Panel date range updates In Workspace, we added the following improvements:
  • Starting with the February release, dimension items and data previews are based on the panel date range and not the last 90 days.
  • All dimension items listed are based on data within the panel date range. If a dimension item has data outside the date range, you can show additional data beyond the date range at the bottom of the list.
  • Dimensions that don’t have data can be displayed in the left rail. Click the show more options to view dimension items with data outside the panel date range.
  • Data previews in the segment and calculated metric builders are based on the panel date range unless accessed from the component managers, which don’t have an associated panel and are still based on the last 90 days.
  • Data previews display data or components based on the panel date range.

Automatic migration to Classification Set architecture February 8, 2023 Over the next several months, Adobe plans to migrate all classifications across all organizations to the latest classification architecture. The last customers to migrate is estimated to happen in May 2023. No customer action is required, and no down time is expected. This new architecture has many benefits, including:Note the following changes that can potentially impact your organization’s workflow:
  • When using the browser or FTP import, ‘Overwrite on conflict’ is always enabled.
  • When using the browser or FTP import, the option to export immediately after import is no longer supported.
  • The Analytics 2.0 API GetDimensions endpoint now returns string identifiers for classifications instead of numeric identifiers. Numeric identifiers can still be used, but Adobe recommends using the new string identifiers where possible. Numeric identifiers can be retrieved by using the ?expansion=hidden query string parameter.
Contact Adobe Customer Care if you want a more specific migration schedule for your organization, or have questions/concerns around this migration. Learn more

End-of-life (EOL) notices

EOL of Japanese Feature Phone tracking service March 21, 2023 For our Japanese customers only: At the end of May 2023, the Japanese Feature Phone tracking service (mod_ktrack) will be discontinued. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we ask that you uninstall or disable the modules that are installed on your Apache server. See pages 27 and 28 in this document for reference.
EOL for Reports & Analytics March 7, 2023 Effective December 31, 2023, Adobe intends to discontinue Reports & Analytics and its accompanying reports and features. The reports, visualizations, and underlying technology that power Reports & Analytics no longer meet Adobe’s technology standards. Most Reports & Analytics features are available in Analysis Workspace. Since the release of Analysis Workspace in 2015, Reports & Analytics functionality and capabilities have been moved to Analysis Workspace and a threshold of workflow parity has been reached. This notice explains the end-of-life process.

On December 31, 2023, we will terminate many of the associated Reports & Analytics features, including, but not limited to: Scheduled Reports, Data Extracts, and DL Reports. After Dec 31, 2023, any scheduled reports will no longer be sent. In April 2023, any reports that were scheduled to expire beyond Dec 31, 2023, will automatically be updated and reverted to expire on Dec 31, 2023. In addition, you can no longer schedule future reports beyond December 31, 2023.
EOL of People metric March 9, 2023 With the deprecation of the Device Co-op, the Device Co-op-related People metric is no longer relevant. On May 8, 2023, we will remove the People metric. At that point, we will redirect its data to the Unique Visitor metric to prevent projects, segments and calculated metrics from breaking.

Note: The People metric tied to Cross-Device Analytics is not affected by this announcement.
