Getting friendly with key terms
Metric: A Metric stores your data and gives you more than just the numerical values you want to monitor - it comes with built-in filters, stores your data history, and provides unlimited ways to visualize your data. PowerMetrics supercharge your metrics so you can see trends at a glance, slice and dice your data, and make confident business decisions by understanding your performance.
Metric HQ: The easiest way to connect data to a Metric in Klipfolio. All the heavy lifting is done for you. Available both in the application and via the web, Metric HQ allows you to choose from a list of services or specific pre-built Metrics to track. In a couple of clicks, you have visibility into your data.
Dashboard: An interactive workspace within Klipfolio where you can pull together different views of your Metrics in a snap.
People ? PowerMetrics
“PowerMetrics are much easier than building Klips and it’s a great way to track KPIs. I really like that you have the ability to filter and segment the data with a couple clicks.”
- Vinicius Simioni, Agente Imóvel
“I like the simplicity and elegance of PowerMetrics. This is a great feature for non-technical people who wouldn’t have a dashboard otherwise.”
- Brice Sloan, Sloan SG
Getting started with PowerMetrics
Here are some quick steps to follow as you start your data journey:
1. Decide which metrics you should track.
Choosing which metrics to track is not always a "one-size-fits-all" decision. Consider your team and company-wide goals and projects. Need some help deciding? Here’s a long list of KPIs and metrics to get you thinking.
2. Add a Metric in Klipfolio.
Choose from our list of pre-built Metrics or build your own custom one. Metrics are built based on a modelled data source. If you have an existing data source you want to use, you must model it before building a Metric.
3. Explore your Metric - customize and experiment with how it looks.
This is the fun part. You get to experiment and play with your Metric. Apply different time ranges, choose a different visualization type, mix and match by segmenting and filtering - and see the impact of each of your selections as you explore.
4. Share your discoveries.
Keep everyone aware of trends in your data by sharing a Metric (or a group of Metrics on a dashboard), or, give an in-the-moment, contextual view of your discoveries by sharing a link to a Metric or dashboard.
5. Monitor your Metric every day.
Display and interact with your Metrics on a dashboard. Checking in on your Metrics every day ensures you and your team are always aware and on the same page.
Hey Data Nerds: Combine your Metrics
Use two or more Metrics in a formula, such as a ratio or a percentage. Defining a calculated Metric will result in accurate representation of the result in different time ranges.
For example:
Cost Per Click = Ad Spend / Clicks
Bounce Rate = Bounces / Sessions
Email Open Rate = Email Opens / Emails Sent
