Change to how Entries/Exits are calculated in Workspace | April 7, 2020 | In Analysis Workspace, as of March 2020, we have changed how the “None” value interacts with Entries/Exits. Because you can now turn “Nones” on and off in Analysis Workspace, we apply the “None” after the entry or exit, whereas (for eVars) it used to be applied before. For example, assume the first hit of a visit has no value for eVarx, but the second hit does. In Reports & Analytics it will show up as “Unspecified” for the Entry, but in Analysis Workspace it will show up as the value on the second hit. |
EOL of Conversion Level setting | March 3, 2020 | The non-functioning Conversion Level setting in Admin Tools > Report Suites > General Account Settings will be removed from the UI on March 12, 2020. |

New Adobe Analytics domain | Dec. 18, 2019 | On January 16, 2020, Adobe Analytics began moving to a new domain - https://experience.adobe.com/analytics. Note: This change applies to all users accessing Analytics with their Adobe ID or Enterprise ID.
