Audience Insights give you metrics on how Subscribers engage with your Content across all channels. To review your Audience Insights, go to Insights > Audience.
The metrics you are viewing on this page are based on the selected report period and filters selected from the top right corner. To learn more, please review: Insights Actions.
The Audience > Metrics page provides insights on current Subscribers in your Instance. On this page, you have an option to view two different tables of information: Overview and Details.
Overview Tab
The Overview tab shows overall metrics for each Subscriber, while the top row is the total of the metrics for the rows beneath it.
The metrics under the News Digest header all pertain to only your News Digests: Delivered, Open Rate, CTR. The other columns, without the News Digest header, are calculated using all of your Instance's Channels.
Having both the News Digest only Insights and the all-channel Insights allows you to report on how your News Digest metrics contribute to your overall metrics from all your Instance's channels.
Metrics Explained
Audience Member
The Subscriber's name and email address as entered in your Instance.
Engagement
This score is based on an algorithm used to quantify how much your Subscribers engage with your Content. A high score means that your Subscribers are clicking and engaging with the pieces of Content included on all your channels.
Delivered
The number of News Digests delivered to your Subscribers.
Open Rate
The rate of News Digests opened during the reporting period. This is calculated using the formula (Unique Opens / Delivers). EX. If you send 500 News Digests, and your Subscribers open 250 of them, then your open rate is 50%.
CTR (Click Through Rate)
The rate that your Audience Members click through the News Digests that they open. This is calculated using the formula (Unique Clicks / Unique Opens). EX. If your Subscribers uniquely open 250 New Digests and click on 100 separate pieces of Content, you will have a CTR of 40%.
Sessions
The number of times a Subscriber opens a channel (Intranet, Mobile, Teams, News Digests, or Archive). One Session is recorded each times this happens. EX. If I log into my Intranet 2 times in one day, there will be 2 Sessions recorded for that day.
Impressions
The number of opportunities your Subscribers had to view your Content across the reporting period. An Impression does NOT mean that the Subscriber engaged with your Content, it just means that it appeared on their screen. EX. If 10 pieces of Content appear on a Subscribers screen, they will log 10 Impressions.
Clicks
The number of the times Subscribers clicked on your Content in any channel. This is a good indicator of how Subscribers are engaging with your Content. EX. If a Subscriber clicks on 3 pieces of Content in their News Digest, they will record 3 Clicks.
Click Rate
The rate at which your Subscribers are engaging with your Content when it appears on their screen. This is calculated using the formula (Clicks / Impressions). EX. If 10 pieces of Content appear on my screen and I click on 3 of them, then my Click Rate is 30%.
Clicks/Session (clicks per session)
The average number of times your Subscribers clicked on a piece of Content once they begin a Session.
EX. Subscribers “A” and “B” log into your Intranet. Subscriber “A” clicks on 10 Stories, and Subscriber “B” clicks on 4 Stories. These Subscribers will have an average of 7 clicks per session.
Note: You can click on a Subscriber's name to get a deeper look into their metrics and see what pieces of Content they have viewed and clicked on.
Details Tab
The Details table allows you to see channel-specific metrics on how Subscribers engage with your Content, grouped by channel, while the top row is the total metrics for the rows below.
Because your organization may utilize several channels, the grouped columns may extend to the right. You can use your Left and Right arrow keys on your keyboard to adjust the view of columns to your preference.

The Subscriber's name and email address as entered in your Instance.
Del. (Delivered)
The number of News Digests delivered to your Subscribers.
U. Opens (Unique Opens)
Counts ONLY the first time a Subscriber opens a piece of Content in their News Digest. EX. If I receive my News Digest and I open Content “A” 3 times and Content “B” 4 times, 2 Unique Opens will be recorded since I opened both pieces of Content.
Imp./Impressions
The number of opportunities your Subscribers had to view your Content across the reporting period inside the channel. An Impressions does NOT mean that the Subscriber engaged with your Content, it just means that it appeared on their screen. EX: If 10 pieces of Content appear on a Subscriber's screen, they will log 10 Impressions.

The number of times Subscribers clicked on your Content inside the channel. This is a good indicator of how Subscribers are engaging with your Content. EX. If a Subscriber clicks on 3 pieces of Content in their News Digest, they will record 3 Clicks.
