What Siteimprove reports would be of interest to my manager?

We know that reporting on progress with Siteimprove is important, and it can often be difficult to choose which reports to pass on to upper-level management. We provide numerous reports that are easy to access allowing you to get a comprehensive view of your progress.

You can see the reporting options for widgets throughout the platform, by clicking on the “Export” button in the top right corner. Options available can depend on the widget and include "Download Excel file", "Export to PDF/HTML" and  "Add widget to dashboard". 

We recommend using the dashboard reports as they can be easily scheduled.

Below are some examples of reports and widgets that may be useful to you and your manager:

• Dashboard standard reports
• Quality Assurance widgets
• Accessibility widgets
• SEO widgets
• Policy widgets
• Analytics widgets
• Frontier reports

Dashboard standard reports

These are useful pre-configured dashboard reports that show how well your site is doing across different modules e.g. QA, Accessibility, SEO, Analytics, Ads.
As well as the pre-configured dashboards you can create customized dashboards to meet your needs.

The pre-configured dashboards of interest to management include:

• Management dashboard: A top-level view of the state of your websites.
• DCI Score dashboard: DCI® Scores across modules (e.g. QA, Accessibility, SEO).
• Digital Marketing Reporting dashboard: Provides you with a comparable overview of key data from SEO, Analytics, and Ads.

Note: There are some other pre-configured dashboards that are more of interest to editors, these include the QA Editor Dashboard and Accessibility Editor Dashboard.

Customizable dashboards allow you to include the widgets you want in the dashboard and scheduled reports. The widgets listed later in this article can be added to a dashboard that can then be scheduled as a report. To schedule a report, click on Reports > Schedule report. Find out more in the article Configuring Siteimprove Dashboards and Dashboard reports.
