Analytics

Allowing you to easily visualize and share data within your organization

Please contact your First Resonance Customer Success partner or email [email protected] for details on activating ION Analytics.

If your team already has Analytics enabled, but you see a blank white screen, you are missing the GenerateReadAnalyticsCredential permission. First Resonance is not able to update this on our end. Ask your team to enable it for you!

In order to create new analytics dashboards or modify existing dashboards, you will also need the GenerateWriteAnalytics Credential permission. First Resonance is not able to update this on our end. Ask your team to enable it for you!

ION Analytics provides users access to their data, custom reporting, and out-of-the-box dashboards from directly within ION, no set-up needed!

Key Features

ION Analytics Tool Set

Data Connector

For deep insights and ultimate flexibility, First Resonance offers a Data Connector that can be integrated with any analytics tool of your choice. This unlocks the ability to write custom SQL, combine ION data with external datasets, and conduct advanced analyses with support from your business analysts, software, or manufacturing teams. With direct access to a replica of your data, you can drive the insights needed to accelerate your manufacturing operations.

In App Analytics

ION Analytics within the app provides access to customer data but comes with some limitations. It’s designed for simple dashboards with limited joins and does not support custom SQL queries. As such, it's best suited for answering straightforward questions and consuming curated data products from First Resonance. These products offer aggregated, persona-based datasets tailored to common use cases. Keep these intended use cases in mind when working within the in-app analytics platform.
