Understanding Aurora reports
To understand the structure of these reports, let's explore a Forums report. All reports share this general structure.
In this example, we’ve chosen the “Products” board and have selected to view the metrics for the Last 30 days.
The Summary section at the top for the report provides a quick glance at key traffic and engagement metrics.
Depending on the report you view, the metrics shown in the Summary section will vary. Learn more about what each of these metrics means.
Below the Summary section, the report is displayed in a table.
You can view a maximum of 50 records. If there are more than 50 entries, you can export and download the report as a CSV file.
In this example, summary metrics are broken down to show the metrics by board. By default, the report is sorted by the number of Page Views.
To reverse the sort order (ascending or descending) of a column, click the metric in the heading.
To sort the report by a different metric, click the name of that metric. For example, to sort this table by Likes received, click Likes in the header row.
