How to Create a Lead Source Analysis Report using SIERA
View SIERA Reports
To view the default SIERA reports screen, navigate to Reports>SIERA.
Sort Data
The visual below displays how to re-order and sort data on a table.
Drill Down
Open any SIERA report, and click on any entry within the report. This will securely drill down to the lead, opportunity, activity, or task level. The data you see in the drill-down will be dependent on the permissions provided to you.
Customize Drill Down Columns
Customize the columns in your drill-down report by adding and removing fields. You can select up to 10 columns in the drill-down report.
Add Filters
In addition to the four default filters, add up to 11 custom filters to customize the data that’s displayed on the report.
Add Dimensions
Here, use the Row Grouping option to determine how the data is grouped in the report rows. Use the Column Grouping option to create a pivot table.
Reorder Dimensions
Reorder the rows you’ve selected in the report. You can add up to three rows.
Create Pivot Tables
Add a field under Column Grouping to create a Pivot table.
Users can also add date fields to the Pivot Table. Once added, you can select a date aggregation. For e.g., if you add the Leads Created On field, you can further select the date range during which you want to view the leads created (like Month, Year, Quarter, etc.).
Create Charts
This section lets you add, edit, and remove charts from your report. You will be presented with the following Chart options – No Chart, Bar, Column, Line, Area, Pie, and Donut.
Depending on the chart you select, you also get the option to choose the Chart Attributes –
Show Data Labels – This is available for all the chart types. This allows you to add data labels to your chart. The data points highlight the value against the respective chart point.
Show Percentage labels – This is available for Pie and Donut Charts. This tells you the percentage distribution of a value with the total in percentage.
Stacked – This option is available for Bar, Column, Line, and Area Charts. A stacked chart is a form of a chart that shows the composition and comparison of the variables selected. For example, if you have a Column chart of Owners vs Lead Stages stacked for Stages, you will see a chart with a Column for each Owner and each Column showing the distribution of leads per Owner.
100% Stacked – Available in Bar and Column Charts. Percent Stacked Bar or Column Chart is designed to display the relationship of constituent parts to the whole. You can compare the contribution of each value to a total (sum) across categories. In the case of a Column Chart, the range of values along the Y-axis is from 0 to 100%. You will need to select the Stacked option along with this option.
Create and Save Reports
Once you’ve customized a report, and if you intend on using the same report in the future, use the Report Views option. This saves the current report state and ensures you can reuse it whenever required.
Share Reports
Once you’ve created and saved a Report View, you can share it with all the users in your account. This allows your users to view the report that you’ve created, with all the customizations you’ve done. On the Report Views screen –
- Under All Views, you can see all the Report Views shared with you, including the Report Views you have created.
- Under My Views, you can only see the Report Views you have created.
