The Metrics Administrator can create, edit, and delete dashboards, insights, and custom metrics. The view-only role can open the panel and inspect the data, but can’t modify anything. Permissions are assigned from Settings → User management.
Overview
The panel is split into three areas:- Global filter bar — date range and filters shared by every chart in the active section.
- Left sidebar — switches between Dashboards and Insights. The General Summary dashboard ships preloaded; other dashboards and insights are yours to create.
- Content — metric charts you can reorder and resize.
General Summary
This is the default dashboard. It consolidates the most consulted indicators of the project:KPI cards
KPI cards
Four fixed indicators: active users, workflows, conversations, and HSM. Each shows the period value and its change. Selecting one updates the volume chart below to that indicator.
Volume chart
Volume chart
Time series of the selected KPI over the active date range. When the range is longer than 90 days, the series is grouped by month automatically.
Project user flow
Project user flow
Shows how users move across the project’s workflows and what share completes or abandons each branch.
Workflow performance
Workflow performance
Table with each workflow’s performance metrics in the period. A filter lets you include or exclude workflows shared with other projects.
Top words by workflow
Top words by workflow
Table of the most frequent terms, broken down by workflow.
Global filters
The top bar applies filters to every chart in the active section.Date range
Date range
Pick a quick range (today, last 7 days, last 30 days, this month, and more) or define a custom range. The date is always global and doesn’t appear in the additional filter picker — it applies to every metric.
Additional filters
Additional filters
From Filters you can add or remove dimensions on the global bar: channel, team, provider, currency, environment, biometric type, criterion, workflow, node, and workflow name. Each dashboard remembers which filters are promoted to the global bar and which stay available per chart.
Promote a filter from a chart
Promote a filter from a chart
Each chart exposes its own filters, and you can promote any of them to the global bar. Once promoted, the filter moves to the top bar and applies only to the charts that already have it among their dimensions — the rest are unaffected. Below the filter you’ll see how many charts on the dashboard it affects.
Maximum window
Maximum window
Some metrics have a day limit to protect performance; when you hit it, the panel shows a hint with the maximum allowed.
Custom dashboards
Beyond the General Summary, you can create your own dashboards to group the metrics that matter to a team, channel, or initiative.1
Create a dashboard
From the left panel, on the Dashboards tab, press + Create dashboard. Choose to start blank or from a template, enter a name, and confirm.
2
Add metrics
Press Add metric to open the catalog. Metrics are organized in categories: Inbox, E-commerce, Payments, Voice, Biometrics, Brain, AI, and General. You can search by name or filter by category.
3
Organize the dashboard
Each dashboard supports up to 10 metrics. Drag the charts to reorder them and use the corners to resize.
4
Rename, duplicate, or delete
You can rename each dashboard, duplicate it to start from a copy, or delete it permanently.
Available templates
When you create a dashboard you can start from a template with the essential metrics for an area:Chart types
Catalog metrics are drawn with one of these types. When you create a custom metric you pick from the subset that source supports.Indicators
Indicators
- Number — a single value compared to the previous period: current value, growth, and an optional breakdown at the foot of the card. Typical use: headline totals — conversations, users, messages sent.
- Number group — several indicators on one card, each with its own format (integer, decimal, percentage, duration, or currency) and its change. Typical use: rates of the same process.
Time series
Time series
- Line — how a value evolves in the date range, with one point per date.
- Area — the same series, with the area under the curve filled. Typical use: accumulable volumes, such as messages or sessions per day.
- Multi-line — several series on the same plane, with a legend to show or hide each one. Typical use: comparing categories at once (by channel, by status).
Comparison and composition
Comparison and composition
- Bars — vertical bars by category or by date. Typical use: counts with few labels.
- Horizontal bars — ordered ranking; works better when labels are long. Typical use: top workflows, reasons, or agents.
- Stacked bars — each bar splits into segments so you can see the mix of the total. Typical use: sessions by channel per day, HSM statuses by date.
- Pie — percentage split across a few categories. Typical use: share by channel or session type.
Distribution and intensity
Distribution and intensity
- Histogram — how a variable falls into contiguous ranges (buckets). Typical use: session duration or response times.
- Heatmap — intensity matrix by color. Typical use: conversations by hour and day of week.
Flows and funnels
Flows and funnels
- Funnel — classic conversion: each level shows how many reached that stage versus the previous one.
- Stage funnel — columns with a percentage, its own denominator, and an alert when a stage falls into a risk zone. Typical use: identity verification or checkout.
- Sankey — flow between nodes proportional to volume, with drop-off points. Typical use: journeys across workflows.
- Journey Sankey — full-width variant for a step-by-step journey.
Tables, text, and geography
Tables, text, and geography
- Table — text, number, or percentage columns, with status badges, progress bars, filters, and pagination. Typical use: detail by workflow, agent, or template.
- Word cloud — terms sized by frequency. Typical use: most-used words in conversations or searches.
- Bubble map — bubbles whose size is the volume at each location. Typical use: results by city or region.
Custom metrics
If the catalog doesn’t cover your case, you can register your own metrics without leaving the panel.- Event-based
- Based on Databases
Turn the events you emit from your workflows into charts. Each metric compares up to 5 events on the same chart, labeled A–E. Each event is configured separately with:
- Event you want to measure.
- Measure to compute: total events, unique users, total sessions, or sum of a numeric value.
- Filters by event property.
- Breakdowns to segment the series by property — we recommend no more than 2 breakdowns.
How to generate events
Configure tracking events on your nodes to feed custom metrics.
Insights
Insights are executive documents generated through the Jelou Agent that summarize the project’s evolution over a date range. Unlike dashboards, an insight:- Is stored as rich HTML with text, tables, and embedded charts.
- Can be printed or downloaded to share outside the platform.
- Keeps the date range it was generated with, so you can compare monthly deliveries.
Sharing charts
Every chart offers three useful actions for team collaboration:- Share chart — creates a public read-only link so anyone with the link can view the chart with its current filters.
- Use via API — opens a side drawer with a ready-to-run snippet to consume the metric from your backend or notebook, in the language you pick: cURL, JavaScript, Python, or PHP. Each snippet includes the active filters, the timezone, and
companyId. - Configure filters — pin chart-specific filters, different from the global ones, when the metric supports it.
Best practices
Start with the General Summary
Start with the General Summary
Before creating dashboards, review the General Summary to spot which indicators drive decisions and deserve their own dashboard.
One dashboard per decision
One dashboard per decision
The best dashboards answer a single operational question (for example, “how is the Black Friday campaign doing?”). Split into several dashboards when you start mixing very different audiences.
Document your custom metrics
Document your custom metrics
When you create an event- or database-based metric, use a descriptive name — the same one that will appear in dashboards and insights. Avoid internal shorthand that other users can’t interpret.
