Adobe ID for separate DPS applications mandatory?

Apr 25, 2012 2:25 AM

In the documentation Adobe recommends the use of separate Adobe ID for each application. This makes perfect sense for multi issue applications. It becomes a pain to create a new email to register a new Adobe ID for every Single Folio app created. I am wondering if there is any drawback to managing all the single folio apps under one Adobe ID such as single.folio@company.com ?

    Honestly, I wouldn’t bother doing it for single edition apps. No real reason for that, IMO.

     

     

     

    The other Bob (the important one  ) may have more to say on that.

    The only drawback I'm aware of in using the same Adobe ID for single-issue apps is that the analytics data is combined.

    Of course. I was thinking for non-pro and enterprise customers.

    I've posed this question as well several times to our Adobe rep and always got a "I wouldn't recommend it, but I don't see why you can't" type of response.

     

    As mentioned, the only real issue here should be an impact on analytics.

     

    Within Analytics for a single-app with a single account for each, you'd just see one folio that would contain all of the associated analytics data.

     

    Within Analytics for a single-app with a single account for all, you'd see all of your folios contained within that account. If you're building lots of single-issue apps this would seem more managable to me, as you don't have a bunch of analytics suites to manage.

     

    However, I'm not sure what analytics are tracked at the "app" level. For instance, if in SiteCatalyst, it tracks "app installs", then you'd get any app installs associated with that account, which would be problematic/false data if this login is actually linked to several different applications that share the report suite.

    This is what I believe to be the case. But I haven't tested it with live apps to confirm. I'm also not aware what "app level" analytics SC offers.
