Analytics

Fours Analytics charts the data already in your Fours organization — revenue records, entitlements, buyers, co-sell referrals, and your own users — without exporting it to another tool first. It runs at console.suger.io/analytics, ships with built-in dashboards you can use as they are, and lets you build your own on top of the same datasets.

The building block is a chart, not a dashboard. You create a chart against one dataset, and that chart is reusable — several dashboards can show it, so a metric stays defined in one place. Dashboards then add filters on top, so a single dashboard answers a range of questions instead of needing a copy per segment.

What you can do

• Create a chart from a dataset and pick from a wide catalog of visualizations — area, bar, big number, funnel, heatmap, country map, and more.
• Assemble charts into a dashboard, add filters to it, and pin it — or a public dashboard shared with your organization — so it opens as a tab on your Analytics page.
• Scope a dashboard by time with the As Of Date filter, or by whatever dimensions the underlying dataset exposes.
• Switch any chart to View as Table to see the rows behind it, then export and download the data.

Start with the Quick Guide to open Analytics, pin a dashboard, and learn the filter, table, and export controls. When you are ready to build, Craft Dashboards walks through creating a chart, assembling it into a dashboard, adding and editing filters, and pinning the result.

Two references support that work. Available Charts describes each chart type and the marketplace question it suits — which one to reach for when you want sales over time versus a category comparison. Available Datasets lists the datasets that come out of the box, including billing_revenue_record, marketplace_entitlement, cosell_referral, and identity_buyer, with the metrics and dimensions each one carries.

Scope and limits

The Analytics page also shows a banner, Analytics is moving to Insulin Custom Apps, with an Open Custom Apps button. Your existing dashboards keep working here until the page is retired; they are not moved across automatically. Custom Apps explains how to build a dashboard there by describing what you need in plain English, and how to get help migrating.
