Buyer Views: What content is most viewed by buyers?

Note: This article is about the new beta Admin App, which is still in development. Changes may occur. Please provide feedback directly in the beta app.

This dashboard provides insights into which files, file types, tags, and tag categories are most popular with your buyers. Once you understand what content and assets are most compelling to buyers, you can replicate and mold new content accordingly, enabling your sellers to succeed. This report focuses on view count and view time only, and only activity from external users is included.

Key features

• Filter activity by Division/Library and timeframe
• Compare activity to the previous timeframes and view trends

See how it's done

The dashboard is divided into the following sections:

• Filtering
• Trends
• Views and view time by content type 
• Views by tag category 
• Details
• Printing

Note: Some assets' names may display a number in brackets. This is used to differentiate assets with identical names.

Filtering

Apply filters based on the Division and Date range to alter the data you find in this dashboard. By default, you'll see My Divisions, which includes all the Divisions/Libraries you have access to.

KPI trends 

Below the filtering options, you will find the key performance indicator (KPI) trends. These KPIs present different metrics calculated for the selected timeframe.

The first box displays the total views of assets in your selected divisions in the selected timeframe, compared to the previous timeframe. 

The second box shows the total number of unique assets viewed in the selected timeframe, compared to the previous timeframe. 

The last box presents the total viewing time in minutes on assets in the selected division and timeframe, compared to the previous timeframe. 

Right below the KPI trends section, a blue box informs what percentage of content viewed by buyers was viewed in Shared Spaces vs activity from email shares.
