Custom Boards Beta

Understand what are custom boards in CleverTap.

Overview

The Custom Boards is a feature in CleverTap that allows you to create and customize your board. CleverTap provides a set of default boards, such as the Today View, Mobile App View, Uninstalls View, Revenue View , NPS view, which you can use to analyze user activity in your application.

Each custom board you create is composed of Tiles, which are widgets you can pin to the board to track the metrics of your interest. You can pin Tiles and track the metrics using one of the following features: funnels and trends.

Private Beta

Currently, this feature is a Private Beta Release. If you want access to this feature, contact your Customer Success Manager.

For example, if you want to track the following metrics for the last 30 days:

  • Weekly comparison of Unique users who purchased
  • Total purchases by brand

As shown in the following image, you can create a custom board and add Tiles to track the above metrics. You can also pin those Tiles to the board.

This section covers how to create a custom board. To create a board:

  1. Go to Analytics > Boards BETA from the left navigation menu.
  2. Click Create Board.
  3. Enter your board name and click Create.

Operations

You can perform the following actions on a particular board:

Share

CleverTap provides restricted board access so that the board owner can control the members who can view and contribute to the insights captured on the board. The board owner can add or remove members from the access list and can control access levels.

To share a board, perform the following steps:

  1. Create your custom board.
  2. Click the Share icon. The Share Board popup displays with restricted permissions by default. Use the search box to view and add users to this board.

Share the board

  1. Select the required users and click Done. The selected users can now access the board based on their permissions.

You can also copy the link and share the board. However, the user must have the required access to the board.

Shared Access Types

There are three levels of access:

  • Owner: Full permissions to edit tiles, manage users, and delete the board.
  • Editor: Full permissions similar to Owner, except they cannot remove the Owner.
  • Viewer: Can view the board but cannot make changes.

Access Methods

There are two ways to assign access:

  • Individual Access: The Owner or Editor manually adds users via email and assigns them Editor or Viewer access.
  • General Access: The board can be set as Anyone can View or Anyone can Edit, granting all users in the account that level of access.

Note

Both access types can coexist. For example, a board marked as General View can be visible to all users, while a few power users are assigned Individual Edit access to this board. In such cases, individual access overrides general access.

This option is used when you want to track the same metrics with minor changes. Anyone who has access to your project can clone the board by clicking the three-dot menu at the top of the board and then selecting Clone from the list.

Rename

You can rename the board clicking the three-dot menu at the top of the board and then selecting Rename from the list.
