Analytics FAQ

See our How To User Guide under the detailed Analytics section.

In August 2015: v3.7.118 Ongage normalized all date filters in all analytics reports to be according to stats-date, for more accurate and consistent presentation of aggregated campaign statistics.
For example: a filter of the last 2 weeks in your aggregate report, will show all campaigns that were scheduled and sent in the last 2 weeks, as well as campaigns from earlier than that, that have accumulated new opens, clicks, unsubscribes, etc. stats, in past 2 weeks. Note: those latter campaigns will have 0 in the sent stats, as in the selected time-frame there were no sent stats for them, but they appear in the report as new opens, clicks, etc. that occurred after, do fall into the stats-date time-frame.

When an Open or Click occurs, Ongage tracks it on its tracking domain (which is the domain you point to when you setup your branded tracking domain in the Ongage platform. See: Tracking and Image Hosting).
The IP associated with that Open and/or Click is mapped, using an IP Geo mapping database which maps the IP to a country and state within that country (Ongage currently does not have city level IP mapping).
This data is then stored in the Ongage statistical database and displayed in the aggregate report under the 'Per Country' tab.
In addition, this data is also stored in the Ongage behavioral database on a per contact level.
1. For multiple Opens and/or Clicks, the behavioral DB keeps multiple records for each open and click with a time-stamp (rounded to the nearest hour), which you can view in the Ongage Contact Activity Report.
2. Within each open and click record in the contact database, Ongage also stores the geo information related to each open and click of each user.

How are statistics recorded and reported in Ongage, when sending a transactional message to a contact that is not in the list?

Q: Do stats get registered in the snapshot report?

A: There is no snapshot report for Transactional campaigns.

Q: Will stats appear in the various aggregated reports (Aggregate & Transactional)?

A: Yes

Q: Are stats registered in contact activity?

A: No, as the contact does not exist in the list.

Note: when possible, it is always best practice to send transactional messages to contacts that are in the list.
