IMS Organization preferences ims-organization-preferences

You can update company preferences that apply to all users and projects within your organization. For information about how to access these preferences, see Update preferences.

Section
Preference
Options
Project sharing
Allow sharing only with Workspace users

When this option is enabled, users in your organization cannot see the Share with anyone option in the Share menu. This means that users cannot share projects with people who don’t have an Analysis Workspace account in your organization as described in Share a project with anyone (no login required) in Share projects.
This option is disabled by default for all organizations (meaning that users can share projects with people outside the organization) except for customers who have licensed Healthcare Shield.

Consider the following when enabling or disabling this option:

  • When you enable this option, people who previously received access to a project through the Share with anyone share option can no longer access the project.
  • If this option is enabled (to allow sharing only with Workspace users) and then later disabled (to allow sharing with anyone), people who previously received access to a project through the Share with anyone share option do not automatically regain their access to the project. In this case, the user who shared the project must enable the Link is active option that is available when sharing a project with anyone (Share > Share with anyone), as described in Share a project with anyone (no login required) in Share projects.
  • For customers who license Healthcare Shield: This option is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Before you can disable this option so that users can use the Share with anyone share option, you first need to add the Share project links with anyone permission (located under Reporting Tools) in the Adobe Admin Console. After the permission is added, you can disable this option, then accept the resulting legal notice. For information about how to add a permission in the Admin Console, see Manage product permissions in the Admin Console.
Require Experience Cloud authentication

When enabled, people who are given access to a project from the Share with anyone option in Analysis Workspace must authenticate using their Experience Cloud credentials.

After this option is enabled, any time a user shares a project using the Share with anyone share option, the Require Experience Cloud authentication option is enabled in the share dialog and it cannot be disabled by the user who is sharing the project. For information about how users can share projects with anyone, see Share a project with anyone (no login required) in Share projects.

Consider the following when enabling this option:

  • When you enable this option, all projects that were previously shared with the Share with anyone share option, and do not have the Require Experience Cloud authentication option enabled, are deactivated.

    If this option is enabled (to require Experience Cloud authentication) and then later disabled (to allow anyone with the link to access the project), people who previously received access to a project through the Share with anyone share option do not automatically regain their access to the project. In this case, the user who shared the project must enable the Link is active*option that is available when sharing a project with anyone (Share > Share with anyone > Link is active), as described in Share a project with anyone (no login required) in Share projects.

  • This option is available only if SSO is implemented in your organization. For information about how system administrators can enable SSO for your organization, see Set up identity and Single Sign-On.

    If SSO is configured for your organization, check to see if any kind of auto-account creation is implemented in the console. Typically, a system administrator would set this up, as described in Enable automatic account creation.

  • If your organization licenses Healthcare Shield, this option is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

Projects & Analyses preferences project-and-analysis-preferences

You can customize these preferences for all new Analysis Workspace projects, new Analysis Workspace panels, and new guided analyses. For information about how to access these preferences, see Update preferences.

Some of these same preferences can also be customized for individual projects in Analysis Workspace, as described in Project overview.

Table
Table type
  • Freeform
  • Table builder
Default table metric
  • Occurrences
  • Unique Visitors
  • Visits
Default table dimension
Choose from Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year.
Align dates
Select this option to align dates from each column to all start on the same row.
Column
Wrap header text
Lets you wrap the header text in Freeform tables to make headers more readable and tables more shareable. This is useful for .pdf rendering and for metrics with long names. Enabled by default.
Show totals
This total is typically equal to or a subset of the Grand Total. It reflects any table filters applied within the freeform table, including the Include None option.
Show grand totals
This total represents all events that have been collected, sometimes referred to as ‘data view total’. When a filter is applied either at the panel level or within the freeform table, this total adjusts to reflect all events that match the filter criteria. Grand total is not supported for tables or breakdowns with static rows.
Show sparkline
Show or hide line charts at the bottom of the chart. When hidden, the legend changes to no longer visually reference the lines.
Number
Determines if a cell shows/hides the numeric value for the metric. For example, if the metric is Page Views, the numeric value is the number of page views for the row item.
Percent
Determines if a cell shows/hides the percent value for the metric. For example, if the metric is Page Views, the percent value is the number of page views for the row item divided by the total page views for the column. Note: We can show percentages greater than 100%, to be more accurate. We are also moving the upper bound cap to 1,000% to ensure columns can grow in widths too large.
Show anomalies
Determines if anomaly detection is run on the values in this column.
Show forecast
Determines if forecast values are shown automatically for the first metric column in any time-series freeform table you create.
Interpret zero as no value
For cells with a 0 value, determines whether to show a 0 or a blank cell. This is useful when you look at data for each day of a month, and some days haven’t happened yet. Instead of showing 0’s for future dates, blank cells can be shown instead. Charts respect this setting as well (i.e., they do not showing a line or bar with 0 values when this setting is checked).
Background

