View Reports By Team
If you have permissions for multiple Teams, you can toggle between Team reporting by toggling between them via the Viewing dropdown in the navigation bar.
Filter Reports
Adding filters to your reports controls which emails are included in the data you see. Filters are made up of three separate components:
-
- Metric (e.g. Open rate)
- Operator (e.g. is greater than)
- Condition (e.g. 75%)
Text-based filters can have operators applied that can filter by:
-
- Equals - meets the criteria exactly as entered
- Does not equal - does not meet the exact criteria entered
- Contains - includes the criteria as entered anywhere in the field specified
- Does not contain - does not include the criteria anywhere in the field specified
You can stack multiple filters on the same text-based metric by applying the AND / OR operators.
Number-based filters can have operators applied that can filter by:
-
- Equals - is exactly the criteria exactly as entered
- Not equal - does not meet the exact criteria entered
- Greater than - is a higher number than the criteria entered, does not include the number entered
- Less than - is a lower number than the criteria entered, does not include the number entered
- In range - numbers are between the specified range
You can apply the following filters to your reports:
Campaign Summary
-
- Subject
- Sent By (ContactMonkey user)
- Sent From (sending email address)
- Sent At (Date, mm-dd-yyyy)
- Recipient (Distribution list name/CSV name/custom list)
- Recipient Count
- Tracking Type (dropdown/toggle)

- Open Rate (%) (unique open %)
- Multiple Opens
- Unopened
