DPS Analytics, Download Started

Where is the difference between Download Started and Download Completed. Why is both shown in the Analytics-Tool?

See http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/dps/analytics-report/dps-analytics-report-gui de.pdf. Page 13 is the start of the explanations for all the download events.

  • In analytics, what happened to all the downloads started?

    Hi guys,
    In one of my folios i have 99 downloads started - pretty good i thought.
    But out of those only 20 were completed, 6 had download errors and 17 were cancelled... that's only 43.
    What happened to the other 46?
    Any help would be appreciated - i'm sure others must be wondering the same thing.

    Hi Jen,
    Indeed, there was a similar post few days ago.
    There could be 3 causes why the sum of Issue Download (Completed+Errors+Cancelled) is different than Issue Download Started:
    User starts to download folio A ('Issue Download Started' event is sent for folio A). Before the current download ends, user starts to download folio B. In this case, another 'Issue Download Started' event is sent for folio B, but folio A will remain in 'Download Paused' state without reaching a final Download state (Completed/Errors/Cancelled). Only if the user will tap again on the  folio A, the download will be resumed (following this scenario, user can start simultaneously several download, only the last download will reach a final download state). This is most probably the cause why you are seeing different numbers
    User will start the download in the current day, but the final download state will be send in the next day. In this case, if the selected interval  ends today, then the raport will not contain the final Download state
    If the user has opt-in dialog enabled, it can select 'Don't Allow' tracking after the dowload starts and before the download will reach a final state. In this case, the events will  not be sent
    Hope this helps,

  • DPS Analytics problems

    I'm having troubles with my DPS analytics.
    I have a digital magazine about games Invader Mag. It's made for iPhone and iPad
    When I look into the anaytics there are more downloads completed than download started... This can't be right?
    Can someone help me out with this?
    thx

    You can see more completed downloads than started ones because of the analytics opt-in dialog. If the downloads started before the user opted-in, the start event will not be captured, but the completed event (if it happen after opt-in) will be.

  • DPS Analytics Query - Any Advice?

    Can anyone offer insight into why the Folio download data within DPS Analytics differs so greatly to the App Download data within AppFigures? I understand the differences in data collection between the two and I get that the metrics are unlikely to ever match 100% but what I don't understand is why AppFigures tells me I have 1042 App downloads and DPS Analytics tells me I only have 347 folio downloads? Surely such a discrepancy has a valid explanation other than excluding download to desktop from iTunes and failure to successfully launch? Any advice or recommendation would be hugely appreciated.

    I'm definitely not an expert in this area, but keep in mind:
    1) Users may start your app downloading then move on to other things and forget about it. I know I've done this with apps numerous times.
    2) They may see they have to download the free folio, start the download, navigate away from the app, and then forget about it. I believe this is what Johannes means when he says it's the "biggest problem" with multi-folio apps.
    3) We'll only report a folio download once the full folio has been downloaded. It's possible that your users are starting the folio download, viewing the folio as soon as enough has come down to open it (but not the full folio), then leaving the app. If they don't continue the download that partial download won't be reflected in your totals.

  • DPS analytics - can you get separate view stats for online html views vs ipad views?

    Hi All,
    New to DPS and reporting usage stats to a client and wanted to know if you can separate out views stats from readers who have viewed the publictaion on an iPad vs thos who have viewed it via HTML ( on a laptop/desptop etc).
    Thanks

    No with the default baseline analytics, Yes if you have an Omniture Site Catalyst account which does the advanced reporting. More on Site Catalyst reporting http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/dps/analytics-report/dps-analytics-report-gui de.pdf

  • DPS Analytics : Data to understand

    Hi,
    What's the difference between "Visits" and "Content Views" in analyzing DPS dashboard. For the same page we have seen 1000 visits and 3000 content views. Please let us know. Thanks

    Hi Ediz,
    We have a document describing all the data that's being measured by the viewers: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/dps/analytics-report/dps-analytics-report-gui de.pdf
    From that doc:
    Content Views: Counts the number of times that clients view each Ad and Article.
    Visits: Displays the number of visits to the Digital Publishing application during the specified time period.
    DPS uses the Adobe Analytics definition of a visit, best described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/analytics/kb/comparing-unique-visitors-to-visits.html
    Visits: The number of sessions within a given time period. A visit is defined as a sequence of consecutive page views without a 30-minute break, or continuous activity for 12 hours. They most commonly consist of multiple image requests, however visitors that bounce can consist of a single page view.
    Hope this helps,
    Raul

  • Does DPS Analytics show the folio type?

