Hello!
Does anybody know / has experience in how to get Google Analytics reports in ARIS Mash Zone?
We want to use mash Zone as the only reporting tool and would be really glad if we could insert the analytics reports there too. I'v found ways how to do that via manual exporting to excel files and overwriting source sheets for mashzone data feed source files. Thought that there has got to be a more technologically advanced approach! :)
Has anybody done that already - please share your experience!
Thanks!

I investigated that too while creating the performance dashboard for ARIS Community, but I found no real solution. The problem is that you can only email reports on a regular basis. You would require a special email client/server, which copies attached files to a location, where you can access it with MashZone. That's of course a lot of effort so I decided to not do it at the moment as long as Google Analytics doesn't provide better export features.
Florian,
the Query explorer is really exciting. Alternatively, you could also use Google Data API which is based on REST protocol and Atom feeds. So, it is accessible with XML data source in Mashzone. But, unfortunately, there is one final link missing: for both use cases (query explorer and API) you have to authenticate using the Google Auth mechanism, which is not yet supported in MashZone.
