Metrics on the In-App Guidance Page in Setup

The In-App Guidance page in Setup shows these metrics for active prompts and walkthroughs.

Column What It Shows
Views The number of unique users who saw the prompt or walkthrough. This number doesn’t include video views.
Completes The percentage of users who clicked the Action button in a prompt, click the action link in a walkthrough, or clicked Finish on the last step of a walkthrough.

To reset the metric values to zero, select Reset Metrics from the prompt’s or walkthrough’s actions dropdown. Consider resetting metrics when you make significant changes to an active prompt or walkthrough where the end date hasn’t passed. In this case, users see the prompt or walkthrough again after you reset its metrics.

Custom Report Type

To analyze in-app guidance usage in more detail, set up a custom report type that uses the Prompt Action object. Add these fields as columns in the report.

  • Last Display Date
  • Last Result
  • Name
  • Times Action Taken
  • Times Dismissed
  • Times Displayed
  • User: Full Name

If you’re reviewing walkthrough data, consider adding these fields.

  • Step Count
  • Step Number

To create a progress percentage formula field, you can use the Step Number divided by the Step Count.
