Chapter 4. Data Access IBM Coremetrics provides several options for accessing and distributing data outside of the application's user interface. Whether you need to share data with other team members, perform additional offline analysis, or use the information in other applications, IBM Coremetrics offers numerous options for accessing its underlying data. There are multiple ways to download data for active modules (those displayed on a dashboard): Download By Module All data modules offer a download button in the top right corner. Click Download to have the data in that module saved to a CSV file to share or work with offline. Download By Dashboard The top right corner of the dashboard provides a Download Dashboard option. Selecting this option allows you to download the data for all modules configured within the current dashboard view you have loaded. The Download Dashboard data is saved as a single tab XLS file. Data for each individual module is grouped vertically within the spreadsheet for easy reference. Download All Modules Additionally, the top right corner of the dashboard provides a Download All option. Selecting this option allows you to download data associated with every module included in all dashboard views you have configured. Specifically, you can download data for up to 9 dashboard views in one single download file (3 in standard views + 5inpersonal views + 1 unsaved dashboard). The data is saved as a single XLS file with multiple tabs where each tab corresponds to a different dashboard. Data for each module within a dashboard is grouped vertically within that tab for easy reference. Copyright IBM Corp. 2007, 2012 7

Channel Summary Like the Channel Summary report in Web Analytics, the Channel Summary module in Enterprise Dashboard allows you to see how visitors arrive at your site (Natural Search, Paid Search, Referring Sites, Direct Load, or any other custom channels you define in your master client instance of Web Analytics). The custom marketing channels you define within the Channel Summary report of Web Analytics for your master client are displayed in the Channel Summary module of Enterprise Dashboard. Channels created within individual client instances of IBM Coremetrics do not automatically appear in Enterprise Dashboard. You must create aggregate marketing channel definitions across all sub-sites from your master client instance in Web Analytics. Once you aggregate the marketing channel definitions, all created channels within the master client instance of Web Analytics are reflected in this module so you can see how all of your brands are performing side-by-side. Expand or collapse any channel included in the module by clicking the arrow next to the channel name. To expand or collapse all rows, click Expand All or Collapse All at the bottom of the module. The Channel Summary module lets you select as many metrics as you want to display in the data table. Horizontal scrolling is enabled by the module if you include a large number of metrics. To add or remove metrics from the Channel Summary module, click Edit( ) in the top right corner when you move your mouse over the module. Drag and drop the metric to display as the first column in the module to the top of the list, the second column metric to the second position in the list, and so on, and then click Apply. The Percents / Values toggle displayed at the bottom of the Channel Summary module allows you to switch the module's view between displaying the actual metric values to the relative percentage contribution of the channel to each site's overall total for any given channel. Download the complete data table for this report by clicking Download ( )in the top right corner of the module. You are asked if you want to open or save the CSV file. Compare The Compare module enables you to compare data from any Date Range A (Global Date) with any comparison period (Date Range B), showing the percentage change over this period as well as an absolute difference metric (that is, A minus B). Chapter 8. Modules available in Dashboard 19
Compare also shows how each subsite contributes to the whole enterprise's data. If the current period is incomplete (for example, you select the current week and it is only Wednesday), the compare module evaluates the data available for the current period against the complete data for the previous time period. Show or hide the optional pie chart by selecting or deselecting Show Pie. Select the metric used in this comparison from the Metric list. Download the complete data table for this report by clicking Download ( )in the top right corner of the module. You are asked if you want to open or save the CSV file. Label Customize your dashboard by adding descriptive or explanatory labels. Enter the text and select a width for the display. Width allows you to enter the initial width of the text label in pixels.
