To maximize effectiveness of Marketing Channels for Attribution and Customer Journey Analytics, we have published some revised best practices.
Analytics > Admin > Report Suites > Edit Settings > Marketing Channels > Marketing Channel Classifications.
Use classifications to categorize values into related groups and to report at the group level. For example, you can classify all Paid Search campaigns into a category like Video Cards. Then you can report on the success of that category relative to metrics like Instances (or click-throughs).
Classifications that you add in this procedure display in the Marketing Channel Overview report as Channel Values. Channel Values are unclassified values in the channel detail.
Ensure that you are familiar with creating classifications in Classifications.
The Marketing Channels classification reports behave a little differently than standard classifications: when you create classifications for either first touch or last touch reports, they are automatically applied to both. You cannot classify one without classifying the other.
