Communication Center Analytics
Brief Overview
Communication Center Analytics provides valuable insights into notification performance and user engagement, including metrics such as:
- How many recipients were targeted
- How many received the notification
- How many viewed the notification
- How many clicked on the buttons
These analytics cover both Desktop and Mobile Workstation views, helping you optimize communication strategies and enhance user interactions.
Get to Know
Upon entering the Communication Center, you'll see a panel on the side that displays analytics for all of your notifications. You can get further insights into each notification by clicking on it.
Let's take a look at what kind of analytics the ComCenter provides.
Communications Overview
ComCenter Analytics provides valuable insights on your notifications' performance, including total notifications published, active audiences, recipients, engagement rates, received rates, and viewed rates. The analytics also distinguish between Legacy and Electron Workstation sessions for comprehensive reporting.
Electron analytics is the default view, but you can toggle between the two.
Click on the toggles to expand and learn more about each metric available in the Communications Overview.
- Total Notifications: Number of active, scheduled, and completed notifications that have been published in the last 90 days, excludes archives and drafts.
- Audiences: Total number of active audiences. Refreshed live.
- Recipients: Total number of individuals who have been sent a notification (including those that are in an audience). Refreshed on page open.
- View recipients who are not receiving notifications: All potential Workstation participants. Refreshed on page open.
- Inactive users are not included.
- See Recipients Activity section for more detail.
- Average Engagement: Percentage of unique users who clicked an action button in a notification versus the total number of users who viewed the notifications in the last 90 days. Refreshed near real-time.
- See Notification Insights section for more detail.

Legacy Analytics Behavior
Notification analytics for the Legacy Workstation, both the overview and individual notification, are available in Insights only. The Insights report will show sessions for both the Legacy and Electron Workstation. To filter the Insights reports to only show users sessions on Legacy Workstation:
- Add a filter condition of "operation system version -> is not -> ELECTRON"

A notification is considered 'Viewed' if the recipient viewed the full notification, which can happen if they: (a) Saw the notification popup on their desktop when it was initially sent (b) Opened the notification from the Notification page in Workstation Hover over the Viewed column to see Mobile vs Desktop engagement: 
CTA Clicked: Number of recipients who clicked on the main call to action button

(3) All Clicks
Pie chart breaking down the total number of clicks on each button or hyperlink in the notification.
- Only buttons with the following actions are included in the calculation:
- Remind Me Next Time
- Remind Me Next Day
- Close
- Open Menu (not available on Mobile)
- In-line hyperlinks (shows URL as item label)
Why is the targeted number the same on both legacy and electron?
The received, viewed & click metrics are based on events triggered by recipients who engaged with the notification. The numbers are different when you switch between the two analytics based on if the recipient engagement occurred on the legacy or electron version.
The Targeted number is the number of active (and targeted) recipients at the time of publishing the notification, regardless of which Workstation version they are using. ComCenter supports showing active users from both legacy and electron version, that number is the same on both legacy and new analytics modes and encompass users from all supported versions.
If you see events for that content coming from Electron Workstation, but know they have fewer users with the new Electron version of WS than whats reported, then that might indicate an issue.
Recipients Activity
You can view the recipients activity for any Audience (including All Recipients).
From the ComCenter Overview:
- Go to the analytics panel to the right.
- a. Under Recipients click Show to view all recipient activity.
b. Next to the recipients who were unable to receive notifications, click Show to view a list of recipients without an active Workstation.
What are the definitions?
- Active: Workstation was signed in and the user was able to receive notifications in the last 30 days
- Note that active means that they are reachable, not that they are actively using Workstation. See the Workstation Dashboard for analytics on Workstation engagement as a whole.
- Inactive: Last WS activity was more than 30 days ago, but less than 180 days
- Potential: No WS activity detected, or last session was over 180 days ago
- This is also the recipients without active Workstation.
