Overview

Apollo analytics offer actionable data you can use to monitor and improve your company's sales outreach. Use dashboards for at-a-glance visualizations to see how your team is performing, which contacts and accounts are most receptive to your engagement, and where to address bottlenecks in your sales pipeline.

 
It's in the Plan

Access to analytics depends on your Apollo plan. If your team needs access to analytics dashboards, upgrade your plan. If you have questions about upgrading, reach out to the Apollo sales team.

Check out the following sections to use analytics dashboards.

Access Dashboards

 
Permission Required

To use dashboards, you need permission to access analytics. If you don't have permission, reach out to an Apollo admin who can edit your permission profile.

To access dashboards:

  1. Launch Apollo and click Analytics > Dashboards.
  2. Apollo shares your dashboards, organized by default by creation date.

    • Today
    • Current Week
    • Last 7 days
    • Last 30 days
    • Weekly
    • Monthly

Filters

 
Filter Facts

Dashboard filters don't override the filters present on the reports that drive dashboard widgets. Instead, dashboard filters act as add-ons to the existing filters in each report.

If you use a dashboard filter that conflicts with a filter from an underlying report, Apollo discards and replaces the report filter with the dashboard filter whenever you view the dashboard. However, when you view the report, the original filter remains in effect.

  1. After applying a date range and filters, Apollo automatically runs your dashboard to display the relevant metrics.
  2. Click filters within an individual widget to filter that widget's data by the last 7 days, 4 weeks, 6 months, or 12 months.

Analytics dashboard individual widget filters

  1. Click ... > View Report within an individual widget to open the full report.
  2. Click ... > Duplicate to create a copy of the report within an individual widget.
