What Is Intelligence Reports

Intelligence Reports is powered by Marketing Cloud Intelligence, a leading marketing intelligence platform that allows you to connect all of your data—uncovering deep marketing insights and campaign performance. Intelligence Reports is a new way to generate, view, and share a detailed analysis of your email, push and journey campaign-level data. You can optimize performance and increase engagement with your customers using the tools available in Intelligence Reports.

  • Dashboards: Easily analyze your data and make informed, data-driven decisions with prebuilt dashboards that visualize email, push and journey campaign-level data up to the business unit. 
  • Pivot tables: Explore your data and create custom reports that organize, summarize, and slice your data so that you can view comparisons, trends, and patterns.
  • Scheduled reports: Retrieve, view, and share a detailed analysis of your data. You can easily schedule and share reports via Excel, CSV, and text, as well as visual formats like PowerPoint, PDF, and PNG.

What Data Can I See?

Intelligence Reports displays email, push and journey campaign-level data. (It doesn’t display subscriber-level or event-level data.) The data you see is daily aggregated metrics. For example, the number of sends and open rate per day, during the last 30 days, for a specific campaign.

There are two types of data elements available: dimensions and measurements. 

  • Dimensions: Qualitative, non-numerical data (data you can’t count) like, campaign name, campaign ID, and so on.
  • Measurements: Quantitative, numerical data (data you can count) like, number of clicks, emails opened, and so on.

Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with Intelligence Reports, let’s head to the next unit to learn more about dashboards.
