Have you ever noticed that some of the SiteCatalyst Report Settings appear to have a life of their own ? You know, You change a setting, and then later on, say late in the evening when you are working at home, the setting is suddenly back to where it was before you changed it, but [...]

A few days ago while trying to rearrange our Campaign classifications, I found yet another SiteCatalyst conversion classification editor issue. You can’t date enable a classification, and by the way disabling an already date enabled classification won’t work either. I do think the Conversion classification editor has been having quite a few issues lately. Workaround: [...]

A maintenance release a couple of months ago had a strange side effect on our report suites. The first Custom report viewed after logging in gets the report date set to 1. Jan 1969 – 31. Dec 1969. This is how it looks in ranked view : And this is how it looks in trended [...]

Another maintenance release from Omniture, and this time the release notes includes a list of fixes made to SiteCatalyst, thank you Omniture ! Well at least most of the fixes, as far as I can see the changes/fixes made to the admin area of SiteCatalyst they don’t really get mentioned in the release notes. I’ve [...]

Although Numeric Classifications are having a few issues I still think it’s a great feature in Sitecatalyst. However, now that our Numeric Classifications just suddenly for no apparent reason started working, I’ve noticed a few peculiar things about the way they work on our report suites. Sorting Numeric Classifications creates new metrics you can use [...]

The release note for the Aug 27 maintenance release is a bit different from usual, there is no word on any fixes made to SiteCatalyst. It’s not that they didn’t fix anything in SiteCatalyst, on the contrary actually they fixed at least a few very long lasting issues. This is what I’ve found so far: [...]

The option to customize the menu structure is a feature in SiteCatalyst I really appreciate. It’s literally possible to turn everything upside down if that’s what you want. In our company we have rearranged quite a few things and made some very often used custom reports available in the menu with the right set of [...]

I’ve been mentioning character encoding problems before, but during the last week I discovered even more of these problems, so it’s time for another post on the subject. Under certain circumstances the reports from SiteCatalyst can become really … well lets just say, less useful. It may be difficult to imagine how a few character [...]

Many things evolve to the better over time, the way Omniture handles character encoding in SiteCatalyst, is for sure not one of these things. Non US-ASCII characters were often handled poorly a year ago, and they still are, if not even worse. So, what am I talking about here ? Well, lets have a look [...]

Not that I keep track, but I’m still pretty sure that among Clickmap and ExcelClient related questions, one of those I hear the most, is where to find / how to install the plugins. And judging from some of the search engine traffic hitting this blog, I’m not alone. It’s not that Omniture is hiding [...]
