Sitecatalyst General Navigation

The SiteCatalyst interface is composed of the following sections:

• Navigation Tabs. Lets you access the main sections in SiteCatalyst, including Reports, Settings, Tools, Permissions, Advanced Analysis, Data Sources, and Message Boards. Also contains the Help and Logout links.

• Account Information Header. Shows the name of the company and the URL and Report Suite ID that is being viewed. Also lets you choose which report suite to view (for users with multiple report suite permissions).

• Report View Tabs. Let you change the view of the current report. Options can include Ranked, Trended or Improved views (Graphical and Tabular views are available for certain Paths reports, and Map view is used in the GeoSegmentation reports). These different views can help you see the performance of portions of your site, performance trends, or the portions that have had the greatest or least improved performance for any time period.

• Report Status Header. Change the specific page, Success Metric, roll-up period (Multi-Site Roll-up accounts only), and other options for the report you are viewing.

• Report Toolbar. Gives you complete control over the reports by presenting help, download, bookmark, print report, copy graph, new window and display options utilities.

• Calendar. Use the Calendar tab to change the present time period of the report you are viewing. Use the Range tab to view reports over any custom date range. If you choose the “Select Presets” option from the Range drop-down menu, you will then have the opportunity to select an event from a window listing the available preset calendar events.

• Report Menus. Click any of these menu items to view the report of your choice. This eliminates the need to return to the Report Navigator page every time you want to see a different report. Includes menus to navigate to Dashboards, Bookmarks, and Targets.

• Graph. The graph shows a visual representation of your site’s data for that report. This way you can quickly identify patterns or points of interest, and then further explore the reasons behind those events in the main report body.

• Report Details. The table provides yet another representation of your site’s data, allowing you to see a line-by-line breakdown of the information represented in the graph above.

Each of these items is explained in the next sections.

NAVIGATION TABS

The tabs in the top-left corner of your screen allow you to access different areas of SiteCatalyst. You can click one of these tabs to switch SiteCatalyst areas at any time. For example, if you are in the Help area you can click the Reports tab to return to the SiteCatalyst Home page.

The following five tabs compose the Navigation Tabs section:
• Reports. The Reports tab takes you to the SiteCatalyst Home page, from which you can access all available reports.
• Settings. Clicking the Settings tab will take you to the Settings page, from which you can change report suite information, exclude computers or IP addresses from your SiteCatalyst report suite tracking and name individual site pages and Custom Insight Traffic and Commerce variables.
• Tools. Takes you to the Tools page, which contains downloads and links to SiteCatalyst utilities. These utilities include the ClickMap plug-in, DirectAccess installation program, SiteCatalyst Excel toolbar, and Digital Signature Verification.
• Permissions. The Permissions tab will take you to the Permissions page, from which you can view your personal contact information, as well as the e-mail address of your company administrator. If you are the SiteCatalyst administrator for your company, the Permissions page will let you set permissions and roles for individual users and sites. Some of these permissions include the reports users are allowed to view, login names and passwords, among other report privileges.
• Advanced Analysis. The Advanced Analysis Tab replaces the previous Data Warehouse tab, and provides you access to four powerful tools that allow you to look even deeper into your site’s performance: Custom Data Warehouse Report , ASI Segmentation Wizard, Omniture Discover, and Multivariate Testing. (Certain options on this tab are available based on the service level you have purchased.)
• Data Sources. The Data Sources tab (Data Sources Manager) allows you to create new data sources to import data from external sources. It also displays all of the currently activated data sources for your account.
• Message Boards. SiteCatalyst Message Boards provide an environment where clients can assist and learn from each other.
• Help. The Help tab takes you to the help page, which contains links to the knowledge base, client services, online user manual, message boards, and training and consulting.
The Navigation Tabs section also displays the Logout link, which logs you out of SiteCatalyst (you will have to log back in again to use SiteCatalyst).
