Auto-creation of Top Movers

By default, auto-creation of Top Movers is disabled for new installations or upgraded Discover solutions.

Through the Portal, you can enable auto-creation of Top Movers using independent settings for daily and hourly Top Movers.

Enabling

When auto-creation is enabled for one or both types of Top Movers, the following occurs:

Top Movers for all active and reportable events and dimensions are immediately created, and tracking is enabled.
Note: For systems with many events and dimensions, the number of Top Movers that must be immediately created may be significant. The creation, subsequent calculations, and data storage requirements may significantly increase. See Data implications of auto-creating Top Movers.

Note: Newly created Top Movers are not displayed in the Portal in draft mode or as new objects. They simply appear after creation. See Seeing updates in the Event Manager.
- For events and event + dimension combinations that are provided by Discover, if the event object is marked as being reportable, then a Top Mover is created for Discover event objects.
Top Movers that were previously disabled remain disabled.
For any events and dimensions that are created after auto-creation was enabled, corresponding Top Movers are also created, and tracking is enabled.
- Data is not back-filled after a Top Mover is auto-created.
- When Top Movers are next calculated, the new Top Mover is included in the calculations. Data is calculated based on the data that is collected since the last Top Mover calculation.

Using the same Portal settings, you can disable auto-creation of Top Movers. When auto-creation is disabled, the following occurs:

All currently active Top Movers are disabled.
- Top Movers may be re-enabled manually through the Event Manager.
Top Movers are not created automatically for later created events or dimensions.
- For new events and dimensions, Top Movers may be created manually through the Event Manager.
- See Manage Events - Top Movers Tab.

Note: If an event is disabled, no corresponding Top Movers are disabled. You must disable them manually.
