 27, 2015

  • When using Amazon S3 to deliver data, a newly implemented [!UICONTROL BucketOwnerFullControl] feature assigns permission for cross-account uploads, making it possible for a user to create objects in a bucket that belong to a completely different account. The Amazon Web Services (AWS) account owner creates a bucket, creates a user with permissions to create objects in the bucket, and then provides credentials for another user to create objects. See Configuring Data Feeds for complete information on this feature.

AppMeasurement and Mobile SDKs {#appmeasurement_sdk}

Marketing Cloud Visitor ID Service

Version 1.5.1

  • Fixed a bug to prevent the [!UICONTROL Visitor ID Service] from requesting an iframe if there's no data to synchronize or fire. (AAM-20164)

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the [!UICONTROL Visitor ID Service] from properly setting a multi-part, top-level domain cookie. For example, if you have a domain like my_company.co.uk, under some circumstances, the [!UICONTROL Visitor ID Service] would set a cookie in co.uk only. (AN-104683)

    This only affected a few clients that met all of the following criteria:

    • Using the Visitor ID Service.
    • Enabled a grace periodor are using first-party cookies and users block third-party cookies.
    • Have pages with multi-part, top-level domains.

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.
