Dashboard for Team Chat
Account owners and admins can view account-usage metrics for Team Chat, our group messaging product. The Team Chat Dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of chat usage and adoption, offering relevant and insightful metrics to help organizations understand how Team Chat is used. Data refreshes every 24 hours and includes metrics for messages sent, as well as message types such as files, images, or animated GIFs.
The dashboard also presents comprehensive engagement metrics, including Active Users and Active Channels, which track users who send, read, or react to messages and channels where these activities occur. Clear definitions accompany each metric, and admins can compare activity across day, week, or month ranges. Line charts display user and channel activity, segmented by private and public channels, and highlight all relevant data based on the selected time range to help admins better understand overall Team Chat usage patterns.
