Tracking indicators in AC 6.1/7

Avatar

Level 3

Hi,

I would love to find some concrete documentation on how to use the tracking indicators (label, category, type) more than just to set them manually.

(However, I have basic understanding on some of it)

  1. What are they supposed to be used for?
  2. How should they be implemented?
  3. How do you use these indicators in your reports (standard/custom)?

Do know if any have a simple, or an answer at all, but let me know your learnings and goodies

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Jonas Pabst

Hi, Jonas,

Let me try to help you understand about it.

Tracking Indicators: This report combines the key indicators for tracking the behavior of recipients upon receiving the delivery. It gives access to delivery and reception statistics, open and click-through rates, generated click streams, web tracking as well as sharing activities to social networks.

What are a label, category, and type means in the context of tracking indicators?

These three parameters help you in breaking down all your tracking information into meaningful segments.

Examples: category equal to "Opt-out" means a segment of recipients who clicked on Opt-out link which will have a label, name, and value. Just like the table below to help you understand.
