SITECATALYST 14.0 USER GUIDE III

CHAPTER 1
Omniture Suite Overview
The Omniture Suite is a user interface that serves as an umbrella interface for other Omniture applications. From the
Omniture Suite, you can access the other applications and use can use the Omniture Suite to perform functions that are
common to multiple Omniture applications. In other words, the Omniture suite serves as the reporting and processing
platform for all omniture applications. The Omniture Suite lets you:
• Configure your reporting and alert options
• Access add-on applications such as ClickMap and the Excel Client
• Configure features common to all Omniture applications
• Configure your data collection and processing functions
For example, bookmarks are part of the Omniture Suite because they are common to all Omniture applications. When you
set up your bookmarks in the Omniture Suite, you can access all your bookmarks from all your applications by selecting
them from the Omniture Suite interface. This lets you move freely between applications by selecting a simple bookmark.
Another function attached to the Omniture Suite is reporting. You can configure the look and feel of your reports in the
Omniture Suite, then all similar reports in any Omniture application inherit the configuration settings. This prevents you
from having to do it individually in each application.
Other functions accessed from the Omniture suite work similarly. The Omniture Suite has been designed to make using all
Omniture applications more convenient and intuitive.

Different report suites can display different sets of data from your Web site, or more commonly, they display data from
different Web sites that you organization controls. The suites can be created and defined from within the Administration
Console. See the Administration Console User’s Guide for information on doing this.
Figure 2.4 shows an example of a report suite list.
Figure 2.4: Report Suite List Menu

The report suite list has several options. You can use the field at the top to search and filter your list. For example, if you
type the letter d in the field, all report suite names that contain the letter d in them display. Strings filter the list further.
You can also click a name from the list. If you click the View complete list link, a scroll bar appears that you can use to
scroll through all available report suites.

and tools to help you manage your account. Figure 2.6 shows the location of the menus.
Figure 2.6: Omniture Suite Menu

Each of these is described briefly here. Detailed descriptions and procedures occur later in this manual.

Analysis Tools
The SiteCatalyst Analysis Tools menu option gives you access to several download links for several enhancement tools that
you can use in conjunction with your Omniture applications. This menu is accessed from the arrow next to the SiteCatalyst
icon. In addition to the following descriptions, each tool listed here is described in the SiteCatalyst User’s Guide:
• Reporting - This open a link to the page views report.
• ClickMap - The ClickMap feature lets you view information about visitor response to content directly from your Web
site. While you browse your Web site, pop-ups display information about visitors and what they accessed on your Web
site.
• Dashboard Player - This tool lets you push your dashboard content directly to your desktop. The player displays the
dashboard content, one reportlet at a time and can be launched either on a dedicated display, or in a separate window
on the user desktop, or as a Screen Saver.
• DirectAccess - The DirectAccess feature allows you to view bookmarks and dashboards directly from your Windows
Start Menu.
• Excel Client - The Excel Client allows you to build customized data blocks containing SiteCatalyst data that you can
then insert into your Excel worksheets. The data blocks can dynamically reference cells within your worksheet,
providing an incredible level of flexibility and customization.

Administration Tools
This menu item lets you access menu tools to administer and manage your Omniture applications. Some of the more
complex tools, like the Admin Console, have their own documentation, others are described fully later in this manual. Each
of these tool is briefly described here:
• Admin Console - This tool gives you access to all administration features for SiteCatalyst, Discover and other
applications. See the Administration Console User’s Guide for complete information.
• SAINT Classifications - The SiteCatalyst Attribute Importing and Naming Tool (SAINT) lets you bulk-import additional
data attributes, or dimensions, to the data collected about your Web site activity instead of manually entering it with
the SiteCatalyst Attribute Manager. By augmenting the data elements collected by SiteCatalyst with these attributes,
you can access much deeper and more complex reporting capabilities.
• Manage Campaigns - This tool lets you track your advertising campaign to let you see how successful your campaigns
are at driving traffic to your Web site and generating revenue.
• Data Sources - The data sources tool lets you use several methods to upload offline data to the Omniture servers for
use in your Omniture Applications. For example, if a company that uses SiteCatalyst acquires a new company, it can


use the Data Sources functions to upload Web data from the newly acquired company to the Omniture servers. It can
then access that data through SiteCatalyst and other Omniture applications. See the Data Sources Guide for more
information.
• Exclude by IP - This tool lets you exclude specific IP addresses from the data set that displays in your Omniture
applications. For example, you may want to exclude data that originates from users within your own organization, or
you may want to exclude data derived from a denial of service attack.
• ASI Slot Manager - Advanced Segment Insight (ASI) segments are useful when you want to segment data from a
report suite and create a new report suite (called an ASI slot) to hold the data. The ASI Manager enables you to define
the terms by which data is added to your ASI segment.
• Name Pages - This tool lets you change the default page names that display in the reports displayed in your Omniture
applications. You may want to use this to shorten lengthy page names of to obscure data that you release outside of
your organization.

