Analytics Tabs Overview
Below are the main sections of the Analytics dashboard:
Tab | What It Shows |
---|---|
Overview | A summary of key metrics across your Knowledge Base (e.g. total views, searches, user engagement). |
Searches Tab | What your users are searching for — popular search terms, search volume over time, and search “zero results.” See Searches Tab. |
Articles Tab | How individual articles are performing — views, likes/dislikes, and time spent reading. See Articles Tab. |
Categories Tab | Insights by section of your KB — which categories are most visited, which ones are underperforming. See Categories Tab. |
Users/Groups Tab | How different user segments or groups engage with content; helps identify gaps in coverage or usage. See Users/Groups Tab. |
Support Cases Avoided
This section tracks the number of support cases that were successfully avoided through users finding answers in the Knowledge Base. It highlights the effectiveness of your content in addressing user inquiries without needing direct support intervention.
- Total Searches: Here, you'll find the total number of searches conducted within the Knowledge Base. This metric indicates how often users are engaging with the search function to find information.
- Found Answers: This section details the number of times users found relevant results or matches for a specific search. It reflects the effectiveness of the content in meeting user needs.
- Contacted Support: This metric tracks the number of users who submitted a contact form after searching for answers in the Knowledge Base. It can help identify gaps in content where users still require assistance.

Solution Quality Index (SQI)
The Solution Quality Index measures the effectiveness of the Knowledge Base by calculating the percentage of successful answers found during searches. It is determined using the formula:
SQI = (Number of Searches / Number of Times Answers Found) × 100

This index provides insights into how well the content serves users' inquiries.
Team Usage Graphic
This section features a graphical representation of team usage, showcasing how different teams within the organization are engaging with the Knowledge Base.

Employee Stats
Here, you can view statistics for five selected employees, including their article views and reads. This data can help identify top contributors and highlight areas for training or support.

Articles
In this section, a list of five articles is displayed, with options to filter by the most liked or disliked content. This helps you understand which articles resonate most with users and which may need improvement.

Searches
This section provides data on the latest keywords that users have searched for in the Knowledge Base. It can inform content strategy by highlighting trending topics or frequently asked questions.

Best Practices
- Monitor zero-results searches to identify missing content or coverage gaps.
- Review article performance regularly; update, improve, or remove content that has low engagement.
- Compare categories to understand where users find most value and where you might need to add content.
- Use user/group analytics to tailor content and improve relevance for different audiences.
- Export data for trend tracking beyond what’s shown in the dashboard.
