Quick access: Insights > Conversation Overview
The Conversation Overview Dashboard is meant to serve as a general look into your company's usage of your conversations over the period of your contract. This dashboard serves as a check-in on where your company may be in your contract period. It will allow you to determine if you are over or underusing your conversations.
Check out the following video for an overview of the Conversation Overview dashboard.
Filters and Downloads
The Conversation Overview Dashboard allows you to organize multiple tiles and data sources into a single space, making it easier to quickly analyze many related pieces of content. To customize your view of the data, use the filters at the top of the dashboard.
Filters
Filters appear at the top of the dashboard and match fields contained within the dashboard's tiles. Depending on their configuration, they can include single- or multiple-choice options, ranges of values, or various date and time options. In some cases, filters may be required by the dashboard in order to run.
- Date: The Date filter allows you to filter by various criteria.
- Click in the Date field to reveal a drop-down menu and select the filter of your choice.
- If desired, change the number that appears (7 is pictured here) to a number of your choice. Then use the drop-down menu to select the unit of measurement.
- Click the + sign to add any other desired criteria for filtering. To remove criteria, click the X.
- Note that "null" and "matches" in the drop-down menu are not applicable at this time.
- Conversation Type: Click in the Conversation Type field to reveal a drop-down menu that will allow you to filter by Voice or Digital conversations.
- Call Targets: Click in the Call Target field to reveal a drop-down menu that will allow you to filter by any combination of Call Targets.
After updating a filter's value(s), you will need to refresh the dashboard to pull in the filtered data. A refresh button will appear in the upper right corner of the dashboard. After clicking on it, each tile may take a few seconds to update.

You can refresh your data at any point by selecting the refresh button in the upper right corner of the dashboard.