    With DPS Analytics is there anyway to tell which folio type has been downloaded, an iPhone or an iPad folio?
    If not is there any other way to compare iPhone DPS usage versus iPAD DPS usage?

    You can create Issue Name reports and find out how many Issues got downloaded on each device type (iPad 1, iPad 3, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 etc.).

  • HT1725 Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions.

    Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions. Is there a way to change that?

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • TS3212 im running XP with all firewalls and pop up blockers off. Ive tried using chrome, firefox, and IE. no download starts and im redirected to the thank you screen, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    im running XP with all firewalls and pop up blockers off. Ive tried using chrome, firefox, and IE. no download starts and im redirected to the thank you screen, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive read all related articles, aswers and solutions but cant seem to get tunes to download?

    Ive tried from my PC, and ive tried from another which runs Vista. Both pc's were tried using firefox, IE and chrome,and both had firewalls off and pop-ups allowed completely (I basically turned off all security). I checked for 3rd party software which could also cause "blocks" but all 3rd party software were eliminated. I even tried stopping and restarting windows installer in "computer management; services, services". Still no luck..... This is the first time that ive struggled downloading Itunes. The reason im trying to download itunes is because im attempting to restore my iphone 4.....

  • HT1926 Tried installing itunes for 64 bit Windowns on my PC but soon after download starts the box disappears and nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Tried installing itunes for 64 bit Windowns on my PC several times but each time soon after download starts the box disappears and nothing happens. Any ideas?

    11.Once the updates are done, make sure you are booted into Windows and call Microsoft support and explain the issue (doing a clean installation with an upgrade disk.) The issue is very common and not specific to Mac users so they will pass you to Tech support and help you activate your copy of Windows.
    Not always. I tried. Easier to reinstall Windows 7 over itself, activated fine. Or just do the legal thing and buy full copy. Mac Pro owners that want dual processor support need Pro or Ultimate (Enterprise also) rather than Home Premium.
    I would NOT use Boot Camp 3.1, it causes problems for number of Mac Pro owners, though maybe not all so unclear what/why) but just stay with Boot Camp 3.0x from the Snow Leopard DVD (which can have trouble with AppleHFS)

  • Using DPS analytics

    Are visits/sessions from the Web Content Viewer recorded in the DPS analytics? If so is there a view that shows which visits are through the App vs. the Web Content Viewer?

    Thanks for the response. Are the sessions/visits for the web still tracked? I was checking out the web version yesterday and the session did not show up in the session section under Folio on the analytics page.

  • DPS analytics access for client only

    Hello
    My internal clients want to access the DPS analytics, but the thing is I am not confortable to give this password and access to several people and also, afraid some would access the Folio Producer and delete or unpublish/publish some content (change the name of my folio etc). Well you had understood me I don't want them to access to the Folio Producer
    Is ther anyway to create an access to just the analytics or create a parallele account??

    No. The account ID assigned an Application role can view Analytics and Folio Producer but not DPS App Builder.

  • When pausing download or download fails re-download starts from scratch

    I would have thought a major upgrade like itunes had lately would have solved this problem already.
    podcast that was stopped due to error or was paused voluntarily -
    when trying to re-start the download, all that was downloaded already is lost!!!!!
    even if it reached 80% or more, the download starts from scratch!!!!
    please correct this, this is incredibly annoying!!!!!!

    thanks, I sent them "feedback" about it as you suggested.
    But I would have thought this is not the first time someone encounters this basic problem!
    Maybe someone here can tell me it is known, and it is being worked on or something?
    Thanks again
