Customer Journey Analytics data views

For more information, see: Data views overview.

A data view:

  • Can be based on Customer Journey Analytics segments.
  • Can be applied to both historical and new data in a non-destructive manner.
  • Allows you to create one or many virtual views on top of a Customer Journey Analytics connection, for use by different business teams.
  • May be used to control access to and curate different kinds of data for different users in Customer Journey Analytics.
  • Provides powerful non-destructive options for transforming and enhancing data coming into Customer Journey Analytics through a Customer Journey Analytics connection.
  • Is based on the report-time processing capabilities of Customer Journey Analytics.
  • Allows users to create a custom definition for “session.”
  • Is applied at report runtime, similar to a segment evaluation. This is after the Source Connector (Adobe Analytics or other) has written data to a dataset in the Adobe Experience Platform data lake, and after the data has been ingested into Customer Journey Analytics via a Customer Journey Analytics connection.
  • Allows for an unlimited number of variables, although curation can limit which variables are exposed to users
  • Allows for custom naming of Event, Session & Person containers.
  • Supports custom calendar options.

A data view does not:

  • Directly provide a means for combining report suites or other datasets. Instead, datasets are combined with in a Customer Journey Analytics connection. The combined data from the Customer Journey Analytics connection is available for use in all data views based on that connection.