NOTE: Some of the menu items described here may not be available if you do not subscribe to the Omniture applications
that they access.

My Account Tools
The my account menu option lets you access tools to configure your personal settings and update your account
information. It includes the following tools:
• Account Information - This tool lets you change your name, and other account information. It also lets you change
your password.
• Bookmark Manager - This tool lets you access your bookmarks. Bookmarks can be created for any page on any
Omniture application. You can click the bookmark to go directly to the page in the application. Because you have
signed in to the Omniture Suite, you do not need to log in to each application to access the bookmarked pages.
• Dashboard Manager - You can use this tool to edit your dashboard setup. You can change the reports that display in
your dashboard, or modify the size and location of the reports.
• Distribution - This tool lets you modify schedules for reports that are automatically delivered via Email or FTP to
addresses you select. This tool also has access to the tool that lets you verify digital signatures to ensure the accuracy
of your data.
• Alert Manager - This tool lets you manage the alerts that you have created. Alerts notify you when metrics for your Web
site meet criteria you select.
• Calendar Events Manager - This is a tool that lets you add events to the charts in your Omniture Reports. For example,
if you run an ad campaign, you can put it in the calendar events manager, and when you run reports in SiteCatalyst,
the event displays in your timeline reports.
• Target Manager- SiteCatalyst lets you create and modify targets. A target is a goal you are expecting to reach for your
key performance indicators. For example, you may have a target this month for the number of visitors to hit or exceed
10,000. Your SiteCatalyst reports can show both your targets and your actual numbers so you can see how your site is
performing compared to your expectations. The targets manager lets you create, import, or modify targets.
• Report Settings - You can use this tool to change the way that your reports display in your Omniture applications.

Data Warehouse
The data warehouse is an application you can use to make requests for in-depth correlated data about your Web site. It is
accessed from the arrows to the right of the application menu.


Figure 2.7: Accessing Data Warehouse

Help Menu
The help menu gives you access to the Omniture Knowledge base, the Omniture Community, the product manuals,
training videos, and tells you about training opportunities at the Omniture University. Figure 2.8 displays the help menu.
Figure 2.8: Help Menu

SEARCHING
In the upper-right corner of the Omniture Suite screen is a search field. When you type a string in the field, the Omniture
Suite automatically searches through all SiteCatalyst reports, tools, and help. For reports and tools the search looks through
the names only. For the help, the search tool searches full text.
For example, if you type the string ‘try’ in the search tool, the Omniture Suite displays all reports and tools that contain that
string in the name, such as the Entry Pages report. It also shows all help pages with the string try anywhere in the text of the
help page.
Figure 2.9 shows an example of the search field.
Figure 2.9: Search Field

Administration Tools
The Omniture Suite has several administration tools that you can use. For a brief overview of each of these tools, see
“Administration Tools” on page 8.
Click the following links to access the instructions for using the tools.
• Admin Console - See “Admin Console” on page 16.


• SAINT Classifications - See “Using SAINT Classifications” on page 24.
• Campaign Manager - See “Create or Edit Campaigns” on page 16.

ADMIN CONSOLE
The Administration Console lets you manage user accounts, permissions, report suites, and several configuration settings
for SiteCatalyst. A separate manual documents this tool. See the Administration Console User’s Guide for descriptions and
procedures for this tool.

CREATE OR EDIT CAMPAIGNS
SiteCatalyst features several specialized campaigns reports that display many details about campaigns. You can create
campaigns in the Omniture Suite for your campaigns reports.
Campaigns have three elements to them; campaign names, tracking codes, and creative elements. When you use this
feature, you initially need to name the campaign. The name should be descriptive, such as March banner ad campaign.
You then need to assign a tracking code to the campaign. You may have received a tracking code from the host company
of your campaign. If so, you should use a customized tracking code. Otherwise, SiteCatalyst can automatically assign you a
code. When you assign a tracking code, you also assign a creative name. This is a way to easily identify a particular ad in a
campaign without having to memorize tracking code numbers. You might use something such as Red Banner AD. This
way you can easily differentiate between different ads in a campaign.
When you run your campaigns reports in SiteCatalyst, you can quickly determine whether your campaign has been
effective. The reports show the names of the campaign, the names for the creative elements, and gives data for them.

