What it does

An insight answers “how many, how much, or how many people, over time” for any event you send, without waiting for someone to build a report. Save it and your team opens the same chart; put it on a board and it stays current.

Builder

Any event, counted the way you need.

Pick an event, or any event, and choose what to count: every event, the people who did it, their sessions or a per-person average. When the event carries a number, such as an amount, do the math on it instead.

  • Sum, average, median, minimum, maximum and 90th percentile of a numeric property.
  • Up to five filters on each series, on top of the report’s own filters.
  • Unique companies and a per-company average, once your project sends companies.

Formulas and breakdowns

Do the arithmetic on the chart.

Write a formula with the series’ letters, such as B / A, and it is drawn as a series of its own. Break everything down by a property and each series is split by the same top values, so a formula lines up group by group.

  • Letters A to E, numbers, + − × ÷ and parentheses.
  • Break down by an event property, a person property, a company or a company trait.
  • The top 5, 10 or 25 values, with the rest as Other.

Charts

Six ways to draw it, and a way to smooth it.

Switch between a line, bars, stacked bars, a table, a big number and a pie without rebuilding anything. Read it by hour, day, week or month, add it up cumulatively, or roll a daily chart over 7 or 28 days.

  • Compare draws the previous period as a dashed line.
  • A rolling average for any measure; a rolling sum for totals, sessions and sums.
  • Export the table as a CSV, exactly as it is shown.

Drill-down

Click a point, see who is behind it.

Every point, bar, slice, table cell and big number opens the exact people or events behind it: that event, those filters, that group, those dates. From there, save them as a segment or follow what they did next.

  • A point counted in people opens the people; other measures open the events.
  • Save an insight and add it to a board as a tile that follows it.
  • The address carries the whole definition, so any view is a link you can share.

How ClickClacks answers it

One series: signup_completed, counted as unique people, by week. Turn on compare to draw the previous period behind it as a dashed line.

Who it’s for

Three ways teams use it.

  • Agencies

    Build the three charts a client always asks for, such as leads by source and enquiries by page, save them, and put them on that client’s board. Next month they are already there.

    Saved insights on the client’s board

  • Indie developers

    One series is enough to start: trial_started, unique people, by week. Add paid conversions as a second series later and a formula for the rate between them.

    A: trial_started · B: subscription_created

  • Product teams

    Track a feature’s adoption as people and as companies on one chart, break it down by plan, and click the week that dipped to see exactly who was in it.

How it works

Under the hood

  1. 01Add up to five seriesEach one is an event, a measure and optional filters. The date range, source, segment and property filters at the top apply to all of them.
  2. 02Add a formula or a breakdownA formula is worked out point by point from the series’ own values. A breakdown ranks its values once and splits every series by the same list.
  3. 03Pick the chart and the intervalHourly charts cover up to 31 days. Every period in the range is filled in, so a quiet hour reads 0 instead of disappearing.
  4. 04Click through, save, shareOpen the people or events behind any point. Save the insight for your team, add it to a board, or send the link.

FAQ

Insights, in detail.

  • An insight counts events over time: how many, how much, how many people, split by something. A funnel follows people through a sequence of steps. Use Insights for a trend and Funnels for a drop-off.

  • Numeric ones. ClickClacks works out a property’s type from its recent values, and you can set it yourself in Lexicon. The builder only offers the math on properties that are numbers.

  • No, a chart is one or the other. Cumulative adds up counts and sums: total events, unique people, sessions, a sum, or unique companies. Rolling works on daily charts, as a 7 or 28-day average, or as a sum for totals, sessions and sums.

  • Each series can draw up to 5,000 points, counting every period for every breakdown value, and an hourly chart covers up to 31 days. Past that, the page asks you to shorten the range, widen the interval or lower the breakdown limit before it runs anything.

  • The tile follows the saved insight: change the insight and the tile changes with it. The tile takes the board’s dates and filters and draws one main series; the full chart with every series stays on the insight’s own page.

  • Almost. A point made by a formula, the Other group and groups from a person-property breakdown can’t be opened as an exact list, so they say why instead of showing an approximate one.
