Out Of The Blue™ releases a summary digest view of the feed, and other improvements
This release includes the following new features,
functionality, and benefits:
Digest View of The Feed: – Last month we delivered “Live-Stories” on the feed that help our customers know what is developing right now, and this month we have released a “Digest View” that summarizes the key insights for a selectable past time window for the business user. This enables a birds eye view of the business for leaders and gives them a snapshot of the important movements in their metrics and the associated financial impact where available.

Intelligent Grouping of Related Insights: – We have had grouped insights for some time now, and with this month’s release we have made the grouping more intelligent that factors-in the funnel and sub-funnel that the metrics are part of, enabling the business user to zoom in on the part of the customer journey/funnel where attention is needed.

Improved Visibility Into Processing:– With this month’s release we have added visibility into when was the data processing done last for a metric and also showcase the date of the latest insight for a metric. All this is accessible from the MetricHub for easy review by the analytics and business teams if they are focused on knowing more about a specific metrics’ movements and corresponding insights. You can also navigate from the MetricHub to the latest insights on the feed for consuming the details of the insights.

Improved Performance of the Feed: – Finally, we have also made changes to the way we store data to speed up the load time of insights on the feed for improved user experience.