To create or edit a campaign

1. Click Admin > Manage Campaigns.
2. Select a campaign type, then click Go.


Figure 3.3: Manage Campaigns

3. Click New Campaign or click a campaign name and click Edit Campaign.
Figure 3.4: Create a New Campaign

4. Complete the following fields:
Name: The name you want to use for the campaign.
Dates: Specifies the Start and End dates for the campaign duration.
5. Complete any classification fields that might also display. These fields can include names, costs, or other descriptive or
relational data about the campaign.


6. Click Next.
Figure 3.5: Link Creative Elements

7. Select values for the creative elements from the lists. A creative elements are any sort of ad materials such as banners,
graphics, and so forth. Hits on these elements are recorded via a unique key ID in the SAINT table.

NOTE: If you have placed several creative elements in a SAINT data file, you may upload them rather than adding
them individually in this screen. Click Upload, and navigate to the file location.

8. Click the creative elements you want to add to the campaign, and then click Add.
9. Click Next to review your campaign details, then click Finish.

DATA SOURCES
Data sources let you upload offline data for use in your Omniture applications. See the Data Sources Guide for more
information.

EXCLUDE BY IP ADDRESS
This tool lets you remove data that comes from IP addresses that you specify from your reports. This is useful to remove
data that comes from hits to your Web site from within your organization. Additionally, you can remove data that came
from denial of service attacks or other malicious event that could skew your data.


To exclude an IP address

1. In the Omniture Suite tools menu, click Admin > Exclude by IP Address.
Figure 3.6: Exclude by IP Address Screen

2. If you know the IP address you want to exclude, type it into the IP Address Exclusion fields. Your network administrator
can help determine the correct IP addresses.
You can use wildcard indicators (*) to exclude a range of addresses. For example, 0.0.*.0 would exclude all IP
addresses between 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.255.0.
3. Click Exclude.
4. Click Reactivate to end the exclusion.

ASI SLOT MANAGER
Advanced Segment Insight (ASI) segments are useful when you want to segment data from a report suite and create a new
report suite (called an ASI slot) to hold the data. For example, your Web site contains a newsletter for which visitors have to
register. You would like to see data pertaining to the visitors who registered so that you can create an email campaign that
targets these visitors’ interests. You can create an ASI segment that contains all the data pertaining to the registered
visitors.
You can create ASI segments through the ASI Manager in the Omniture Suite interface. The ASI Manager lets you define
the terms by which data is added to your ASI segment. The process by which you can create an ASI segment is very similar
to the process by which you can create a data warehouse report. The difference between the two is that the data
warehouse report is a single report that shows segmented data. With the ASI slot, you can view all the segmented data in
the various reports in the SiteCatalyst interface.

NOTE: Data Warehouse must be enabled in the source report suite. If Data Warehouse is not enabled, then the ASI
Manager does not display. For more information on enabling Data Warehouse, contact Omniture Live Support.

By using the ASI Manager, you can create an ASI segment request that is automatically sent to Omniture. Omniture takes
raw data from the Data Warehouse and places it into the ASI slot. You can then use SiteCatalyst reports to view the data


specifically based on the ASI segment request. Omniture charges a per-use fee for creating ASI segments. In many
instances, SiteCatalyst can calculate the amount of the fee before enabling you to submit the request.
Some additional examples of uses for ASI custom segment reports might include data on visits where at least 20 minutes
was spent on the site with no purchase made, or visitors that purchased over $200 in merchandise in the last three months.
After the segment is defined and saved, SiteCatalyst can be requested to build out a suite of reports focused solely on the
behavior of those individuals. Additionally, SiteCatalyst can either keep this new segment current each day as the new data
arrives, or treat the reports as a snapshot of activity.
Though segments created using the ASI Slot Manager Wizard are not available in real time (they must be built the day after
the data has been collected), you can still log in and view the data as it is added to the reports for preliminary results.