Determines if a cell shows/hides all cell formatting, including the bar graph and conditional formatting

  • Bar graph
  • Shows a horizontal bar graph representing the cell’s value relative to the total for the column. Conditional formatting For more information about conditional formatting, see “Conditional formatting” in Column Settings
Cell preview
Shows a preview of how each cell appears with the currently selected formatting options applied.
Row
Breakdown by position
Select this option if you want the breakdown to remain with the position of the item rather than with the item itself. For more information about breakdowns, see Break down dimensions.
Percentage calculation
  • Column
  • Row
Column totals (Static rows only)
  • Display sum of rows: Shows the sum of the individual line items
  • Display grand total: Shows the de-duplicated sum of rows.

Visualizations preferences

You can update visualization preferences for all new prjects that you create in Analysis Workspace. For information about how to access these preferences, see Update preferences.

Some of these same preferences can also be customized for individual visualizations.

Select the linked section titles for more information and context about the available preferences.

Section
Preference
Options
General Defaults
Percentages
Displays values in percentages for all visualizations.
Legend visible
Lets you hide the detailed legend text for all visualizations.
Limit max items
Reduces the number of items on the X-axis for all visualizations. This can be useful if you have a large dataset.
Display dual axis (when applicable)
Only applies if you have two metrics - you can have a y-axis on the left (for one metric) and on the right (for the other metric). This is helpful when plotted metrics are of very different magnitudes.
Normalization (when applicable)
Forces metrics to equal proportions. This is helpful when plotted metrics are of very different magnitudes.
Anchor Y-axis at zero
If all the values plotted on the chart are considerably above zero, the chart default will make the bottom of the y-axis NON-ZERO. If you check this box, the y-axis will be forced to zero (and it will re-draw the chart).
Anchor anomalies to scale Y-axis
The y-axis will be scaled using anomaly values.
Line
Percentages
Displays values in percentages for the Line visualizations.
Legend visible
Lets you hide the detailed legend text for the Line visualization.
Limit max items
Reduces the number of items on the X-axis in the Line visualization. This can be useful if you have a large dataset.
Display dual axis (when applicable)
Only applies if you have two metrics - you can have a y-axis on the left (for one metric) and on the right (for the other metric). This is helpful when plotted metrics are of very different magnitudes.
Normalization (when applicable)
Forces metrics to equal proportions. This is helpful when plotted metrics are of very different magnitudes.
Show x-axis
Displays the x-axis on the Line chart.
Show y-axis
Displays the y-axis on the Line chart.
Anchor Y-axis
If all the values plotted on the chart are considerably above zero, the chart default will make the bottom of the y-axis NON-ZERO. If you check this box, the y-axis will be forced to zero (and it will re-draw the chart).
Allow anomalies to scale Y-axis

If you have multiple metrics in a chart, you have to hover over each anomaly to see the confidence band for that metric. To make the visualization more legible, the Anomaly Detection confidence interval does not automatically scale the y-axis. This option allows the confidence interval to scale the visualization.

For more information, see View anomalies in Analysis Workspace.

Allow forecast to scale Y-axis
If you have forecast values that are outside of upper and lower bounds of the historical values, the y-axis does not automatically scale for these forecasted values. When turned on, this option does properly scale the y-axis for the the forecasted values.
Show min
Overlay a minimum value label to quickly highlight the valleys in a metric. Note: The min values are derived from the visible data points in the visualization, not the full set of values within a dimension.
Show max
overlay a maximum value label to quickly highlight the peaks in a metric. Note: The max values are derived from the visible data points in the visualization, not the full set of values within a dimension.
Show trendline
Show a regression or moving average trendline to your line series. Trendlines help to depict a clearer pattern in the data.
Cohort
Granularity
For trended visualizations, you can change the time granularity (Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year). This change also applies to the data source table.
Only show percent
Removes the number value and only shows the percentage.
Round percent to nearest whole
Rounds the percent value to the nearest whole instead of showing the decimal value.
Show average percent row
Inserts a new row at the top of the table and then adds the average for the values within each column.
Combo charts
Show X-axis
Displays the x-axis on the Combo chart.
Show Y-axis
Displays the y-axis on the Combo chart.
Display barbells on lines
Show barbells on lines in Combo charts.
