Why can’t I select Analytics as my reporting source when I create an activity?
Answer
You can change your Reporting Settings options in Administration.
- In Target, click Administration.
- In the Experience Cloud solution used for reporting drop-down list, click Select per Activity.
The Reporting Source drop-down list is enabled in the Goal & Settings screen for creating and editing activities.
To always use Analytics as the reporting source, select Adobe Analytics from the drop-down list in Administration.
Can a visitor switch between targeted and controlled experiences in different visits in an Auto-Target activity that uses A4T?
Answer
The following is true assuming the visitorId does not change for a visitor between visits.
If the traffic-allocation percentage is adjusted mid-activity, it’s possible that a visitor could move between targeted and control experiences.
If the percentages are not adjusted mid-activity, a visitor who initially sees the control is always sent to control. A visitor that is sent to targeted experiences is always sent to targeted experiences.
- After being in the targeted “bucket” of traffic, the visitor can be sent to a different experience from visit to visit if the machine-learning models determine that a different experience is relevant for the new visit.
- After being assigned to the control “bucket” of traffic, a visitor will always see the same experience because experience assignment is based on a deterministic pseudo-random hash of the visitor’s visitorId.
