After you purchase Quick Audience, you must import data tables to the system. Then, you can use your data to perform operations such as user insight and analysis.
To quickly get started with Quick Audience, let's take the workspace administrator as an example to illustrate how to quickly configure the computing and analytics sources and import user tag tables.
Prerequisites
Quick Audience is purchased by your Alibaba Cloud account. In this case, the Alibaba Cloud account automatically becomes the administrator of the organization and can use the default workspace as the workspace administrator. You can also create other workspaces and set other users as the workspace administrator. For more information, see Organization and Workspace Management.
You have purchased MaxCompute, AnalyticDB for MySQL 3.0 or Hologres.
A user tag table has been prepared according to the User Tag Table Data Requirements and stored in the MaxCompute.
1. Add computing and analysis sources
Data sources in Quick Audience distinguish between computing sources and analysis sources:
Computing Source: The raw data table is stored in the computing source and will be used for ID Mapping. ID Mapping calculates the user ID and tags that integrate this space and assigns a QAID to the user. Add a computing source to each workspace. The type of the computing source is MaxCompute.
For more information about how to add a MaxCompute computing source, see Computing Source.
Analysis source: User data is synchronized to the analysis source after being integrated by the computing source. If you need to use user IDs and tags in the future, the user data is obtained from the analysis source. Add an analysis source for each space. The data type supports AnalyticDB for MySQL 3.0 (ADB3.0) and Hologres.
Add a Hologres or AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL 3.0 analysis source. For more information, see Analysis Source.
2. Set the user ID type
For more information about the types of user IDs that Quick Audience supports by default, see ID types.
If the ID type of the data table that you prepared is not in this range, add a custom ID type. For more information, see Add A Custom ID.
3. Set user attributes
Quick Audience allows you to build a user attribute information system from a user tag table. The actual values of user attributes are derived from the user tag table. You need to specify which tags are used as the values of user attributes when you configure the structure of the user tag table, and assign values to user attributes when you import the user tag table.
Therefore, before importing, if the user tags table you prepared contains tags that can be used as user attributes, set them as user attributes:
The system provides some preset user attributes. For more information, see User Attributes.
You can also customize user attributes based on your business requirements. For more information, see Customize User Attributes.
4. Import data tables
After you configure the computing and analysis sources in the workspace, import the tables in the computing and analysis sources to Quick Audience. While importing, the computing source will identify the user identity, calculate the user ID and tag of the integrated space, and assign the QAID to the user. The result will be synchronized to the analysis source.
Quick Audience allows you to analyze a variety of data tables. In this example, a user tag table is imported. The user tag table stores user IDs, attributes, and other tags. You can also import user behavior tables, statistics tables, order details tables, and order summary tables. For more information, see Import data into Documentation.
If the ID field in the data table is encrypted by AES, enter the key in Organization System Configuration so that the system can decrypt it before using it or pushing it.
The operation of importing a data table consists of two parts: configure the table structure and create a scheduling task.
Configuration table structure:
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Workspace> Configuration Management> Data Import > Table Schema Configuration.
In the upper-right corner, choose New Table Configuration > User Tag. The Create User Tag page appears.
Select the computing source and data table that you want to import.
Set the following parameters: Alias, User ID, User ID Type, Tag Name, Tag Mapping, Tag Type, ID Type, ID Encryption Method, Tag Category, and Tag Description. Click Complete.
For more information, see Import User Tags.
Create a scheduling task:
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Configuration Management> Data Import > Data Import > Scheduling Tasks.
In the upper-right corner, click New Scheduling Task.
In the dialog box that appears, enter the task name and select the alias of the data table that you just configured.
Select a scheduling frequency.
For Manual Scheduling, you must manually schedule the task after it is created.
For Daily Scheduling and Hourly Scheduling, you must specify an execution cycle.
For Triggered Scheduling, you can call the API operation to send scheduling requests. For more information, see Create A Triggered Scheduling Task.
Click Save to complete the creation.
At the time you set, the system will start importing the data table. After that, you can use the imported user data for insight analysis.
For more information, see Scheduling Task.
