[xmpie-users] Marketing Console - need report for 85 ADORs

[KA]

Hi,

We made a PURL site with forms with 85 answers and would like to get
the results in one report from the marketing console.

However, I get a message saying that there is a limit of 30 ADORs per
report.
This means I would have to make, and export, and stitch together in
excel, data from 3 reports from the marketing console in order to see
the entire story.

Is there any way around this -limitation i.e. to get one report with
all 85 items that I can export all at once?

Thank you,
Kristin

Using the MC interface itself, I think you have guessed the only
solution.

If you have some SQL experience, you could write a SQL query to
extract the data directly from the tracking database outside of the MC
interface.

Yeah I did that but we'd rather have it more accessable than requiring
someone with access to generate and format and email the results.

Just for my understanding, what is the reason for the 30 ADOR
limitation ?

30 Ador limit for getting reports from the Marketing Console? I had
been considering the reasons to purchase the XMPie MC, but this fact
alone might make it inadequate.

The 30-ADOR limitation was indirectly mentioned by a Group member.
Before taking any decision, I would double check the information with
me Xerox or XMPie representative, who can certainly raise a Feature
Request, if needed.

Who in their right mind would want to present a cusotmer with a table
report of more than 30 columns anyhow? You're much better off giving
the customer 10-20 different charts which clearly show key things
about their campaign, not a big table of data.

[Ioanna Wilde]

So just to clarify.... You CAN have multiple tables run through one plan
right? So you can accumulate the equivalent to hundreds of columns, they
would just be sorted into thought-out tables?

Is there any info in the manuals about this?

All ADORs that you tag to be tracked are always tracked.
When you are in the Marketing Console, you select which ADORs you want
to appear in a report. You can make as many reports as you want for a
single campaign. Additionally, there are a number of different types
of reports, so that you can select the one most appropriate to your
needs (for example, straight data, cumulative data, tables, charts,
etc.)

However, if the 30-record limit is an artificial one, I will enter a
request to remove it, and let the customer and client determine
whether they want one Excel file with 85 columns. In this case the
marketing console isn't being used as a way for the client to review
data on the screen, but rather a convenient way for them to generate
and download the full set of data as needed - without having to make a
request of the database person, and without giving too many people
access ot the SQL database itself just to export the form response
data.

The saying is "the client is always right" not "the client is always
sane" ;-)
