Customization Options

Customizable templates give you complete control, so you can see where you can improve and make data-driven decisions that drive your business forward. The customize feature is how you want to see your report. Within Customize there are 3 different groupings for how you want to see your data.

  • Report Data: Measure by which your rows are organized

  • Rows Grouped By: grouping which allows you to further breakdown your Report Data measure

Columns include the data you want to see in your report and Filters help you narrow down specific metrics. Column selections may change depending on which report data is selected.

Use Cases

  • View Retention Rates for a Location based on if the client was new to the Location or existing to the Location. Group Rows or “And then group rows by” Client Type. Retention rates will typically be higher for existing clients, and lower for new clients.

  • Use Revisit to Location Retention Windows to determine if clients are returning back to the same Location. If it’s less important that a client returns to the same Location and more important that they are returning at all, then you can use Revisit to Business retention windows.

  • Group by Client Names to see individual clients that did or did not return after they visited a location.

Using Retention Reports

Retention Reports always look at a date range in the past and determine if clients returned within a certain amount of time. For that reason we typically set a date range enough in the past so that clients have enough time to return within our ideal retention window.

For example:
