Build a Calculated Metric

Description

This function combines formulas to create calculated metrics in Adobe Analytics

Usage

cm_build(
  name = NULL,
  description = NULL,
  formula = NULL,
  seg_filter = NULL,
  polarity = "positive",
  precision = 0,
  type = "decimal",
  create_cm = FALSE,
  tagNames = NULL,
  internal = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  rsid = Sys.getenv("AW_REPORTSUITE_ID"),
  company_id = Sys.getenv("AW_COMPANY_ID")
)

Arguments

name

This is the name of the new calculated metric (required)

description

This is the description of the segment (optional)

formula

Formulas are list objects created using the cm_formula() function.

seg_filter

A segment filter to be added to a metric in the formula

polarity

Also known as 'Show Upward Trend As' in the UI. Options include 'positive' (default) or 'negative'. This metric polarity setting shows whether Analytics should consider an upward trend in the metric as good (green) or bad (red). As a result, the report’s graph will show as green or red when it’s going up.

precision

Shows how many decimal places will be shown in the report. The maximum number of decimal places you can specify is 10. Also known as 'Decimal Places' in the UI. Default is 0. Must be a numeric.

type

Choices include Decimal (default), Time, Percent, and Currency. Also known as 'Format' in the UI.

create_cm

Used to determine if the segment should be created in the report suite or if the definition should be returned to be validated using cm_validate. Default is FALSE

tagNames

Apply tag names to the newly created calculated metric. Single string or a vector.

internal

Determines if this segment is to be available in the UI. Default is FALSE, meaning the segment will not be available in the UI, nor will the ID be available in the aw_get_segments function call.

debug

This enables the api call information to show in the console for help with debugging issues. default is FALSE

rsid

Adobe report suite ID (RSID). If an environment variable called AW_REPORTSUITE_ID exists in .Renviron or elsewhere and no rsid argument is provided, then the AW_REPORTSUITE_ID value will be used. Use aw_get_reportsuites() to get a list of available rsid values.

company_id

Company ID. If an environment variable called AW_COMPANY_ID exists in .Renviron or elsewhere and no company_id argument is provided, then the AW_COMPANY_ID value will be used. Use get_me() to get a list of available company_id values.

Value

If the "create_cm" argument is set to FALSE a list object definition will be returned. If the "create_cm" argument is set to TRUE and the calculated metric is valid it will return a data frame of the newly created calculated metric id along with some other basic meta data. If it returns an error then the error response will be returned to help understand what needs to be corrected.
