Unified Analytics Experiences
Post snapshots of CRM Analytics dashboards and lenses in Slack. Add any collection created in Analytics as a component of your Lightning page.
- Post from CRM Analytics to Slack
- Facilitate data-driven collaboration by sharing directly from CRM Analytics to your channels in Slack. Now you can post CRM Analytics dashboards and lenses, including intelligent app dashboards. Slack recipients get a snapshot showing the latest data. Or post a link with quick action buttons that can include view details, share, subscribe, and download from Slack.
- Access Any Analytics Collection in Lightning PagesProvide analytics where your users work with embedded collections on Lightning pages. In the Lightning App Builder, you can now select any Analytics collection to be a component of your page. Previously, only the first collection was available for embedding. A collection can include CRM Analytics dashboards and lenses, Lightning reports and dashboards, and Tableau dashboards.
Data Cloud Reports and Dashboards
Track important metrics in matrix format. Include unstructured data in your reports. Get help from Einstein generative AI when creating report formulas.
- Summarize Complex Data with Matrix Reports
  Get a comprehensive view of your data at a glance by grouping Data Cloud records in a matrix format. Surface trends across sections of the data by comparing subtotals. For a broader perspective, review the totals and grand totals in the report. For example, identify customers’ shopping patterns by adding a row grouping for event type and a column grouping for product category in a matrix report. You can add up to two row-level and two-column level groups, which can also be based on formulas.
- Analyze Data from Unified Objects and Related Source Objects
  Data Cloud reports now support unified link objects that are key to identity resolution, so you can review records from a unified object and related source objects in the same report. For example, to review customer details from different sources along with key qualifier IDs, build a custom report that relates Individual, Unified Individual, and Unified Individual Link Object DMOs.
- Export More Records from Data Cloud Reports
  Export up to 50,000 rows from a Data Cloud report using the .csv, .xls, or .xlsx file formats. This limit includes totals and subtotals. Previously, the limit was 2,000 rows.
- Build More Granular Reports on Calculated Insights
  To get a more in-depth analysis of metrics from a calculated insight object, add up to five dimensions as groups to a calculated insight report. Previously, you could include up to three dimensions. With this enhancement, you can define non-aggregatable measures with higher precision, such as ranking. For example, focus your marketing efforts with a report that ranks web traffic sources based on five demographic characteristics: age group, gender, education, income, and family status.
- Unlock Insights from Unstructured Data
  Sometimes the relevant customer information that you capture, such as call notes and chat transcripts, resides as unstructured data in your data source. With Data Cloud reports, you can process unstructured data in a data model object (DMO), analyze it, and report on it. For example, review customer satisfaction scores alongside customer comments from the Survey Response DMO. Or, include PDF files of case notes from case DMO records for future reference.
- Add Calculated Fields to Your Data Cloud Reports with Einstein Generative AI
  Customizing reports to meet your business needs is much easier when Einstein Report Formula Generation assists with the technical work of creating row-level and summary formulas. Describe a calculation in simple terms, and Einstein discovers the relevant data and suggests a formula. Previously, constructing formulas for calculated fields required expertise in data models, objects and fields, available functions, and the various limitations of data types and formula types.
