Analytics
The Analytics section allows you to create reports that present, on a customisable dashboard, statistics that you collect from your flows.
These analytics belong to the data records that are inserted into the flows, so they will be removed if these records are deleted.
Collecting analytics​
There are two ways to collect analytics in a flow:
Using the Analytics app.
Adding analytics to each flow object by making use of the analytics tab.
Here we must enter the following data:
- Analytics name: all analytics with the same name will be grouped.
- Metric name: the metric to be filtered.
- Metric value: the value to be stored.
- Do you want to update the Metric’s value?: whether to update or not the metric value.
