  • Can you give a small example of what you have and then make a scenario of what you would want the functionality to be? Also - what is your end-user actually doing? Is this for an app? Is this maybe a use case for Variables? If I am understanding the use case well enough, I think it might be a time to use Variables…
  • @vaco - There are a lot of things that are no longer available with GA4 because of decisions Google made. Most are related to privacy in a roundabout sort of way. You'll find things like demographics and geo data to be lacking, as well as anything else which has to require the user to agree to being tracked. Some, like the…
  • @mmisky87 - Thank you for marking as a solution!
  • @deona720 - Feedback on the Dataflow - Is there a reason you are using so many append tiles? I strongly recommend appending all of them in one append tile. This will not only be more efficient, but will allow you to easily review them all at once for any field conflicts. Additional recommendation - Name each of those…
  • I recommend adding all of the fields which are used in your beast mode into your table and scan through to see where the issue is. You can also take out the second WHEN statement. It should not have an impact, but may make things easier to review. Have you checked what Mark suggested? That is something that has come up…
  • If your recursive is set up properly, #4 should not be a factor. Then, you can simply have it run when the dataset updates. If the wrong data is sent, it should self-correct when the correct data comes through. If there aspect of the data or setup that make this not the case, please provide details. If there is an issue…
  • Total Users - I have not gotten accurate results for Total Users, no matter how I try. Sessions and Engagement - I will provide screenshots below of the settings I used. If I recall correctly, these are not necessarily accurate when rolled up to the total, but when filters are applied, they are generally quite close, if…
  • What issues are you having with the data? The API Endpoints for GA4 behave MUCH differently from GA3. It can be a nightmare. Rather…It has been a nightmare…to get data accurately pulling. Both dimensions and metrics conflict and result in data omission. Feel free to reach out if you need help. Domo may not be able to help…
  • @ArborRose - What is making you have to convert the times? Are the API's telling Domo what time zone they are in? If so, perhaps you can change the format so that time zone is in a separate column? As long as the data is coming into Domo in your desired time zone, no conversion should be necessary. The only exception I…
  • Hi @KristinDavis - I just finished an extensive project getting GA4 data to come in even remotely accurately. There are SO MANY nuances. For the User Counts, you are correct that if you don't want to double count users for the period, you have to have pulls by each desired grain. This is because all of the data is…
  • How about if it's a dashboard setting? I think that would meet in the middle for everyone. I see the use cases for both defaults, and I crave both defaults at different times, depending on the style and audience of a particular dashboard! 🤔 It could be something like Display Mode, but read as "Default Card Interaction":
  • @mmisky87 - Are you trying to get data from Domo to Excel or from Excel to Domo? I am thinking you are trying to get data from Domo into Excel, based on your screenshot. It seems as though you may need to use the new Office Plug-in to achieve this. It can be confusing with all the legacy tools, but the newest one does a…
  • Thanks @GrantStowell! I've been working more directly with Domo and with top contributors here, but I miss that direct connection in the community forum. I have also learned and seen evidence that under Ben's leadership, Product is looking at the ideas a lot more, so I will have to get my lists documented here!
  • @ST_-Superman-_ - I think he is really telling us that users are not able to duplicate the cards if they are locked. It's just got too much extra information.
  • What have you found to be missing? The information on dataset views is in the datasets dataset. The Import type is dataset-view. Anything downstream should follow the same path that datasets do. There is also a new additional dataset with the view's input dataset listed.
  • If you change your company time zone to UTC, you will be all set. That will simply mean that dates and times in your data will not be converted unless you convert them.
  • We should also be able to choose an existing card to insert into the drill path. Ohhh - the time that would save!
  • CASE WHEN 'column a'= '1' THEN ('column c'/('column b' *1000)) END This seems to belong in the question section, rather than the ideas exchange.
  • @Byboth - Michelle is spot-on. Have you tried to create any dataflows yet? The SQL option is quite prominent, so I am thinking you are just looking at documentation, perhaps?
  • You may want to post this as a question instead of an idea, as this can most likely be achieved already.
  • If you don't want the credit consumption, you don't want the more frequent updates. A request to run domostats dataset more frequently is already an idea requested. Most visited dashboards is definitely something that can be done with day-old data. Think about why a last accessed date would need to be less than a day old…
  • YES PLEASE! This is another one I keep meaning to add as an idea! @JoshMillheim - This comes up a lot. Here are a couple scenarios I can think of off the top of my head, but there are certainly more. I have spent hours flipping individual cards and chasing beast mode errors. Scenario #1 - Sometimes you need to switch to…
  • Are we not able to upvote after it gets a suggested workaround?
  • YES PLEASE! I keep meaning to put this one in!
  • It would be great to be able to actually manage the schedules from an interface, since it's a lot of clicks otherwise. @ArborRose - It seems like what you are looking for can be achieved using the Datasets History Dataset, joined to the Datasets Dataset. Then use the Gantt chart to show the histories and durations of the…
  • That gets dicey fast. Best practice is to leave your company time zone at UTC. That will minimize the number of datasets that require conversion in most cases.
  • There are many unclear actions and object types in the activity log. I have provided extensive feedback and been sent in a loop. There are also a lot of actions that propagate a nonsensical volume of entries, as well as entries that don't provide the most basic information to make the row relevant or useable. @WHM - That's…
  • Totally agree - we have asked for this for years. That being said, you can set up automations to run the most critical datasets more often. If you want to explore that option, please post it as a question, and I am sure one of our brilliant friends will provide the details!
  • This one should have been a question, rather than an idea. It's good to ask the questions first so that folks get credit for solutions. Then, if it turns out that it's an enhancement request, it can be submitted as an idea and upvoted.
  • When you set up the key, it should have been named appropriately for the purpose. That way, you can check on it. ALL tokens expire. The maximum time is 10 years. For notifications, check this setting: 3 Dots Menu > Notifications