To create a new segment

1. Click Admin > ASI Segments.
2. If you have configured an ASI slot previously, the Manage Segments window appears.
Figure 3.7: Manage Segments

3. In the ASI slot you want to use, click Set Up.
4. If you have not previously set up an ASI slot, the Create Segment screen displays. This screen also displays when you
choose to set up an ASI slot from the Manage Segments screen. See Figure 3.8.


Figure 3.8: Create Segment

5. Type a name for the report suite segment in the Name field.
6. Select a report suite and destination from the Source Report Suite drop-down lists
7. To remove any existing data from the ASI slot, check Purge Data.
8. To copy your report suite settings to match the Data Source report suite settings, check Copy Settings. Click More Info
to read about the results of enabling this setting.
9. Select a segment definition from the list. To add a new definition, click New. You can also edit or delete segments by
clicking the segment definition and then clicking Edit or Delete.
See “Segment Definition Builder” on page 22.
10. Select the date preferences you want for the segment by selecting either Time Slice or Daily Recurring. Then enter a
date in the From and To fields (for Time Slice) or the Start from field (for Daily Recurring). You can also click the
calendar button next to any of these fields and select the dates from the calendar pop-up.
To use the calendar tool, click the arrows to scroll through the months, then click on a day to select it.


11. Click Continue.
The system displays the Confirm Segment page.
12. To receive e-mail notification when the segment has finished processing, check Notify me, and then type your e-mail
address in the Send my notification text box (multiple e-mail addresses may be typed, separated by commas).
13. Click Submit Request to submit the request for processing.

Segment Definition Builder
You can use the Segment Definition Builder to create new segment filters, or to edit an existing filter. This tool allows you to
define visitor segment filters based on visitor behavior. When submitting a Data Warehouse request, you can apply a
segment filter to the result set, which can be a significant advantage in analyzing your Web site traffic. A simple example of
a segment filter would be the segment of visitors that purchased $300 during a sales promotion held during the past eight
days. Segments created in the Data Warehouse interface are also available for use in the ASI feature (and vice versa).
Figure 3.9: Segment Definition Builder

To build a new segment or edit a segment

1. Click New, or Edit in the Choose a Segment Definition pane.
2. Drag an item from either the Components or the Library tab to the Drag and Drop Here item in the Include tab on the
right side of the page.


The Library tab is a repository of frequently used elements (defined or undefined events or containers). To add items to
the Library tab, select an element from the Events or Containers sections, or from the Include or Exclude tabs, drag it to
the Library tab, and then to the Available Components section.
If you added a container (Page View, Visit, or Visitor) to the canvas on the right side, you will need to add at least one
event to that canvas. Additionally, the Visitor container may also contain Visit and Page View containers, with their
respective events. The Visit container may also contain the Page View container with its respective event. The Page
View container may only contain events.
3. Click Define for each element you added to the canvas.
4. Type a name for the canvas element in the Name field.
5. Select an item from the This Visit Must Match drop-down list. You can choose to have the element match either all or
at least one of the rules you set.
6. Select a value from the Item drop-down list.
7. Select an operator value from the middle drop-down list. Table 3.2 explains all of the options that are available:
Table 3.2: Operators

OPERATOR DESCRIPTION
equals The selected item must exactly equal the value you enter.
is greater than The value of selected item must be greater than the value you
enter.
is less than The value of the selected item must be less than value you
enter.
is greater than or equal to The selected item must equal or be greater than the value you
enter.
is less than or equal to The selected item must equal or be less than the value you
enter.
contains The item must contain the value you enter.
contains all of The selected item must contain all of the values you enter.
contains at least one of The item must contain at least one of the values you enter.

8. Enter a value for the filter parameter in the Value field. You can also click Select Item to select from a list of values.
9. Click Add.
In the example given in the opening paragraph of this section, to create a segment identifying visitors who purchased
$300, you would add “Visitor” to the canvas, click the Define Visitor link, select “Total Revenue” from the Item field,
select “is greater than or equal” from the Operator list, enter “300” in the Value field, click Add, and then click OK.
You would then click Save Segment to save the segment you just defined.
10. Repeat steps 7-10 for each filter parameter you want to enter.
11. You can edit or delete parameter rows by clicking Edit or Delete next to the row you want to modify.
12. Click OK when you are done.
13. To exclude components, click the Exclude tab and repeat all of the preceding steps.
14. Click the Expand/Collapse button at the top-right of the element you added to show or hide element contents.
15. Remove elements by clicking the Close (X) button in the top-right of the element frame, or by clicking the top-left of
the element and dragging it to the Remove Item section of the left side of the page. You can also click Clear Canvas
above the canvas to remove all segment elements and start over.


