I also think that it's the responsibility of Web analysts to ensure that the reporting is intuitive to stakeholders in whatever form information is delivered. Adam - Thanks for the information there! I've never hidden the variables themselves when creating custom reports from classifications. I always assume that someone is sophisticated enough to need/use those to build their own reports. Glad I won't make that mistake in the future now though should it ever come up! Ben – That’s exactly my point, and I think that more people should be doing exactly that.

If you try to make a report that has classifications a Custom report and hide the real variable (with the classifications), you will no longer be able to do breakdowns.

Occasionally, I hear a complaint that SiteCatalyst isn't "user-friendly" out of the box. The problem is that "user-friendly" means different things to different organizations; what might be an intuitive UI for one company may make no sense at all to another. Menu customization overcomes any such complaints. It is a great way to ensure that ANY organization's users can find information quickly and easily. Great post, Jason.
