The Overview dashboard displays several metrics about how your learners are interacting with the Percipio platform.

1. Filters

   

   You can filter data on this dashboard by date and audience.

   • Date filters: Use these to specify the data on your Activity dashboard.
   • Date Range Presets: Filters the data by a specified range of dates from the drop-down list.
   • Start: Instead of using a Date Range preset, use this to specify a start date. When you enter a Start date, the Date Range Presets filter changes to Custom.
   • End: Instead of using a Date Range preset, use this to specify an end date. When you enter an End date, the Date Range Presets filter changes to Custom.
   Example:
   If you set the date to Start on September 1 and End on October 1, only the platform data within the September 1 - October 1 time period is shown.
   • AUDIENCE: Predefined group of users. Enter the name of an audience and then select it from the list. You can display the data for multiple audiences at the same time by entering more than one audience name.
2. Platform engagement chart

   

   Platform engagement shows several charts related to overall usage in Percipio. When you select one of the individual metric charts, the larger graphic updates to reflect the selected data.

   • Page views: Total number of platform page views for all users during the selected time frame. A page view is counted each time a user accesses a page within Percipio (whether it be through navigating through Percipio or using search).
     • Examples of a page include a search results page, the Activity page, and the home page.
   • Users: Total number of unique users accessing the platform during the selected time frame. Each user is counted only once, regardless of how many times they accessed the site.
     • For example, if a learner signs in to Percipio four times within the specified date range, only one visit for this learner is included in this calculation.
   • Session hours: Total time users spent engaged with the platform during the selected time frame.
   • Total sessions: Total number of sessions during the selected time frame. This is not user-specific.
     • For example, if a learner signs into Percipio four times within the specified date range, all four sessions are included in this calculation.
     • You can configure how long a learner can stay logged into a session from the Settings, Site Configuration option.
   • Pages per session: Average number of platform page views per user during a single session during the selected time frame.
     • For example, if a learner signs in to Percipio three times during the specified time frame, and visited six pages during the first session, four pages during the second session, and eight pages during the third session, the average number of platform page views would be six (6 page views + 4 page views + 8 pages views = 18 page views. When those 18 page views are divided by the total number of sessions for the user – in this case, 3 – the average number is six.
