Using the Solution Exchange

We're trying to make it as easy as possible for you to ramp up with the right reports, whether you're using Google Analytics, Salesforce, Basecamp, or whatever else through Easy Insight. One of the new options we offer for these purposes is the Solution Exchange, reachable at https://www.easy-insight.com/app/#view=1&display=0&page=exchange .

Here, you'll see reports that other users have created based on different third party integrations offered by Easy Insight. As I post this, what's there now are two reports I've built for Google Analytics. One provides a treemap showing a hierarchy of Source -> Visitor Type...this helps you understand how much repeat traffic is coming in from certain referrals, and how much new trafic is coming from those referrals. Another is a crosstab splitting out traffic by Operating System and Browser--which combinations are the users hitting your site using?

To pull in either report, simply click on the report name in the exchange. It'll automatically pull up the report against your particular installation of the solution, with an added bar across the top asking if you want to save the report off to your My Data page. Click Save, and you'll be able to reuse or edit the report as you desire!

If you build a report yourself that seems useful, you can add it to the solution exchange by simply checking the "Solution Visible" checkbox in the report editor and saving the report. It'll be available to others to apply to their own data at that point!
