New Analytics features
Create your own dashboards.
Started in the 2022.2 version, the customization of the Analytics is now going even further. Back in the 2022.2 we offered to create your own dashboard but only based on those already drawn. Starting from now, you are completely free to create your own chart and add it to a dashboard, we will see the different steps to do so :
On the AnalyticsV2 screen, lands on your personal dashboard, you will see a new button called “Create a custom chart” :
By clicking on it, a popup with different steps will be opened:
Step 1 : Choosing the chart type
The first step is to choose the shape of your personnalized chart. The 5 types enables you to have different representation of your data.
Step 2 : The scope of the analysis
The second step is to narrow the scope of the analysis so you will have a precise chart. According to the scope you choose, you may see another radio button to precise the objects type you want to select.
Note : Because a dashboard only contains data about one scope, the scope choice might be disabled if you are building a chart in a dashboard that already contains some charts. It will be automatically set to the current one.
Step 3 : The aggreagation(s)
To build this chart, we use elaticsearch which will perform “aggregations” on the data. This step is about to define the differrent computation methods that will be performed on the data.
Note : The options you got on this step might differ according to your choices to the 2 precedent steps.
We will see 2 different examples so you can understand how it works :
In this first case : I have chosen to build a “Table” on my “Metadata statistics” only on “DAM Objects“, let’s review the different options that I have :
First I should choose an “Aggregation Field” : it determines the field to perform the main aggregation.
For example I will choose “User“ so my Table will be about the 50 top users that have made any action in my DAM.
Then, I have to choose the method to aggregate them together, it’s either “Sum” or “Sum single value”. By choosing “Sum”, we will simply do a sum of the actions made by a user, aggregate them together and take the top 50. On the other hand, if you choose “ Sum single value”, it enables to add another dimension to your analyze : I could choose for example “Browser”, it will draw a table with the different users and the numbers in my table will be the number of browsers that have been used by the user to perform an action, this is what we called a sub-aggregation.
In this second case : I have chosen to build a “Count” on my “Metadata statistics” only on “DAM Objects“, let’s review the different options that I have :
.png?version=1&modificationDate=1650312523077&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)
I have only to choose the method ( Sum or Sum single value) and the field on which I will make the aggregation.
Step 4 : Limit the actions
This step enables to select some of the actions that we stored in elasticsearch. For example, if you only want to draw a chart about “downloads”, you can select it in the dropdown and click next.
Note : This selector will be only activated, if the scope is “metadata statistics” otherwise it will be set by default.
Step 5 : Limit the query
The next step is about to filter the results, you can compare it to the filter you are adding the toolbar in the default dashboards : it enables you only select some events.
Note : The options and the available filters depend on the scope of the analysis.
Note : Pour donner des valeurs possibles, on réalise une aggrégation sur ce champ. Ainsi pour des raisons de performance, la période prise en compte est limitée aux 30 derniers jours.
Step 6 : Give your chart a name
It’s important to choose a precise name so you can remember what your chart is about.
Step 7 : The preview
The last step shows you the preview of the chart you just builded, based on the different options that you’ve set. You can change the period of time, and save it if you’re happy with the result. Otherwise you can come back in the steps and redraw it as you like!
Create your analytics alert.
In a matter of improving the analytics experience, it’s now possible to add “alerts” to all your analytics “count” chart.
The principe is the following : Based on the frequency you choose, we will compute the value of the chart and compared it to one of the precedent period, if the value overpasses the threshold value, you will receive a mail on the e-mail adress linked to your current user.
Note : This feature is only available in the customized dashboards.
Let’s review how it works in details :
When hovering a ”count” dashboard, you will now see a question mark as follows :
A white icon means there is no alert configured for this chart. Once one have been added, the icon will be yellow when hovering.
To add an alert, click on the icon, you will see the list of the alerts and the possibility to create a new one :
Then you will land on this screen with the following fields to complete :
Alert Frequency is the frequency at which we compute the value and compare it to the one of the precedent period. Possible values are daily, weekly or monthly.
Comparison type is the operator used for the comparaison ( can be > or <).
Value is the threshold value for comparaison.
Update in can be absolute value or percentage.
Once you validate you will land on the analytics alert list for the selected chart :
Note : It’s not possible to update an alert, just erase it and create a new one.
