App Management: Global analytics

To understand the success their intranet, App managers have a suite of analytics at their disposal, giving them the ability to understand how their intranet is being used. Simpplr's analytics provide insight into which elements of an intranet are working as planned, and which can be improved.

You can access analytics by going to your User menu > Analytics.

Low activity sites 

To ensure effective content governance, App managers are encouraged to update or deactivate low activity sites with a warning on the analytics dashboard. Low activity sites are defined as all published sites having less than 10 views in last 90 days.

The organization-wide analytics section includes a dashboard which gives an overview of how the intranet is performing. This quickly gives the app manager an idea of: 

  1. How many users are logging in
  2. How users are behaving within the app
  3. What types of content are being published, and how users are engaging with it
  4. And overviews of sites, social campaigns, newsletters, and searches

image-20250224-124228.png

The dashboard will open to an overall user status score as depicted by the gauge chart. The user can then see performance trends in the Team status over time widget where they can see a breakdown of all teams' performance as a stacked bar chart as well as a color-coded trendline of overall performance.

A team’s level of activities can be classified as one of the following:

  1. Active

  2. Somewhat Active

  3. Inactive

In producing teams' performances, the following occurs:

Calculate health scores with Teams dashboard

In order to arrive at the activity level, Teams dashboard considers health scores across the following 5 metrics:

Metric

Team Health Score Calculation

  1. Logins last 30 days

(# Direct reports who logged in / # Direct reports) x 100

 

A 100-point based score for % of direct reports that logged in

  1. Content viewed last 30 days

(# Direct reports who viewed content / # Direct reports) x 100

 

A 100-point based score for % of direct reports who viewed content

  1. Must-read completion rate

(# Active must-reads that were completed / # Active must-reads) x 100

 

If # Active must-reads is 0, then return 100

 

A 100-point based score for % of direct reports who viewed Must-reads.

  1. Profile completeness

(# Direct reports with complete profiles / # Direct reports) x 100

 

A 100-point based score for % of direct reports w/ complete profiles.

  1. Last recognized (applicable if Recognition is enabled)

(# Direct reports recognized in the last 45 days / # Direct reports) x 100

 

A 100-point based score for % of direct reports who were recognized

 

Calculate a weighted score based on features in use

The Teams dashboard then produces a weighted score based on whether the customer is using Recognition.  The following weights are used.

Metric

Intranet + Recognition

Classify activity level

Based on the weighted score of the team, classify the team’s activity level as follows.

Activity Level

Score Range

Active

Most important metrics are on track

71-100

Somewhat active

Some important metrics are on track

51-70

Inactive

Vital metrics are off track

<=50

 

Calculate average user status

In the top tile of the Teams dashboard (see screenshot below), there is a Teams Activity level gauge chart.  It is determined by taking an average of all user statuses.

In terms of trend inside the gauge chart  – whether it is Up or Down since last 30 days – it is determined comparing the activity level between the most recent 30 days vs. the prior 31-60 days, relative to the activity level in the prior 31-60 days.

Activity Level

Score Range

Active

(Green)

Most important metrics are on track

71-100

Somewhat active

(Orange)

Some important metrics are on track

51-70

Inactive

(Red)

Vital metrics are off track

<=50

Each user’s health score is determined using the following two tables. The first table, shown below, is used to compute the five metrics.   

Metric

Calculation

  1. Logins last 30 days

if the user logged in the last 30 days, the system returns 100, or else 0.

  1. Content viewed last 30 days

If the user viewed content in the last 30 days, the system returns 100, or else 0.

  1. Must-read completion rate

the system returns the percentage of the active must-reads that have been read.  In cases where there are no active must-reads, the system then returns 100. 

  1. Profile completeness

profile completeness percentage x 100

 

  1. Last recognized

The number of days since Last Recognized x -1.9 + 125.  

 

The Last recognized days cannot be smaller than 0 or greater than 100.  Therefore, the score will set the lower limit to 0 and the upper limit to 100.

 

If the employee has never been recognized, use the hire date for new joiners since the recognition launch.  Use the recognition launch date as the last recognition date for existing employees.

The second table shown below is used to produce a weighted Health Score across these metrics, considering whether the Recognition product is in use.

(Teams) People manager team performance 

In addition to the above Teams dashboard, the People manager team performance widget shows all people managers, their team size, performance score and opportunity score. You can sort by team status, performance score or opportunity score to identify top performers or top areas for improvement.

Performance score = "Active" direct reports * 2 + "Somewhat active" direct reports * 1

Opportunity score = "Somewhat active" direct reports * 1 + "Inactive" direct reports * 2
