Analytics and paper copy requests

See how manuals are used, which questions stay unanswered and handle paper copy requests.

Analytics shows how often manuals are opened, downloaded and asked about, and which questions stay unanswered. It also lists the paper copy requests that readers sent from the public reader.

  • Owner, Admin, Employee, Accountant, Purchase, Viewer (Manuals analytics read permission)

Steps

  1. 1. Choose manual and period

    Open Analytics in the sidebar. Choose a manual or "All manuals" and a period: last 7, 30, 90 or 365 days. The default is 30 days.

  2. 2. Create a proposal from unanswered topics

    Choose a manual first. Under "Unanswered topics" click "Create proposal". BizCortex groups the questions into gap proposals and shows how many were created. If the manual has no questions source yet, it is created for you.

  3. 3. Handle paper copy requests

    Under "Paper copies on request" you see each request. Send the printed manual and click "Mark as sent".
