Reports Metrics Glossary
Introduction
This glossary provides definitions for all metrics shown in the Analytics section of the Mindflash Administrator view. Note that an activity in Mindflash, such as a Trainee starting a course, is recorded as an “event” that happens at a specific time. All metric values in Analytics are calculated based on the events that occurred during the date range filter that is applied unless otherwise noted.
How group filtering works when a trainee switches groups
In Analytics, you can filter the metrics results by a group in addition to the date range. If a user were a member of a selected group for the entirety of the selected date range, then all of their course activity would be included in the resulting metrics due to historical status filtering. However, if a user’s group membership were to change during the date range, then their course activity would be included in the group that corresponds to the moment in time when the user started the course. For example:
- Let’s imagine you filter on the group “Sales” for the date range, January 1 – March 31
- Jennifer was in Sales group from Jan 1 – Feb 28 and was moved to Marketing group afterward
- If Jennifer started a course while in Sales in January and then completed it in March, then that course completion would be included in the “Attempts Completed” metric given that the Sales group filter is applied. If the Marketing Group filter were applied instead, Jennifer’s course completion would not be included in the Attempts Completed metric.

Note that it may take a few minutes for an activity that has just concurred in the product to be reflected as an event in the Analytics metrics.
