We’re excited to announce the launch of our brand new Reporting Dashboard for the Drag & Drop editor. Improve your content’s performance with easy access to the most important metrics.

Foleon makes it easy to produce interactive digital content, empowering brands across the world to push their sales and marketing collateral into a new era of design.

If you’ve worked with Foleon before, you’re probably very familiar with the content creation process. However, beyond simplifying the creation process, we also empower you to improve your content over time with page-by-page analytics.

 

An easier approach to analytics

To make analytics more accessible, usable, and powerful, we recently launched a brand new Reporting Dashboard. It gives you easy access to the most important metrics on your content’s performance. Analyze how your content is performing and collect learnings to make your next piece of content even better.

With our new Reporting Dashboard, you can bid farewell to endless sifting through Google Analytics data to find those few important metrics. Foleon has the native ability to:

  • Easily analyze content performance.
    Our dashboard has been designed to give you quick access to the most important metrics.
  • Drill down into individual publications and pages.
    Drill down into different publications and see the performance of individual pages.
  • Convert metrics into actionable insights.
    By only displaying the most relevant metrics and leaving out all the distraction, you’re better equipped to distill concrete to-dos.

 

Introducing the new Reporting Dashboard

The ability to see how your Foleon content performs has always been one of the most important drivers for success with our software. That's why we decided to build our very own Data Engine, designed specifically for the Drag & Drop editor.

Important note
Our Data Engine has been collecting performance metrics on your content since the 28th of September, 2018. If you have (re-)published a Drag & Drop publication since then, you’ll see stats in the Reporting Dashboard starting from the date when you (re-)published.

Available to all licenses, you can easily access the Reporting Dashboard by clicking on the 3 dots of any published Drag & Drop publication and selecting Reports.

What metrics are available to you?

We’ve dedicated a lot of time analyzing the performance of all kinds of content created with Foleon. Based on our experience and feedback from customers, we selected the most important metrics for assessing your content’s success — and improving its performance down the line.

Once in the new Reporting Dashboard, you’ll see how to switch to other (Drag & Drop) publications for analysis — as well as the date range — in the upper left and right-hand corner of your screen. Both can be adjusted with just a few clicks.

Below that are visualizations and charts for your metrics. If you’ve ever used Google Analytics, you’ll be very familiar with these.
