Key Features
The focus of this release is on further improving analytical workflows for audience creation. Analytical reports and algorithms have had minor extensions made to provide additional processing capability and to further improve scripted flow of data from one process to another.
Various Tech-ops bugs and minor feature requests are also addressed.
- AnalyseSegments - Now Includes:
- new modes:
- ranking: allows target percent and rank to be calculated for each target dataset - 3 options available for calculating target percent:
- "overlap_total" = overlap count / target count
- "target_total" = target count / target total
- "overlap" = overlap count / overlap total
- target_nontarget. Allows target ranks to be calculated for each target dataset. First targetdataset entry is target dataset, subsequent targetdatasets are "non-targets". Difference in rank between "target" and "non-targets" is calculated and output as additional columns.
- ranking: allows target percent and rank to be calculated for each target dataset - 3 options available for calculating target percent:
- new modes:
- Data Table Viewer- Now includes:
- Ability to sort and filter AnalyseSegment models

AMP+ Issues Resolved in this release
Improvement
- DM-870 AMP-278 Additional Config options for Export To File - export location settings are restricted for marketplace users, and default settings are changed.
- DM-874 AMP-284 Make Dataset Collection features available to MARKETPLACE User - the dataset collections tab is available to marketplace users
- DM-875 AMP-254 change to rms implementation defaults - default rms is now 32GB (was 16). Setting no longer stored by default in server config file. Unencrypted config file available for manual over-ride of command line setting.
Bug
- DM-599 AMP-175 Totals column incorrectly placed in Multi Dimensional profile report - Multi Function Profile now sorts totals correctly and only includes visible grid rows when calculation total
- DM-766 AMP-103 Metadata descriptions are missing from Load Source projects on v7.2.12 - metadata is preserved during ExportIntoTable, CopyUp and CopyDown
- DM-869 AMP-280: adding ctod:true to ExportIntoTable causes failure - incomplete view - resolved
- DM-871 AMP-277 LCAST is generating null data when it should not - error is now raised when calling LCAST on a continuous non-string as this is not supported. LCAST on a discrete non-string will continue to return null values for non-numeric values.
- DM-872 AMP-282: Protection status is being wrongly inherited from an injected project - Owner project no longer inherits protection status of injected projects.
- DM-873 AMP-279 - RenameTable is allowing a table to be renamed to an existing table name - RenameTable will fail if the table already exists.
Other Changes
New Feature
- DM-853 Automate Export and Joining of Overlap Results to Primary Contact Table for easy selection - see "Attach Fields To Table"
- DM-854 Add TranslateDatasetCollection and TranslateTemplate to UI - collections and template can be copied to other tables - NOTE: no verification takes place, it is therefore possible to create invalid templates and collections.
- Dataset Tab contains "Segments" tab (in addition to Datasets and Collections) for projects that have Signal data (i.e., Eyeota/Campaign) injected.
Improvement
- DM-838 Add Python config and debug info to command line - type "python" in command line to return python version number.
- DM-845 AnalyseSegments - Add "TargA Percent" and "TargA Rank" as optional additional output columns - new modes added: ranking, target_nontarget
- DM-852 Demo enhancements for going from Venn to Overlap - the overlap report will apply the following settings: hide empty set row=true, Count mode=Count, Sort Mode=Count, hide settings
- DM-843 %OUTPUT% not being resolved by XProcess - Can't use OUTPUT folders as locations for temp files
- DM-876 API: CreateTableFromWorkbook allows wildcards in 'stringFields' - Supports wild-card at the beginning and/or end of string, supporting string conversion for a set of fields with known prefix/suffix but unknown names.
- DM-864 Overlap - ability to cancel calculation - long-running overlap calculations can be cancelled via Admin | System Information | Threads
- DM-897 Change Campaigns Menu to Signals - Main menu item is now called Signals
- DM-898 OVERLAP - Attach fields to table - Empty Data Set Row setting is honoured - empty set rows will be exported as null if Hide Empty Set Row is selected
Bug
- DM-865 Venn -> Overlap is not bringing across base filter and applying as target filter - filter is now applied in overlap report
- DM-799 Dataset template - unable to add a field to an existing DS template if the field is created after the template - new fields are now available in template field selector
- DM-866 OVERLAP - Run button disappears when using res 1920x1050 at 125% scale - reposition run button - run button is always available
- DM-889 Multi-Dimensional Pivot Profile Totals including null count when null field not displayed - Totals will now match sum of visible data rows
