--- title: "View performance analytics" slug: "view-performance-analytics" abstract: "Provides details on the performance analytics dashboard that you use when running experiences (SItecore Personalize)." --- # View performance analytics When your experience has been live for 24 hours, you can start viewing how it's performing against the baseline target on the **Performance** screen. For the data to populate the dashboard, you must perform the following: - Add goals to the experience - you must assign at least one goal to the experience. Optionally, you can add a **Target Result**, which displays a baseline target on the line graph. - Set the experience to a live status - after an experience is live, personalization is in effect and the experience can potentially be shown to guests. To view performance analytics: 1. On the navigation menu, click **Experiences**. The [experience](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/using-the-experience-list.html "Using the experience list") list displays. 2. To view experiences by status, click the **Live**, **Paused**, or **Completed** tab. To refine the list further, click **Web**, **Interactive**, or **Triggered** to display experiences by type. 3. Click the name of the experience you want to view. The **Performance** screen displays. Here's a partial image of the upper part of the **Performance** screen: ![The upper part of the Performance screen.](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/images/View_Performance_analytics_Top.png) This table contains a description of each screen item on the upper part of the **Performance** screen: | Screen item | Description | | --- | --- | | **Name** | The proper name of the experience you're viewing. | | **Status** and **Last updated** details | The [current status of the experience](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/managing-experience-status-in-sitecore-personalize.html), and the date, timestamp, and user who last updated the experience. The current status affects the **Status** change button, as detailed in the row below. | | **Start** or **Pause** button | If the experience has a live status, a **Pause** button displays. If the experience has a draft or paused status, a **Start** button displays. | | **Preview** or **Test** button | Click **Preview** to test and [preview a web experience](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/preview-a-web-experience.html). To [test the API request](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/test-the-api-request-for-a-web-experience.html) for a web experience, click **Preview API**.

To [test and configure the API response](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/test-the-api-response-for-an-interactive-experience.html) for an interactive experience, click **Test**. The **Test** button only displays for interactive experience. | | **Vertical ellipsis** | Click to duplicate, delete, or view the history of the experience. | | **Status** and **schedule** banner | The status of the experience and duration it's scheduled to run. | | **Performance** | The **Performance** screen is selected by default when you open an experience with a [live](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/managing-experience-status-in-sitecore-personalize.html) status. | | **Operational data** | Click to view operational metrics for the experience. | | **Analyze & Export** | Click to [see an in-depth, day-by-day analysis](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/the-analyze-and-export-dashboard.html) of experience performance that you can download. | | **Summary** | Click to [view details of the experience](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/duplicate,-delete,-and-view-experience-details.html) including when it was created and who created it. | | **Add dashboards** | Click to [view various analytics dashboards](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/view-dashboards.html) to better understand performance. This option is available to customers who have Sitecore CDP in addition to Sitecore Personalize. | | **Primary Goal** bar chart | Displays the performance metric of the experience against the selected primary goal—the main metric used to evaluate the experience.

When you hover your mouse over a bar, a tooltip shows the error range, representing a 95% confidence level due to sampling noise.

The error range is displayed as (`goalValue` - `standardError`) — (`goalValue` + `standardError`), where `standardError` is calculated as follows:

| | **Days Running** | The number of days the experience has been running since it started. If you pause and restart the experence, this number resets. | | **Total Unique Sessions** | The total number of unique sessions where a guest was shown the experience, and it was counted toward the primary goal, for example, a decreased bounce rate. | Here's a partial image of the lower part of the **Performance** screen: ![The lower part of the Performance screen.](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/images/View_Performance_analytics_Bottom.png) This table contains a description of each screen item on the lower part of the **Performance** screen: | Screen item | Description | | --- | --- | | **All Goals By Session** | A table of all goals in the experience measured by unique session count. | | **Breakdown by Goal** line graph | This line graph lets you compare the outcome of the goal against the baseline target. Click the goal whose metrics you want to see on the line graph, from the drop-down list. The **Breakdown by Goal** and **Details** table update with metrics for the selected goal.

The y axis displays the metric that the experience achieved, as measured against the selected goal. The x axis displays the date range that you want to view results for, based on what you selected from the **Time** filter. Hover your mouse over a data point to see its value. | | **Device** filter | Click the **Device** you want to filter by. The line graph refreshes to only show metrics for the selected device. This is set to **ALL** by default. | | **Time** filter | Select the time span by which you want to filter results. You can select **Last 7 Days**, **Last 30 Days**, or **Select date** to enter a date range. This is set to **ALL** by default. | | **Details** table | This table contains metrics for the experience as measured against the goal you clicked from the **Breakdown by Goal** drop-down list. | | **Sessions** column | The number of current unique sessions. | | **Selected Goal** column | Shows the metric for the goal you selected from the **Breakdown by Goal** drop-down list. For example, if you choose **Conversion**, this column displays its value.

The value includes a margin of error (**±** value), representing a 95% confidence level due to sampling noise.

The format is `goalValue` ± `marginOfError`. The calculations are:

| | **Uplift** column | Shows the percentage difference in the goal metric achieved by the experience against the goal you selected from the **Breakdown by Goal** drop-down list.

The value includes a margin of error (**±** value), representing a 95% confidence level due to sampling noise.

The format is `uplift` ± `conversionRateErrorPercentage`. The calculations are:

| | **Confidence Index** | A type of [estimate calculated from the statistics of the selected goal](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/users/sitecore-personalize/introduction-to-experiences/using-the-confidence-index-in-an-experiment.html). This estimate is only reliable when the minimum sample size is reached. The higher the confidence index, the higher the probability that the results of the experience are accurate. |
