Labs User Guide
Labs allows for faster prototyping of early-stage ideas. It is a combination of tools and processes that accelerates development transparently, with a customer focus. It allows users to engage with emerging technologies, to discover valuable insights, and to influence future feature development and priorities. You can use Labs to get early access to Adobe Analytics innovations and to evaluate upcoming features within the context of your own business use cases and data.
Requirements
Labs is automatically enabled for all admins. Other team members should contact their product administrators and request access.
If you have not already done so, read and sign the applicable Non-Disclosure Agreement and Terms & Conditions forms.

Projects created within the prototype environment cannot be saved or shared.
-
In a prototype, you can evaluate the data with any dimensions, metrics, segments and visualizations that you otherwise have access to within Workspace.
-
Any changes you make within a prototype will not affect data collection or processing.
-
Changes made through creation or modification of segments, calculated metrics, and alerts persist outside of the prototype environment.

-
Click Submit to send your feedback.
