Engagement: Status Over Time

In this topic, you will learn about Insights data about engagement status over time. These metrics will improve customer visibility and help guide company decisions.

Introduction

Engagement-status metrics let you determine how often your audience interacts with your service. With this information, you can build communication strategies aimed at different groups of viewers to keep them coming back.

Engagement Status Over Time

Hover over any point on the Sessions Over Time chart to see a breakdown for that day or week. The status buckets are defined as follows:

  • New — Users with a view in the last week but none in the last year.
  • Engaged — Users with multiple views in the last month and no gap longer than 28 days between views.
  • Re-engaged — Users with a view in the last week but no views in the prior four weeks.
  • Recent — Users with no views in the last week but at least one view in the prior three weeks.
  • Idle — Users with no views in the last four weeks but at least one view in the prior eight weeks.
  • Inactive — Users with no views in the last 12 weeks but at least one view in the last year.
  • Dormant — Users with no views in the last year.

Milestones

The Milestones panel beside the Usage Trends chart lets you mark significant business events (releases, launches, campaigns) so you can correlate them with audience behavior. Milestones persist across the Insights page.
