2. curated content blocks on the analytics home page

   See also the community post which allows for better formatting: https://usercommunity.optimizely.com/c/analytics/feature-request-curated-content-blocks-on-the-analytics-home-page

   The problem

   What we see

   Home is a single list of every report, sorted by the date it was last edited. This suits builders, who want the work they touched most recently.

   Other audiences meet the same page and face a different task. They want to find the report that matters and trust it.

   Newest is not best. A test copy edited today sits above a reviewed report edited last month.

   Trusted and experimental reports look the same. A copy named "Dashboard_copy" sits next to an approved report.

   Structure is hidden. Folders, such as "Main Reports", appear only as a small tag.

   Guidance is hard to find. Warnings, such as "do not edit this dashboard", sit inside report descriptions.

   The page is plain. It has no pictures, no pinned items, and no starting point for new users.

   Why it matters

   Home is the first impression of the whole analytics product. Senior leaders and new users see this page first.

   We’re democratising access to data and dashboard building, so we want people to get a full exposure to the platform, this curates the first impression of the platform.

   The page works. It does not yet show how much good work sits behind it. This can affect how the product is judged and how widely it is used inside an organisation.

   The proposed feature

   The idea

   Home becomes an ordered list of blocks. Users with edit rights add, move, and remove blocks from a short menu. Nobody needs to write code.

   A curated area sits at the top of Home.

   All content is the default block. It holds today's sort row, search box, and report list. Nobody can remove it, but an editor can move it up or down.

   The header, left nav, create cards, and Filters panel stay as they are.

   With no curated blocks, the page is the same as it is now.

   Content blocks

   Header. Page title, purpose, and optional search.

   Callout. Warnings and notices.

   Featured report. The one report that matters most, with a picture.

   Card grid. Pinned reports with a name, picture, and short description.

   Link list. Dense lists with a name, one line of text, and an owner.

   Tile row. Navigation by area.

   Embedded report. A live, read-only report in a frame.

   Mock Up

   Page templates

   Templates give editors a starting point they can change.

   Team hub. Header, callout, featured report, pinned cards, embedded report, link list, and area tiles.

   Executive overview. Header, one embedded headline report, and three deep-dive cards.

   Getting started. Header, numbered steps, and template cards to copy.

   Ways to create the blocks

   We would welcome any of these, or a mix.

   A. Mark Eting. The editor describes the page in plain words. For example, "a team hub with our five main dashboards and a warning about the read-only report". Mark Eting proposes the blocks, and the editor reviews and changes them. This fits how people already use "Ask Mark".

   B. Form builder. The editor adds a block, fills in a short form, and drags blocks to reorder them.

   C. Sheet or CSV import. One row per item, with columns for name, description, link, type, owner, and image. This allows bulk edits and version history.

   D. Tag driven. Report owners tag a report, and a block fills itself from the tag. This stays current without manual work, but gives less control over order.

3. Feature Request: Improve Label Display for Path Visuals

   When a path visual contains a long label, the text is not displayed correctly and may be truncated or difficult to read.

   It would be helpful to provide additional label formatting options, such as:

   Rotating the label text
   Automatically reducing the font size
   Wrapping the text across multiple lines

   This would allow users to view the complete label at a glance without needing to hover over it or take additional steps.

4. Reuse Saved Explore Visualizations Across Experiments

   Allow users to copy or reuse saved visualizations from one experiment's Explore tab in other experiments without manually recreating them.

   Currently, saved explorations are tied to individual experiments, requiring users to rebuild the same reports for each experiment.

   The requested enhancement would allow users to:

   Copy or duplicate saved explorations across experiments.

   Reuse existing visualizations without rebuilding their configurations.

   Add explorations from multiple experiments to a shared dashboard.

   This would reduce repetitive work, improve reporting consistency, and make it easier to compare experiment performance.

6. OA Homepage Improvements

   Feature request: curated content blocks on the Analytics Home page
   Andrew Somerharju-Neale proposes a feature request for the Analytics Home page to better serve leaders and occasional users by adding a curated content area at the top.

