Last Updated April 15, 2024

Brief Overview

The Activity Board app in the Console, accessible at console.walkme.com/activity-board, provides key data to understand and analyze the performance of your WalkMe content. The Activity Board provides users with weekly "at a glance" insights that they can effectively act on in order to optimize their WalkMe content as part of their weekly workflow.

Monitor and track content progress by selecting the systems and creators for the views you wish to create. Filtering by creator allows users to personalize Board View content by segmenting per individual, manager, or team, as well as for specific systems.

Key characteristics:

  • Quick access to key insights
  • Data is visualized and easy to digest
  • Updates weekly
  • Easily subscribe, share, and export with others

Use Cases

  • Get a quick overview of account status (number of systems, number of items in production, number of team members)
  • Identify what's working and what's not, and leverage learnings to optimize content
  • Identify what content is broken and why
  • Understand what content is unused and should be cleaned or updated

Smart Walk-Thrus to Fix

  1. System & Smart Walk-Thru name
  2. Opens a table with the top 100 broken Smart Walk-Thrus that can be customized by adding or removing columns and then exported
  3. Number of errors
Note

  • Activity Board: Includes a list of Smart Walk-Thrus and Walk-Thrus that failed to play in the first step that was actually played
    • The first step that was actually played is not necessarily the first step of the Smart Walk-Thru - for example, if the start point is on step 8 and we see an error there, we will show it in the Activity Board
  • Walk-Thru Error Report: In the report, we will show the failure for any step regardless if it's first, last or any step, which is why you may see a discrepancy between these two
  • Visual Steps Only: Please note that the Activity Board and Error Report only show failed steps for visual steps (such as balloons) and not non-visual steps (such as auto steps)

Tip

A high number of errors is a good indicator that a Smart Walk-Thru can be modified to better serve your use case.

Most Searched Terms

Shows menu search terms with highest weekly number of searches (not unique). Clicking on the widget opens a table with top 100 items. 

  1. System & item name
  2. Number of searches that resulted in action
  3. Opens a table with the top 100 most searched items that can be customized by adding or removing columns and then exported
  4. Number of searches
Tip

Clicking on a search term will open the Menu Organizer so you can act upon the data. For example, people searched for something that doesn't have WM content created for it yet, or often search for a guide that should be listed higher.

Add Board View

You may wish to create new board views to see relevant system and creator data grouped together. For example, all systems related to your Sales department or only content created by a certain user.
