1. What are Real-Time Analytics, and how Does it Differ from Reporting?
The Analytics and Reporting section accessible via Account Details use similar data about usage and workflows that have been executed, but they have a different purpose. In the 'Analytics' section you can access usage data in real-time through interactive dashboards.
To help production teams and account managers stay on top of their operations, Limecraft now includes interactive dashboards. Whether you're managing content intake, tracking production volumes, or reviewing user activity, these tools are designed to simplify decision-making and improve operational oversight.
Each of the data sets is available for download as CSV, xlsx, or as a visual.
2. Accessing the Analytics Section
Before you begin: - Dashboards are uniquely accessible for customers on an Enterprise plan. Please consult your account admin for more info. - Only the Account Admin will have access to Dashboards. If you wish to change something in the account settings, but don't have the permission to do so, you will need to contact your account admin to administer the changes.
To access the account settings, simply click 'account settings' on Limecraft's top page next to the name of the account are managing, and select 'Reporting' from the menu on the left hand side.
