Add Breakdowns

Over time, as a result of mobile communications with your contacts through the Echo platform, you build up a lot of information about them that is stored as fields and labels. You can now slice and split out your contact based on this information.
  1. Do you have questions like....
    1. How many contacts registered over the last 30 days?
    2. Across all our contacts, how many visited the Nairobi branch, and how many visited the Dar-es-Salaam branch?
    3. What’s the gender breakdown of contacts who registered in the last 12 months?

Contact analysis can generate and quickly download charts and graphs that help answer these questions for you. You can breakdown the chart by a field, a label, a group, opt-out and time. Contact analysis allow for break down of contacts by text field type and cannot breakdown by date and numbers field type.
To add a breakdown property, do the following:
  1. Click on “EDIT CHART” and click on "ADD BREAKDOWN"
