Key Metric Categories

Hook supports a large number of metrics (e.g. total active users) for every organisation. Key Metrics are added to a category for ease of discovery in Key Metrics on the Account Page. Categories are customised for your organisation in Key metric category settings.

Example: Adding a metrics category called Users with the following metrics: total users, total active users, total power users and total inactive users.

Organising Key Metrics in categories helps CSMs focus on the most important metrics. It helps CSMs perform deep-dives on account usage in specific product areas or use cases e.g. user activity or support ticket metrics.

Key metrics must be added to a key metric category to appear in the Key Metrics section on the Account Page.

Key metric categories in settings

For organisations with multiple products in Hook, key metrics categories are separate for each product. For example, Product A can have a category of video metrics, and Product B can have a category of audio metrics. Each category would contain metrics specific to that product.
