Glossary: Impact Analysis

This glossary will help you understand the key metrics and terminology used in Impact Analysis. Use this reference to interpret dashboard data and communicate findings to your leadership team.

% Daily Focused Time

Definition
The percentage of a Segment's Productive Time that is Focused Time.

 

Calculation
(Focused Time / Productive Time) × 100%

 

Example
A Segment with 6.0 hours of Daily Productive Time and 3.0 hours of Focused Time has a % Daily Focused Time of (3.0 / 6.0) × 100% = 50%.

A vs. B

Definition
The row in the small table under each card on the Summary tab that lists the two values being compared: Segment A's value and Segment B's value for that metric.

 

Example
Under the Daily Productive Time card, A vs. B shows 6.2 vs. 5.8 (hrs).

Allocation %

Definition
The share of a Segment's time spent in a category, application, or site during the selected time frame. Allocation % shows where time goes relative to everything else, rather than how much time was spent in absolute terms.

 

Example
If Segment B spends 8 hours in a new project tool out of 80 total hours in the date range, the tool's Allocation % = (8 / 80) × 100% = 10%. If Segment A shows 0%, the tool was not in use before the rollout.

Avg. End of Day

Definition
The average time of day that the Segment's workday ends, based on the last registered activity.

 

Example
Segment A's workday ends at 5:30 PM on average, and Segment B's ends at 6:45 PM. Segment B's bar extends later in the day.

Avg Focused Session (min)

Definition
The average length, in minutes, of a focused session for each Segment. Longer sessions mean fewer interruptions between stretches of focused work.

 

Example
Segment A averages 14 minutes per focused session, and Segment B averages 21. Segment B has longer uninterrupted stretches of focused work.

Daily Productive Time

Also known as Productive Hrs/Day

 

Definition
The average hours per day a Segment spends on activity classified as productive. Read it with Daily Screen Time to see how much of the day is productive.

 

Example
Segment A has 7.5 hours of Daily Screen Time and 6.0 hours of Daily Productive Time, so 80% of its screen time is productive.

Daily Screen Time

Also known as Screen Time Hrs/Day

 

Definition
The average hours per day each Segment spends on a computer or device. A higher value can point to longer workdays rather than better results, so read it with Daily Productive Time and % Daily Focused Time.

 

Example
Segment A averages 7.5 hours of screen time per day and Segment B averages 8.4. Check whether Segment B's extra hour is productive time.

Difference

Definition
The gap between Segment A's value and Segment B's value for a metric, shown in a small table under each card on the Summary tab. It uses the same unit as the metric.

 

Example
Segment A has 6.2 hours of Daily Productive Time, and Segment B has 5.8. The Difference is 0.4 hours.

Healthy

Also known as % Healthy Users

 

Definition
The percentage of users in a Segment whose utilization is within (±) 20% of their Productive Hrs/Day goal. On this dashboard, Healthy shows the percentage of users in a Segment who have a Healthy utilization status.

 

Calculation
(Healthy users / Total users) × 100%

 

Example
A Segment has 40 users, and 28 of them are at a healthy utilization level. Healthy = (28 / 40) × 100% = 70%.

Overutilized

Also known as % Overutilized Users

 

Definition
The percentage of users in a Segment whose utilization is more than 20% above their Productive Hrs/Day goal. On this dashboard, Overutilized shows the percentage of users in a Segment who have an Overutilized status.

 

Calculation
(Overutilized users / Total users) × 100%
