Important
In January 2016, Adobe will end support for Internet Explorer 9 and 10. You can continue to use earlier browser versions, but Adobe will not test against earlier versions, and will not fix any issues with them. Your browser experience may degrade over time, and you run a security risk by using such a browser. Adobe strongly recommends that you upgrade to a supported version.
Important
In January 2016, Adobe will disable SSL v3 protocol support for security purposes, and end SSL v3 traffic for [!DNL Adobe Analytics] data collection. Adobe will be reaching out to customers that are significantly impacted by this action soon.
| Feature/Change | Description |
|---|---|
| Ad Hoc Analysis: Creating segments from fallout reports |
A change was made to how Ad Hoc Analysis creates segments from a Fallout Report. Previously, the segment you created from the Fallout Report ignored any segments applied at the report or workspace level and only included sequential rules for the checkpoints in the report. To get the segment generated on the Fallout Report to produce the same numbers as the Fallout Report, we now embed the segment(s) from the report and workspace level into each checkpoint from the fallout report. (AN-107416) |
| Analysis Workspace: Project Landing Pages |
Analysis Workspace > More > Set as Landing Page In the Actions menu in Analysis Workspace , you can set a project as your landing page. You can also set a project as the landing page for others. To do so, enable Set as Landing Page for Recipients when sharing a project . |
| Data Warehouse: Column Case Sensitivity |
Changes were made to column case sensitivity: In the past, Data Warehouse reported versions of case-insensitive variables that were not encountered in the data at all. With this fix, Data Warehouse will report the first value encountered in the reporting period. (AN-93365, AN-99194, AN-101916, AN-106345). |
| Data Warehouse: Segment Stacking |
Added support for multiple segments (segment stacking) to Data Warehouse. When selecting multiple segments, the preview area now shows a comma-separated list of names (e.g. Segment 1, Segment 2). We also updated the Request Manager page and the Request Detail popup window to display the comma-separated list. (AN-100893) |
| Reports & Analytics: E-Commerce Tracking |
We have enabled e-commerce tracking for all report suites that previously did not have it. In some rare cases, report suites were set up without e-commerce reporting capabilities (eVars, custom events, shopping cart metrics, etc.). Data processing will not change, but some users may notice that e-commerce metrics and dimensions that were previously hidden will now show up in their reports. Key areas affected are menus and metric lists. These additional metrics and dimensions will show up in the APIs as well. This change impacts mostly non-commerce web sites that do not count revenue and other e-commerce-related metrics. You can disable these metrics in Admin > Report Suites > Success Events . Any unwanted dimensions can be filtered using the menu customizer. AN-112573 |
| Reports & Analytics: Page Views metric |
Going forward, the 'Summary' pathing reports (e.g. Page Summary) for props will correctly label the metric in the report as Instances rather than Page Views. This will not impact standard Custom Traffic/prop reports. (AN-108441) |
| Reports & Analytics: Hierarchy Views metric |
To improve consistency throughout Analytics, the Hierarchy Views metric is being renamed to Page Views, and an Instances metric will be made available in the Hierarchy report. Before August 2015, the Hierarchy Views metric was equivalent to Instances. From 20 August 2015 to 15 October 2015, the Hierarchy Views metric was equivalent to Page Views as a result of a change in the system. Removing the Hierarchy Views metric entirely will ensure that users have a better understanding of the data it represents, because they’ll be able to use either Page Views or Instances explicitly. AN-108569 |
| Reports & Analytics: Real-Time reports |
In Real-Time reports, you can now compare current data to last week’s and last year’s values (as well as the total for today). |
| Reports & Analytics: Hide metrics and events |
You can now hide standard (built-in) metrics, custom events, and built-in events in the Menu, Metric Selectors, Calculated Metric Builder, and Segment Builder. Change metric/event visibility by going to Admin > Report Suites > Edit Settings > Conversion > Success Events and setting the Visibility column to either Visible Everywhere , Metric Builder only , or Hidden Everywhere . This setting does not impact the data collection for that metric; it affects only its visibility in the user interface. AN-97634 |
| Reports & Analytics: Export to CSV |
An Export to .CSV option is now available in the Segment Manager, Calculated Metric Manager, Project Manager and Date Range Manager interfaces. |

Providers can make feeds private when they are offering special deals or other exclusive offers to selected customers. See Private Data Feeds in the Audience Marketplace documentation . (AAM-16621) |
