Analytics Setup

The Analytics follow a basic setup process. You will begin by Building charts which are made up of data sets, groups and data points respectively. Once these are configured Teams and Key Metrics can be added as well.

Add a Data Set

These Data Sets will show as folders under your Metrics tab within the Analytics Menu. This means they have the ability to be ran by Time, Client, Employee, Job or Team.

  2. Choose Data Set Configuration
  3. Select the 3 Bar Menu icon in the top right corner of your Analytics
  4. Choose Add Chart Data Set to create a new Data Set

  7. (Optional) Enter a Data Set Description

  2. Choose the Plus icon to create a Group within your Data Set
  3. Select the Data Point type that will be in this group. Note that a Group can only have either Activities or Pipeline Events, but a Data Set may contain multiple different types of Groups

  5. Search the list of Available Data Points and use the arrow icons to move the desired events to Selected.
    1. Hold CTRL to select multiple events
    2. Hold SHIFT to encompass a group of events in your selection
    3. Drag and Drop items between Available and Selected
  6. Save your Group

You may continue to add Groups to your Data Set which will be included when running your analytics, we however, do not recommend creating more than twenty Groups.
 
Once your Data Set is created, it will be added to your Analytics menu.

Creating Key Metrics

Key Metrics will be used to see the KPIs you are analyzing. Please note; you must setup Goals before you are able to develop your Key Metrics.

  3. Select the Data Set for which you wish to set goals.
  4. Enter a display name for this KPI in the “KPI Display Name” box
  5. Select the direction you would like the trend to head. For instance; “Higher is Better” would be appropriate when analyzing “Phone Calls Made” whereas “Lower is Better” when analyzing “Rejected Candidates.”
  6. Use the spreadsheet to enter goals for each user per month.  

Customizing Key Metrics

  1. Select Administration from the Analytics Menu
  2. Select Configure Key Metrics
  3. Select the Options Menu in the top right corner and choose Add.
  4. Once on the Add New Key Analytic Screen you will give your Key Metric a name as well as assign it to the appropriate users. This is done by moving the user name to the right side of the screen in the “Selected” column. These users will see the Key Metric upon logging in to the Analytics.
  5. Now you will open the Action dropdown for the appropriate Key Metric and choose Design
  6. Select one of the eight blank rectangles which will appear at the top of the screen, “Add” will appear when you hover over an available slot.
  7. You will then be presented with each of the Goals you have created. Choose the timeframe for which you wish to analyze this goal; Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly.
  8. Once your timeframe is chosen the Goal is analyzed (Using Sample Data), you may view the goal in fraction form (number complete over goal number), circle chart with the black bar representing your current number complete, and the statistics of the current time frame vs. previous.
  9. Click the Chart button to add a Chart to your Key Metric as well. Here you will select any of your data sets and the timeframe you wish to have easy access to.
