Using and Sharing Path Analytics Reports

Overview

Path Analytics Reports provide a quick and flexible way to explore and share your PathFactory data. Powered by Looker, these reports allow you to filter your data to highlight only the most relevant data, helping you answer questions like “Which content types do our visitor prefer?”, “Which channels are driving the most content consumption?”, and more.

Share your Reports

Get your data to where you need it to go using the send and schedule option available with our Path Analytics Reports powered by Looker.

Send
The Send option lets you send data once, directly from a Looker-powered Path Analytics Report.

Note
See this Looker documentation for more information.

Schedule
Looker lets you schedule periodic email delivery of a Looker-powered Path Analytics Report. You can send the information via email, Amazon S3, or to an SFTP server.

Both options enable you to deliver data through the following methods:

  • Email – Send to one or more addresses. If you’re using the email option please note that you may have to whitelist the receiving domain or review your spam filter to ensure the email is delivered. You will receive emails from looker@looker.com. Learn more here.
  • Amazon S3 – Send to your Amazon S3 bucket. Learn more here.
  • SFTP – Sending results to an SFTP server is a good method when your data or visualization is too large to send via email. Learn more here.
  1. Navigate to the report you want to share.
  2. Click the gear icon, then select either Send or schedule from the drop-down menu.
