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.

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 [...]
