It would be sometimes useful to Expand (show recursively) the data for some reports since the expanded data is very important for these:

When creating the Scheduled report, users could check a box "For Pages, Downloads, Outlinks report, Expand and show Top Pages in the hierarchy"

  • if a category has 10 children categories and pages, I propose we display the 4 top ones in each sub category.
  • The 5th listing will be the truncated row ("Others") or the 5th page/category if there were only 5.
    • countries/fr/paris/
    • countries/fr/marseille/
    • countries/fr/lyon/
    • countries/fr/bordeaux/
    • countries/fr/Others (this is the truncated row)

See #2816 and #2742

Hi,

In Piwik 1.9.2, by adding

  • parameters.flat = '1'; in PDFReports/templates/pdf.js
  • flat=1' in the Download URL in PDFReports/templates/list.tpl
    I was able to have all pages of all categories in my report.

Since 1.10.1 it does not work anymore. How can I fix that ?

Best regards

In my report for custom variables stand for example:

selected_country 1000

But i need to see the items of the next level:

selected_country 1000
de-de 800
int_en 150
fr-fr 50

also currently, when directories don't have a + prepended to the string, which makes it hard to visualize in the PDF report. we should add simple + in front of categories #6488

Now that flatten is very fast for Page URLs I reckon it would be really useful to flatten Page URL report by default in Scheduled reports

(It would also make issue #6488 less visible although still important to address)

currently I change global settings to get this feature (hardcoded), but that changes every table too.

@johnnydevs

@WittTheRock how's that working out for you?

@WittTheRock

Since Custom Variables are going to be dropped in favour of Custom Dimensions at some point, would those be expandable as well? Dimensions currently don't seem to selectable for e-mail reporting at all, event with the plugin installed.

Additionally, the presentation of Events in the e-mail reporting is not very satisfying. Event Categories, Actions, and Names are shown in separate tables, although the data makes more sense if displayed in hierarchical composition.

@fberke FYI Custom Dimensions are available in the Scheduled reports, under the category Actions for actions dimensions, and under Visits for visit custom dimensions.

As of 2.16.1 adding "&flat=1" works in PDF at least for URL. Why not make a quick fix by adding the checkbox to the "create email reports" interface with "Expand URL" ?

You can't count on asking simple editors to modify urls by hand...

I just wanted to ask what's the current state of this issue?
I checked a few pull requests but didn't find the answer. Is in the current state of development a flat view of custom variables already possible?
If not, how big is the chance, to get all this in 3.0.0?

We are using Scheduled Reports via Mail and track user selected UI languages. It's useless when product owners receive a PDF report but doesn't see which language has been selected in the non-flatten view.

@Fensterbank in Piwik 3, all scheduled reports will show Flattened reports, when they support it. Flatten is enabled for all reports and can't be disabled. Should be a big win for all readers of the email reports! 👍
