Analytics

New Features in Adobe Analytics {#features_analytics}

New features released in Adobe Analytics.

Product	Feature Name	Description
Analysis Workspace
	Tag a project during save	You can now add tags to a project while saving the project. More...
	Tags column in Project landing page	Added a Tags column on the Workspace landing page (project list page). This column displays the tags for each project. More...
	Export Flow visualizations as .CSV files	You can download Flow visualizations as .csv files, which lets you analyze Flow results within Microsoft Excel (visualized as a table) or elsewhere. More...
Calculated Metrics Builder
	Approximate Count Distinct	Approximate CountDistinct() enables you to count unique values for a dimension, and use this metric in any report. More...
	Adding Dimensions to Left Rail	Rather than leaving the Calculated Metric Builder in order to build a simple segment (in the Segment Builder), e.g. “Page = Homepage”, you can now drag in Page and select Homepage directly from the Calculated Metric Builder. This results in a much more streamlined workflow for creating segmented calculated metrics. More...
Intelligent Alerts
	Additional confidence intervals	For Anomaly Detection-based alerts, two new confidence levels (99.75% and 99.9%) have been added. The defaults for some granularity selections have also changed: hourly: now 99.75% daily: now 99% More...
Video Analytics
	Chromecast 2.0.1 VHL SDK	This version is a lighter and simpler implementation, which includes the following: Streamlined implementation and configuration. All of the configuration and video tracking API calls are centralized through one class, MediaHeartbeat . Clear differentiation between the optional and required video tracking APIs. Optional video tracking features, including chapter tracking, ad tracking, and bitrate change, are now tracked through one video tracking API, trackEvent .
	Concurrent Viewer data export	The Concurrent Viewer report data can now be exported outside Analytics reporting by using Web Service APIs. You can use the numbers in custom reporting tools or share the values with partners.
	Estimated Streams metric	The number of estimated streams per each individual playback is now available for reporting. The values are computed on Video Analytics Processing and are sent to Analytics via the Video Close call. This feature provides transparency for video billing.
Data Workbench 6.7
	New authentication model for Data Workbench Workstation (IMS integration)	Data Workbench Workstation now supports user authentication through username and password. With this new method, administrators can create and manage their own user accounts, eliminating the need to contact Customer Care. For more information, see Self-Provisioning of Users .
	Flat file lookup	Flat file lookup previously loaded the entire file into in-memory buffers, bloating memory usage and creating performance issues for other subsystems. The files can now be memory mapped and cached in Windows, optimizing memory usage by setting Memory Mapped Lookup Files to true in MemorySettings.cfg .
	Memory Usage	Large Page usage can now be disabled by setting Use Large Pages to false in MemorySettings.cfg . See Monitoring Memory Usage for more information.
	Security ciphers	Added support for ECDHE and DHE.
	Email support in User List.cfg	Added support for Email attribute in User List.cfg . For more information, see User Administration of Group Members .
	Help Menu	Help menu now shows a shortcut to Open Certificates directory.
	TargetBulkUpload export	URLs will be provided at the end of the export trace file and the targetbulkuploadexportname.log.completed file to track the record of stuck batches. A new file, TargetBulkUpload.cfg , has been provided to configure the Max Timeout interval (in minutes). The file is found in Server\Admin\Export\.