16. Click Save Segment above the canvas to save the new segment.
17. Type a segment name in the Name field, and then click OK to complete the save.
18. Click Exit Builder at the top-right to leave the Segment Definition Builder.

NAME PAGES
You can rename all pages of your Web site using the name pages tool. When you do this, the SiteCatalyst database that
stores all your data will change the names of your Web pages. Then, when you access your reports, you see the page name
you select rather than the name that shows in the heading of the HTML browser when a user accesses the Web page. If
you have created and use a good naming convention for your Web pages, then you should not need to rename your Web
pages in SiteCatalyst.
If you do rename your Web pages, it affects all users and you cannot retroactively change them back. Additionally,
changing names of Web pages is not retroactive on data already in SiteCatalyst.

To change your Web page names

1. In the Omniture Suite tools menu, click Admin > Name Pages.
Figure 3.10: Name Pages Tool

2. In the Page field that corresponds with the Web page you want to change, type the new name for the page.

NOTE: The Name Page tool shows up to 50 Web pages at a time. Click Next to see additional Web pages.

3. Click Save Changes.

USING SAINT CLASSIFICATIONS
The SiteCatalyst® Attribute Importing and Naming Tool (SAINT) lets you bulk-import additional data attributes, or
dimensions, to the data collected about your Web site activity. By augmenting your SiteCatalyst data elements with SAINT


attributes, you can access much deeper and more complex reporting capabilities. After this information has been placed in
a SAINT file, you can import the data directly to Omniture computers.
Using SAINT has many benefits. You can use it to retroactively add attributes about your products, campaigns, Web
content, or any other data you track. You may also use it to add information that is difficult to track over your Web site.
For example, when you first start using Omniture products, you may have set up your tracking variables (eVars and sProps)
to track many attributes about your products, but later on, you learn that you need to analyze something such as the
shipping cost, which was not set up by default. Because you also want to apply this to the products you have been selling
previously, you need to do this retroactively. In this case, you can use SAINT to create classifications for shipping costs, by
product, product weight, or product size. You can upload this data to the Omniture computers and see new reports in your
Omniture applications that show you this new data.
You may also need to add information that is difficult to track over your Web pages. For example, in your organization, you
may have several ad campaigns going on simultaneously, and you have different managers who are responsible for the
campaigns. Each manager may be over two or three campaigns. You want to know how much revenue each manager
brings in. When people visit your Web site, you can record the campaign ID, but you may not track the name of the
manager responsible for the campaign. You can, of course, take the default information, and manually add up the
revenue, cross reference this with the manager, and get the results using a pen and paper, or you can use SAINT to add a
manager name or ID to the data and see it automatically in a report.
In short, you can use SAINT to add any data attribute to the information that Omniture collects for you. Other things may
include manufacturer name, country of origin, production costs, depreciation information, lot numbers, or simpler data
such as color or size.
The process for using SAINT is simple. First you use SAINT to download the data into a spreadsheet. For example you may
download products, campaigns, or other data, and SAINT gives you a list in a formatted spreadsheet. You can also
download templates for creating the spreadsheets. Then, in the spreadsheet, you type a column heading, and
classifications in the column. Figure 3.11 shows a simple example of what a spreadsheet may look like for the campaign
manager example.

NOTE: There are two options for downloading data sets. The browser option limits your download to data from a single
report suite. The FTP option lets you download data from multiple report suites.

Figure 3.11: SAINT Spreadsheet Example

In the spreadsheet, the first column, labeled Key, is the set of campaign keys downloaded from the Omniture computers.
The second column, labeled Owner, is the column you create. After you upload your .tab file to the Omniture computers,


you see a new report in SiteCatalyst named Owner with the campaign reports. This report shows the names of the
managers, and the data about the campaigns.
You can download a SAINT template to see a SAINT file that contains the available headers. This can be particularly
helpful when you want to view the currently populated column headings, but don’t want to export the data.
You can get additional information from the SAINT tutorial, or you can contact your Account Support Manager.

