SMS analysis¶
On the Reporting page (accessible via the option in the header menu), there are options to apply different combinations of Filters and Measures to view metrics in a number of different layouts (e.g. Graph and List views).
Each Reporting metric view option allows for more extensive performance analysis of SMS mailings.
For example, while in the default Graph view, SMS data is visualized as different graphs and charts, which can be sorted and grouped in various ways (e.g. Measures drop down menu).