   Problem: The current Home page is a single list of reports, sorted by last edit date, which suits report builders but not other users who need to find and trust important reports.
   Request: Introduce a curated section with simple content blocks while keeping the existing content list unchanged.
   Why it matters: The Home page is the first impression of the analytics product, impacting its perception and usage within an organization.
   Proposed Feature: Transform Home into an ordered list of blocks, allowing users with edit rights to add, move, and remove blocks without coding. The curated area would include:

   Header: Page title and purpose.
   Callout: Warnings and notices.
   Featured report: Highlighting the most important report.
   Card grid: Pinned reports with descriptions.
   Link list: Dense lists with owner information.
   Tile row: Navigation by area.
   Embedded report: A live, read-only report.
   Mock Up: Page templates like "Team hub" and "Executive overview" offer starting points for editors.

   Ways to create blocks: Options include Mark Eting, Form builder, Sheet or CSV import, and Tag driven methods.

   Andrew asks if others have found workarounds or would find this feature useful.

7. Feature Request: Pagination within Dashboards

   Add a pagination feature within dashboards, allowing users to divide long dashboards into multiple pages rather than displaying all visuals and subsections on a single scrollable page. Users could create new pages and move visuals across as needed.

   The main two benefits I see are:

   • Easier Navigation

   • Reduced Query Costs (Queries appear to run as each respective visual enters the viewport. Pagination provides a direct path to desired content, reducing unnecessary query execution and costs)

8. Allow Opti ID authentication for customer-managed non-DXP environments (self-hosted)

   Related: EPTS-4294

   Problem:

   Opti ID is currently only available for environments hosted within DXP. Many DXP customers run one or more additional environments outside DXP, in our case a self-hosted Test environment in our own Azure subscription, used for QA before code reaches the DXP Integration environment.

   Because Opti ID cannot be enabled there, we cannot authenticate CMS editors and administrators in that environment using the same mechanism we use everywhere else. This creates a permanent configuration divergence between our QA environment and every environment downstream of it.

   Why this matters:

   Authentication and authorization are exactly the kind of thing QA exists to catch. With Opti ID unavailable in our Test environment, we would have to:

   maintain a second, parallel authentication configuration purely for QA;
   test Opti ID-dependent behaviour (role mapping, access rights, session handling, product switching) for the first time in a DXP environment rather than before it; and accept that any Opti ID-related defect surfaces later in the pipeline, where it is more expensive to fix.

   For CMS 13 this becomes sharper, since Opti ID gates Opal, the Embedded DAM, and Optimizely Connect Platform. Any feature depending on those cannot be meaningfully QA'd outside DXP at all.

   Requested capability:

   The ability for a DXP customer to register one or more additional, customer-controlled hostnames and redirect URIs against their existing Opti ID configuration, for example, permitting a nominated non-production hostname to authenticate against the Integration environment's Opti ID instance.

   This is conceptually the same allowance already made for local development, where a non-DXP host (localhost on specified ports) is permitted to use the Integration environment's Opti ID credentials. We are asking for that same principle to extend to a customer-managed non-production environment with a stable hostname, which is arguably a lower-risk case than localhost, since the host is fixed, TLS-terminated, and under our control.

   Suggested constraints:

   Restricted to non-production environments only
   Limited to a small number of additional hostnames per customer
   Requires HTTPS and a verified domain
   Provisioned by Optimizely on request rather than fully self-service
   Tied to the Integration environment's credentials rather than issuing a new Opti ID instance

   Relationship to the planned self-service redirect URI portal

   The CMS 13 FAQ notes that a self-service portal for managing redirect URIs is planned. We would ask that its scope explicitly include hostnames outside DXP, not only DXP-hosted environments and localhost. If that portal covers this case, it resolves our request entirely.

   Current workaround and its cost:

   Our only current option is to run our Test environment on a different authentication scheme from all other environments, which means the authentication path is untested until it reaches DXP. If that is unworkable for us, the alternative is deferring Opti ID adoption entirely, which in CMS 13 also defers Opal, DAM and OCP.

9. Opti Analytics - Cart Abandonment Rate

   eCommerce Specialist, I maintain our B2B website.

