Product Enhancements


 

Encompass Decision Analytics

Engagement Metrics Dashboard

Welcome a new addition to the Encompass family! For the first time you will be able to see how constituents are engaging across all facets of the platform.  For enterprise sites, we will be calculating all GID activity within that GID.... this means you can measure sub activity! Located in the main nav and available to Super Admins under Decision Analytics. Now let's get down to the fun stuff!

Total engagement % is the cat's meow.

In addition to overall calculations, we will be scoring various engagement dimensions  (Events, Giving, Membership, and Online Usage) from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.   We have not forgotten about Email which we know is a BIG contributor to your metrics.  Never fear... Email will be added early in Q1 to both the dimension and overall engagement. 

The Engagement Metrics Dashboard enables you and your staff to gain greater insights in certain segments via the class year drop down which also includes an option to score engagement across All Records (including non-members) and Missing Class Year Value records.  Be sure to dive into those class year records where you may already have a gut feeling on how engaged these constituents are.

aaaaannd that is the cat's pajamas.

These scores are calculated based off the existing population engaged versus not engaged.  The following dimensions are tracking these actions. 

  • Emails:  Email engagement is calculated based off of opens during the specified time frame. (Joining the dashboard in early Q1)
  • Events:  Event engagement is calculated off of registrations made during the specified time frame. If registration for the record is changed to false, they will no longer be counted as engaged.
  • Giving:  Giving engagement is calculated based off of gifts made during the specified time frame.
  • Membership:  Membership engagement is calculated based off of any "current" memberships during the specified time frame.
  • Online Usage:  Online engagement is calculated based off logins, pre-pop, and profile updates  made during the specified time frame.  Please note, we will be adding general form submissions to this calculation in an upcoming release.

NOTE:  We have excluded admin records for the following Dimensions - Events, Giving, Membership, and Online Usage.

We're excited to see how you use the Engagement Metrics Dashboard! annnd GO!

Updated Unsubscribe Opt Out Column

To help make it easier to view the unsubscribe action taken by a recipient, we have consolidated the Opt-Out Type and Category columns into one "Opted Out Of" column. This should make it easier to see whether a recipient opted out of the community or out of a specific category.

Scoreboards

Regional Maps

Improvement for the map where you can select specific states to display versus the entire country.  Have fun challenging different states to a friendly competition to get filled in by all of your constituents. 

Great for customers who predominately have constituents living in certain states of the country.  This change is for the US Map.
