We are in the midst of significant improvements to the admin dashboard that will make it easier to access and interpret data about your community’s health and value. In this topic, we’ll share what we’re working on so you can see where we are headed!
For now, this is considered a highly experimental change! We are very much in the midst of development, so please expect to see some rough edges — particularly around performance — and lots of evolution in the coming weeks. We are doing dedicated testing with a limited group of customers which is informing most of the work at this time.
What’s changing
We are updating the dashboard to serve as a hub for admins who want at-a-glance insights about the health and value of their community. At the moment, the dashboard is composed of four sections:
-
Highlights, where admins can view important key performance indicators like signups, stickiness, and accepted solutions.
-
Reports, where admins can pin the standard reports or Data Explorer queries (including custom queries!) that are most important in your community.
-
Site Traffic, which lets you know who is coming to your community and where they’re coming from. (Note that referrer information will not be backfilled.)
-
Engagement, which digs into who is joining and participating in the community and which areas of the community are most active.
We expect to add more sections soon to explore Support and Search data.