To download a SAINT template

1. From the tools menu, click Admin > SAINT Classifications.
Figure 3.12: Download a SAINT Template

2. Select the data set to be classified from the menu.
3. Select an existing report suite from the list.
4. Specify the encoding type from the drop-down box. It is recommended that you keep the default setting.
5. Click Download Template.
6. Use your operating system tools to save or open the template.

NOTE: The file that you download it a .tab file. This is the file extension that you need to use to import data into
SiteCatalyst. This format will open correctly in most spreadsheet applications. It is a tab delimited file.

To import SAINT data to your computer

1. From the tools menu, click Administration > SAINT Classifications.


Figure 3.13: Import a SAINT File

2. Click Export File.
3. Select the data set you want to classify from the menu.
4. Select a report suite from the menu.

Data Rows to and type a limit to the number of rows you want to download.
• Select start and finish dates from the menus.
• Check the box to add a filter where data rows have a specified value for the criteria you select. You can use the
asterisk (*) as a wildcard.
• Check the box to download rows with blank columns. This is useful if you add products or other things and you need
to add additional classifications to those already in place.
• For campaigns, mark the option to show campaigns that are active, or occurred between specified dates. This option
is not available for other data sets.


• Select the encoding type. In most cases, you should use the default encoding.
7. Use your operating system tools to open or save the file.

NOTE: If you data set is large, it may take several minutes to download.

6. If you want the data in this file to overwrite duplicate data, select the Overwrite data on conflicts option.

NOTE: If you are only adding to your SAINT classifications, selecting this option is not recommended. If you are
updating existing SAINT classifications, check this setting to ensure they are all updated.

7. If you would like the SAINT file to be exported to the same FTP location once the import is complete, select the After
import is complete option.
8. Type the e-mail address you wish to use for notifications in the field in the Notification Recipient section.


9. Select the Authorize option to authorize SiteCatalyst to automatically import all files sent to the new FTP account.
10. Click Save. A message appears stating the FTP account will be available in about 15 minutes.
11. Edit or delete FTP accounts by clicking the appropriate link next to the desired FTP account.
a. You can also export all campaign information in a tab-delimited file.

NOTE: Additional information and instructions for using SAINT can be found in the SiteCatalyst Attribute Importing &
Naming Tool: Campaign Tracking with SAINT white paper, available from the Omniture Web site.

To export SAINT data

1. On the SAINT Classifications page, click Export File.
Figure 3.16: Export SAINT File


To do a browser export

1. Select the data set you want classified from the first list.
2. Select the report suite with data you want to classify from the Select Report Suite list.
3. Select an option button in the Select Number of Rows section.
All returns all campaign information up to 50,000 rows.
Limit Data limits the amount of data exported to the first x rows that you determine (up to 50,000). If you need more
than 50,000 rows, use the FTP export option.
4. Select a data filter to apply to the export. You can choose no filter, rows that meet specific criteria (you must select an
item from the Download rows list, and then type a value), or rows with empty classification columns. See the note that
follows for more information about filters.
5. Wild cards such as * and ? are acceptable for query text. For unassigned codes, this should download anything that
does not have a classification for any of the columns. Use * to match 0 or more characters, and ? to match exactly 1
character.
6. Select a date filter to apply to the export. You can choose no filter, only active campaigns (current during today’s date),
or a specific time period during which campaigns were active.

NOTE: Some things to be aware of with the data filters include:
• If only one option is selected, only that filter is applied.
• An asterisk (*) will match zero or more characters. A question mark (?) will match any single character. Use ?* to
match one or more characters.
• In most cases, when both data filter options are selected, only rows that match both rules are downloaded. Exceptions
are noted here.
• If both options are selected, the following logic is used:
• If All empty columns are being downloaded, then all columns but the column specified in the first rule are checked
for emptiness. This way, any row with a column that matches the first rule and has all other columns empty will be
downloaded.
• Likewise, if any empty columns are being downloaded, any column but the column in the first rule is checked for
emptiness.
• If the same column is specified in both rules (it is almost impossible to meet both criteria) then only rows that match
the first rule will be downloaded.
• If both are checked and different columns are specified in each rule, then only rows that match both rules will be
downloaded.

To do an FTP export:

1. Click FTP Export.

SCHEDULING AND DISTRIBUTION
When you schedule a report for delivery in an Omniture application, you can use the Scheduling and Distribution tools to
view what files have been automatically sent and modify or terminate the deliveries.


