What is the Campaigns Dashboard?
The Campaigns dashboard analyzes the performance of both email and SMS campaigns. Explore performance metrics by campaign name, segment name, and tags.
Accessing the Dashboard
The Campaigns dashboard can be found via the Insights sub-menu. The Insights module can be accessed from the Data + Automations dropdown in the top navigation.
Dashboard Features
The Campaigns dashboard displays year-over-year comparisons, monthly changes in campaign performance rates, and a wide variety of performance measurements.
Data can be viewed by overall performance, in specific time frames, and/or within a subset of campaigns.
Global Controls
Campaign Name: Filter your data for one or more campaigns.
To and From Date: Sets the date range filter for the dashboard.
Time Aggregation: For all "rate" charges, choose whether you want to see the data by day, week, or month.
Segments: See your email/sms performance by calculated segment.
Segment Filters
The Campaigns report can only be filtered by certain dimensions by default. The segment filter is a great way to filter the report by dimensions that matter to you. Create a segment in the People module, and set it as a calculated segment.
Please allow 24 hours for new calculated segments to appear and filter correctly in Insights.
More on using segments and Insights together.

Metric Glossary
All metrics are calculated based on "sent date." All metrics other than sent reflect the date the communication was originally sent, not the date of the metric (open, delivery, click, etc.). For further explanation and updates on Campaigns analytics, read this help article.
Metric | Definition |
Sent | A communication is sent to an individual, but not necessarily delivered. |
Delivery | The communication is delivered to the email or SMS inbox of the intended individual. |
Open | The communication is opened by the user. |
Click | The communication is clicked to view the content within the communication. |
Click-through | A link within the communication is clicked to a desired URL. |
Bounce | A communication is sent, but not delivered. |
Unsubscribe | A communication is opened and the user chose to unsubscribe for future communications. |
Troubleshooting & FAQ
FAQs
Why is there no data?
There are a variety of reasons an Insights report is blank. Try the following quick fixes:
Reset the report. Visualizations may be filtering the report. Check the date controls. If the date is too far in the past, it may pre-date your activity in Element451.
Check what fields are being used.
If data is still missing, there may be issues with your data in Element. Check out this guide for data cleanup.
