Objective

Explores enable you to focus in on key metrics, exploring data based on the fields that matter most, further refining the data using a range of filters, and presenting the data using different visualizations.

Let's begin!

Leverage a pre-built Explore to get started drilling into your organization's data. The following pre-built Explores are available:

  • Staff Utilization

    • Review how utilized staff are across engagement types and for various time periods

    • NOTE: All appointment statuses except for Canceled are included in utilization calculations

  • Staff Assignment Overview

    • Dive into how staff are assigned at your organization, as well as uncover which staff - if any - are having sync issues with their calendars (if using an Exchange integration)

  • Engagements

    • Dig into appointment data for your organization by staff, location, service, or unassigned appointments

  • Outcome Analytics

    • Review engagement outcomes in relation to questions and answers asked either as part of the online booking process or during the engagement

  • Booking Shortcuts

    • Better understand how booking shortcuts are being used across your organization’s locations and service types

  • Booking Experience Satisfaction

    • Analyze various CSAT dimensions related to the booking experience to better understand customer needs

Refine Explores

Explores can be further refined, tailoring them to meet your organization's needs. Add dimensions and filters, change the visualization type, and more.
