I’ve been spending some time with Omniture Discover lately. What a truly amazing product Discover is, I’m almost speechless.
Unfortunately it does have a few rough edges here and there, character encoding difficulties being an example.
This is what the Danish characters æ ø and å looks like inside Discover: (perfect)
This is the same data after being [...]
I’ve been writing about Omnitures way of dealing with timzones previously, since then a few changes has been made to both the SiteCatalyst and the Data Warehouse report scheduler.
SiteCatalyst
When setting the scheduling options in a report scheduled for later delivery in SiteCatalyst You’ll see a dialog box pretty much like this, notice the lack off timezone [...]
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:
As usual, switching back [...]
Some time ago, on October 22, Omniture announced the availability of http://customers.omniture.com/.
Early today on November 4. the site wasn’t very much available, as it went down together with Omniture Sitecatalyst. It’s hard to say precisely what went wrong, but my guess is that the loginsystem on customers.omniture.com shares some resources with the normal Omniture [...]
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 view (this view [...]
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 especially noticed [...]
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 [...]
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 metrics selected [...]
In Sitecatalyst there is something called Classifications a.k.a SAINT (SiteCatalyst Attribute Importing and Naming Tool), in short this is a really nice feature that can be used to tie meta-data to existing data in SiteCatalyst, if this sounds strange, think of it as a very effective way of grouping large amounts of data into groups [...]
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 at an [...]
