Adding Custom KPIs

 

You can create custom metrics from scratch - but we've also added some common use cases that can be easily updated, for example:

  • Dates

  • Times

  • Number of Event Attendees

  • Coverage in Pipeline

  • Awards Won

Scroll down to the 'Build Your Own' section and select one or more options.

Click 'Add selected metrics to widget' when done.

If custom metrics have been added, you can now finalise their content. They consist of an icon, data and description.

Simply click on each element to tailor it to your needs:

Note: for automated metrics, users can change the icon and description, but not the data as that is generated from content in the report.

 

Reporting on Specific Sections (Coverage Regions, Tiers etc)

 

It's possible to show data for specific widgets only. This is helpful when reporting on different regions, tiers, proactive/reactive coverage etc in the same report. 

This works for Online, Social and Print coverage.

To show data for particular elements of the report, use the filter in the sidebar.

Top tip: be sure to give each widget a unique name so it can easily be identified in the filter.
