Engagement
- The Engagement Over Time dashboard consists of unique Participants and Visitors for your Initiative over the timeframe selected.
- Participants are Users who have contributed, commented, or voted on a submission. Visitors are Users who have accessed the site at least once.
- In the Cross-Collaborations Dashboard Cross Collaborations are counted whenever a user engages with a user from a different Department or Location (configured in the User Profile).
- The visualization shows the top ten most collaborative Departments and Locations as circles on the chart.
- The size of each circle represents the number of other Departments or Locations each collaborated with.
- Hover over to see more details and connections between the Departments or Locations.
- In the Participation by Geography Dashboard you can view where your audience is participating with your Initiative.
- Each circle represents a submission, comment, or vote in your Initiative.
- Larger circles represent more Participation from that location.
-
Note: The location data in this map is based on users' IP addresses, not the location data in their profiles.
- IP address locations are not always 100% exact, so this map is an approximation of participants' locations.
