Article Overview

The article describes the reporting and analytics capabilities of EasySend's platform. It details the difference between detailed and overview analytics reports in addition to describing how to access and create them. The article also explains how to perform reports related troubleshooting.

Reports and Analytics 

The EasySend platform allows EasySend’s customers to create and view standard and customized periodic detailed tracking reports for business results and operations analysis. Customers can also create overview analytics reports that provide an overview of how digital processes are performing. This includes information on how many sessions were created, opened, and completed. The performance of sessions is also reflected on the Analytics dashboard. 

Detailed Reports Overview

Detailed reports are transaction-level reports aimed at reviewing specific transaction statuses or analyzing customer inputs in an aggregated manner.

The reports are typically used to assist customer facing teams to view customer specific information or the ‘status’ of the EasySend transaction. 

The information in the reports is composed from user input fields and metadata fields. 

How to Navigate to the Detailed Reports Screen?

(See Figure 1 to Figure 3)

Simple Report Data

When creating a simple report, its data is taken from two resources:

  • Metadata - fixed data that appears in every digital process. The Metadata is not affected by the selection of a business group and a process and contains the following information:
    • Device
      • Operating System (OS) Name
      • OS Version
      • Manufacturer
      • Browser Name
      • Browser Version
      • Browser Language
      • Type
    • Transaction
      • Source Value
      • Source Type
      • Request Identifier (RID)
      • masterRid
NOTE
  • The masterRid is a unique identifier of an EasySend transaction. When creating a transaction, it can be divided into steps, for example, when using the Workflow Manager.
  • The RID is a unique identifier of an EasySend step. Each step receives its own RID as part of its URL, and it is nested under the masterRid, for example:
      • Language
      • Language Gender
      • Is Co-Browsing On
      • Agent Group
      • Environment
      • Time
      • Type
      • Status
      • Customer Name
      • Customer Phone Number
      • Customer Email
      • Sender Name
      • Agent Trigger Type
      • Is Test Transaction
    • User:
      • Role
      • Geographical location (GEO)
  • Submitted Data - data items that were created using the Model. The submitted data is affected by the selection of a business group and a process. The submitted data appears according to the data structure of the Model displaying data items in the order in which they were created. Object type data items that contain other data items will display them when expended (see Figure 5):

Figure 5: Submitted Data

Creating a Simple Report 

(See Figure 6 and Figure 7)

To create a simple report, perform the following steps:

Figure 6: Creating a Simple Data Report

  1. Verify that the Simple/Custom switch (1) is set to Simple.
  2. Verify that the Active/Paused switch (2) is set to Active.
  3. Enter the subject of the email (3).
  4. Add the recipients (4).
  5. Select the business group (5) and the process (6).
  6. Select the desired metadata (7) and the desired submitted data (8).
  7. Set the data range (9).
  8. Set the schedule to determine when the report will be sent automatically (10).
  9. To evaluate the reception of the email with the report and view it, click the Send Test Email 
    button (11).

Result:

The Send Test Email window appears:

Figure 7: Send Test Email Window

  1. Select the desired recipients, either the same Report Receptions (12) you added in
    step or Alternative Report Receptions (13).
  2. Click the Ok button (14).

Simple Report Example 

A simple report is sent as an Excel sheet via an email to the added recipients. Figure 8 displays an example of an email and Figure 9 displays an example of a simple report.

Figure 8: Email Example

Figure 9: Report Example

Custom Report Data

When creating a custom report, you can edit the display name of the column headers that appear in the report and in addition you can select specific data items that will appear in the report from the Model.

How to Add Data to a Custom Report?

(See Figure 10 to Figure 12)

You can add data to a custom report using two different ways:

  • By selecting submitted data and/or metadata fields when the report is set to simple
  • By selecting specific data items from the Model while the report is set to custom.

To add data to a custom report, perform the following steps:

Figure 10: Simple Report - Data Selection

  1. Verify that the Simple/Custom switch (1) is set to Simple.
  2. Verify that the Active/Paused switch (2) is set to Active.
  3. In the Select Data section (3):
    1. Select the destined business group (4) and process (5).
    2. select the desired Submitted Data (6) and/or Metadata (7) fields.

  2. If necessary, edit the names.
  3. If necessary, rearrange the data by using the drag and drop option (14).
