New Analytics features

Create your own custom charts.

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 set up.

Starting from this version, you may create your own chart and add it to a dashboard.

On the Analytics screen, get on your personal dashboard, and look for a new button called “Create a custom chart” :

Open

By clicking on it, a popup with different steps will be opened:

• Step 1 : Choosing the chart type

Open

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.

• Step 3 : The aggregation(s)

To build this chart, we use ElasticSearch which will perform “aggregations” (sums) on the data.

This step is about to define the different computation methods that will be performed on the data.

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 :

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 ElasticSearcg. For example, if you only want to draw a chart about “downloads”, you can select it in the dropdown and click next.

• 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.

• 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 email alerts.

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 address linked to your current user.

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 :
