Make wildcards possible in "Site or app address" field (*.example.com)

Request a feature & Roadmap
1

Hello together,

I have the problem that a clients website has thousands of subdomains, additionally some of them continuously changing. Thus, it is not possible to fill all of them into the configuration field “Site or app address”.

However, it would be great to be able to do this, because then referral handling could be more exact and make possible more detailed insights.

Thus, could you please make possible to also fill wildcards i.e. *.example.com into this configuration field?

Hi @thomasgerstmann,

Sure, I will write a feature request for that. Also, if you disable below option in Administration => Data collection settings, every site where you place tracking container, the tracking requests will be sent.

Hi @Adam,

thank you very much!

The option “Collect data only from known sites” was already configured like shown in your screenshot.

Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Adam,

thanks for your fast reply!

The minor data referral data quality, because of this topic here, is regularly and recurringly an analytics/reporting problem for us.

The problem is, user movements between different subdomains (which are not being explicitly mentioned in this list) result in the start of new sessions. And thus, goal attribution is disturbed by such new sessions which should not happen. Such movements from one to another subdomain should - in our case - not start a new users session.

Thus: Do you have an estimation, when this will be implemented and available?

Hi @Adam,

checkin again in on this topic. Doing an analysis again these days, where - once more - this factor disturbs data quality. Do you have any assumption when this feature could be solved/added?

Thanks for your feedback!

Kind regards
Thomas

Hello @thomasgerstmann

I’ve made sure to include your feedback and this topic in user feedback. We don’t have any time frame for implementation of this feature for now.

Hi @jfidala thanks for taking these details into account. That there is no time frame, of course is unsatisfying. Heretic question: Would it maybe help a bit to proceed faster, if this feature request would be for a paying Piwik client? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