   We are looking for an Abandonment Cart % rate and from what I am explained from your techs is the following:

   I reached out to our Analytics Engineering team to verify whether there is an out-of-the-box feature or configuration that can provide this data. Unfortunately, we don't currently have that capability.

   At this time, the best workaround would be to either:
   Download a copy of the database and extract the required information directly.
   Create a custom integration job to export the dataset.

   You guys have the data, just formulate it for us, please make this easier on your customers. Thanks

10. Allow customers to add an additional OpenTelemetry exporter for DXP application telemetry

    Once Optimizely DXP migrates the .NET stack from Classic SDK 2.x to OpenTelemetry (required by 2027-03-31 when Microsoft retires Classic 2.x support), please add a per-environment config that lets DXP customers register an additional telemetry exporter pointing at their own Application Insights resource (or OTLP endpoint). DXP's existing exporter stays untouched.

    Why customers need this

    DXP application telemetry currently goes only to a DXP-managed Application Insights resource. Customers can be granted read-only API-key access, but that's insufficient for:

    • End-to-end distributed traces spanning customer-owned frontend/API services and the CMS backend. W3C traceparent already propagates correctly through DXP's Classic SDK 2.21.0 — the trace data exists, we just can't get it into our own resource.
    • Unified SIEM / log-aggregation feeds (Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, etc.) that expect one ingestion path.
    • Customer-controlled retention, sampling, and access policies.

    API-key access doesn't enable Azure cross-resource KQL (which would help) because that's gated on Azure AD RBAC, and DXP support cannot grant RBAC per policy. The only current workaround is for every customer to build their own pull-and-forward integration — duplicated engineering effort across the customer base.

    Why this is now feasible and low-risk

    OpenTelemetry is designed to support multiple exporters per signal — adding a second is a one-line SDK registration with zero impact on the first. The double-counting / Activity.Current conflict concerns that apply to mixing Classic SDK 2.x with the OTel Distro don't apply once the whole stack is OpenTelemetry-based. DXP's existing pipeline, dashboards, alerts, and SLA stay exactly as today.

    Proposed implementation

    A per-customer-per-environment config in the DXP portal:

    • CUSTOMER_APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING → DXP registers a second AzureMonitorExporter.
    • Or more generally, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT for any OTLP destination (Datadog, New Relic, Splunk OTLP, Grafana Tempo, self-hosted collectors, etc.).

    Customer-supplied Azure Monitor endpoints are in the same domain family as DXP's own (already allowlisted in egress). Per-customer opt-in; zero impact on customers who don't enable it.

    Once Optimizely DXP migrates the .NET stack from Classic SDK 2.x to OpenTelemetry (required by 2027-03-31 when Microsoft retires Classic 2.x support), please add a per-environment config that lets DXP customers register an additional telemetry exporter pointing at their own Application Insights resource (or OTLP endpoint).

11. Variance Reduction for Experiments in Low-Frequency E-Commerce Context

    I'm a UX researcher and have been reading up on CUPED for an upcoming experiment. I understand that CUPED is currently set up in Optimizely Analytics to work on the past two weeks of data for the metric of interest, which must be numeric (e.g., Revenue). As is the case for many low-frequency e-commerce products, many of our customers won't have revenue events in the two weeks leading up to an experiment.

    As I dove deeper down the rabbit hole, I came across CUPAC, developed by DoorDash in 2020. CUPAC solves the above problem by using a model-based predicted outcome as the covariate, computed from features observable at exposure time. DoorDash's own benchmark shows 10-20% sample size reduction, which compounds the value Optimizely already delivers. I'd love to have CUPAC as part of Optimizely Analytics.

15. Preview Experiment Results in CMP via Collaboration

    I am the product owner of the web experimentation platform. We also use the CMP. I connected the two platforms so that we could collaborate on variations, view metrics & run time within the CMP, however, results are not viewable within the CMP.

    This defeats a large purpose of the connection between the two tools, because I want users within the CMP to see the results within our projects, without having to go into the Experimentation platform. This will save me time manually reporting on experiments, and would enable anyone who is part of that CMP Hypothesis to see the results right from within the project.
