FAQs
Q1: Can I filter the overview by platform?
A: Currently, the Overview combines all channels into a single view. For platform-specific stats, head to the tab on the left panel under Social Analytics.
Q2: How far back can I view analytics data?
A: Depending on your account plan and data retention policies, you can adjust the date range to view historical performance.
Q3: Why do some metrics show as zero?
A: Metrics may appear as zero if no activity occurred during the selected date range or if data sync was delayed.
Q4: Can I export the overview data?
A: Export functionality is currently available for individual reports (e.g., Competitor Reports). Export for Overview is under consideration.
Q3: Can I select multiple date ranges to compare performance over time?
A: The current interface supports selecting a single date range at a time. To compare performance across different periods, switch between ranges manually or export reports for side-by-side comparison.
Q4: Why does the engagement count differ slightly from what's shown on the original platform?
A: Engagement numbers in the Analytics Overview are aggregated based on available API data from each platform. Slight variations may occur due to data sync delays or platform-specific definitions of engagement.
Q5: Can I customize which metrics appear on the Overview cards?
A: At this time, the Overview cards show default key metrics (Followers, Posts, Engagement, Impressions).
Q6: Can I compare performance across different brands or workspaces?
A: The Analytics Overview displays data from selected social accounts within the same workspace. For cross-workspace comparisons, you'll need to switch between workspaces manually and view reports individually.
Q7: What does “N/A” mean in the graphs?
A: “N/A” appears when data is not available from the platform—this may be due to permission issues, API limitations, or unsupported metrics for certain platforms.
Q8: Can I share the Overview screen or graph visuals with others?
A: While direct sharing from the screen is not supported, you can use the Export PDF or Schedule PDF options to share graphs and metrics with teammates or clients.
