Build your Dashboards and Graphs
Create your own graphs and dashboards (or use our templates) to track your data from any of the sources you've connected. For each data source you've connected you have easy access to pre-configure metrics - like "Earnings" from Google AdSense, or "Click Through Rate" from Mailchimp - and you can add any mix of metrics to any graph. In addition, you can use subtotals or filters to dig deeper into your data.
Track and Analyze Your Data
Once setup, Metricly is your one-stop site to see how your business is trending - and we'll show you key insights on your data to the right of each graph. Each week we will also send you summary report, showing how your business metrics have tracked for the last week.

Subtotals and Filters
How to use subtotals and filters in your Metricly graphs.
Database Connector Overview
Setting up the Database Connector to track your internal metrics in Metricly.
Subtotals and Filters
» Check out the Subtotals And Filters video tutorial as well.
Subtotal Basics
Subtotals allow you to take a single metric you are graphing, and break that out by a subtotal dimension. For example, you can take the "Pageviews" metric from Google Analytics and break it down by "Country". Doing so will show you how many pageviews your site received from different countries - breaking down each country as a separate graph line, and provding an insight on each of those lines. The available subtotal dimensions will vary depending on the data source and metric, and you can simply from the drop down.
Subtotal Settings
By default, Metricly will show you the "Top 5" for that subtotal (as determined by their total for the given period), but you can also choose "Bottom 5", or even select which specific subtotal values you want to see by selecting "Custom List". In addition, you can choose to have Metricly show these subtotals as a percentage of the whole value, just by selecting "Percentages" as opposed to "Values" for your Subtotal Type.
Filters
Filters work in a simlar way to Subtotals, but rather than breaking out a metric into multiple values, you are narrowing it down by the given parameters. To create a filter, select the filter dimension from the dropdown, and then once the possible values are loaded, select the filter value from the resulting dropdown.
Connections
» Check out the Intro to Metricly video tutorials as well.
Setting up Connections
You can setup connections to your different data sources from the "Connections" tab at the top of the page when you're logged in. Once setup, each connection will provide a set of metrics (with subtotals and filters) for you to add to your graphs. Once connected, some data sources have their own configuration options available from the "Configure" link next to the data source.
Connection Security
In most cases, we connect to each data source using an industry standard mechanism called oAuth. In those cases, you are prompted by the given service to login and grant us access to access your account information, and we never store your actual account password. If the given service doesn't support oAuth (or a similar mechanism), we store your login information in a military-grade encrypted data store.
Multiple Connections
Do you have multiple Twitter accounts or Facebook pages? Don't worry. You can setup multiple connections to a single data source just by clicking "Add Connection". In those cases, we will automatically aggregate the data from each account in your graphs. But if you'd like to see each account separately, you simply choose the "Source Connection" subtotal or filter.

Internal Data
Internal Data Overview
We have two easy ways to connect your internal data with Metricly. If the data you'd like to track is in your own database, we highly recommend that you use our Database Connector (see more below). If the data is in a spreadsheet or similar, then you can use our Custom Data API to push the data into Metricly.
Database Connector
The Database Connector is an easy way to create metrics (with subtotals and filters) from the existing data in your database. The setup requires you to install a small application (our Database Connector) on your backend, and then everything is configured through Metricly. We currently support MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server Database and the Database Connector runs on most standard Apache web servers (with PHP 5.2 or higher). To get started, first make sure you've viewed our Database Connector video tutorial, and then follow the instructions at:
http://developer.metricly.com/wiki/DatabasePlugin
Custom Data API
Our Custom Data API allows you to push "comma-separated-value" (CSV) files up to Metricly to create metrics to track in Metricly. You can push those files up manually using the "Configure" link on the Custom Data API connector, or programatically using a script. You can learn more about the Custom Data Import API here:
http://developer.metricly.com/wiki/CustomData

Weekly Email Reports
Stay Connected
Every Monday we'll send you a color-coded email report that summarizes how your key metrics have performed for the last week. Next to the totals for each metric, our email reports also show you how things compare to the week before including growth rate comparisons so you know if things are accelerating or deccelerating.
Live Reports
Limit what you Share
Control what you want to share and who you want to share it with. Metricly Live Reports makes it easy to share your dashboard metrics with outside stakeholders, while giving you control over what each viewer can see and do with your data.
Creating Reports and Links
To create a Live Report, select which dashboards you want to share, as well as the date range, date rollup and comment access you want to provide the viewer. Once the report is created, you can then create separate links to the report with or without a password.