Scheduling Manager
The scheduling manager lets you delete and edit recurring report deliveries. In the Omniture applications you can create
delivery schedules that send your reports via email or FTP to a specified address. You can configure these to be
automatically sent at specified intervals for a duration of time or indefinitely. If you need to stop the delivery of a recurring
report delivery, you can do it in the schedule manager.

CALENDAR EVENTS
The Calendar Events Manager is a tool that you can use to add data to your SiteCatalyst reports to show when certain
events occur. You can use this tool to graphically display events and see whether campaigns or other events have affected
your site traffic, revenue or any other metric. For example, in Figure 3.25, you can see a colored line above the timeline
area of the report. This line shows the time when the company ran an ad campaign. In the report, the user can see the time
the event occurs, and can determine whether the event affected the statistics. Assuming this is a revenue report, the user
can see how the event affects revenue over the course of the event.
When creating a calendar event, you can change the color of the line and the shape of the icons on the ends of the line. In
the graph in the report, you can mouse over the icons to see the details about the calendar event.

TARGET MANAGER
Targets let you measure your Web site performance against goals that you create for your Web site. For example, you may
want to increase the number of visitors that come from a geographic region, the revenue per order, or the number of hits
that come from a specific referrer. Targets let you track your progress for each goal you create.
When you create targets, you can select which attribute metrics or eVars you want to measure or you can choose to
measure your entire site against your selected metric. For example, you may want to measure the number of unique visitors
to your Web site, and use it as a target. In this case, you should choose the entire Web site. However, if you want to target
the number of unique visitors to your Web site from Chicago, you can specify that eVar rather than look at your entire Web
site.

NOTE: Currently, targets are applicable only to SiteCatalyst


You have two options for implementing targets:
• Create them individually using the interface tool
• Import them from a file.

Creating New Targets
You can create targets individually from a the interface that you access from Omniture Suite.

To create a target

1. In the Omniture Suite tools menu, click My Account > Targets.
2. Click Add New.
Figure 3.28: Create a Target

3. Type a name for the target.
4. Select whether you want to have the target apply to all aspects of your site or only certain eVars. For example in Figure
3.28, the user wants to see the daily unique visitors who visit the home page of the Web site. But if Entire Site is
selected, the target applies to the entire Web site.
a. To have the metric apply to the entire site, select Entire Site.


b. To have the target apply to a specific eVar, click the bullet next to the menu, select the eVar, and then click Select
Item.

NOTE: Items specify values for the eVars. For example, if you select the eVar ‘countries’ the item list lets you specify
which country. If you select the eVar ‘Products’, the item list lets you specify which product. Custom insight variables
are listed in the menu as well. If you have a custom insight variable set up to measure visitor age ranges, then the item
list displays the ranges of the ages, such as 18-24, 25-35, and so forth.

Figure 3.29: Select Item List

i. Click the item in the list you want to target.
ii. To search through a long list, type a query string and click Search.
iii. To search using exact phrases, word combinations, or exclusions, click Advanced, and type the query strings in
the appropriate boxes.
5. Select the metric to measure from the Metric menu.

NOTE: The metric menu displays only those metrics that apply to an eVar. For example, if you select products as the
eVar, a metric such as page exits does not apply to it. The page exits metric can apply to a Web page eVar, whereas,
for a Web pages, eVar, a metric such as number of units does not apply.

6. Type a date range or select a date range using the calendar tool.
a. If you type a date range, use the mm/dd/yy format.
b. If you use the calendar tool, use the arrows to find a month, and then click the day of the month.
7. Select the granularity from the menu. Options are yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily.


8. Type the values for each date range in the Values pane.

NOTE: Depending on your date range specifications, some granularity options do not apply. When typing values for
your metrics, type a value for each granularity setting. For example if your date range is the month of February, and
your granularity selection is weekly, type a value for each week of the month of February. Target reports display for
each granularity setting. To see your target reports, access SiteCatalyst. See the Site Catalyst User’s Manual for more
details about accessing the target reports.

9. Click OK.

To edit targets

2. Click the edit icon in the Targets list.
Figure 3.30: Target List

3. Edit the target using the same steps you did when creating the target.
4. To delete the target, click the Delete icon.
5. If you want the target report available to all SiteCatalyst uses in your organization, check the Share check box.

Importing Targets
You can import multiple targets simultaneously using a tab separated values file. You can use the functions in the
Omniture Suite to download a template and to upload template files. This keeps you from having to create or edit targets
individually.
