There are two views of Impact Metrics: summary and detailed. The summary view highlights the calculated metrics for global reach, impact, and sentiment. Content in private and secret groups shows viewers instead of global reach. The detailed view provides calculated metrics shown in the summary plus an email metric, a graph of social actions that contribute to the metrics, and details about viewers and referrers.
The summary view of calculated metrics lives in the sidebar of your published content:
When you click View More, you see the detailed view of Impact Metrics. For more on the detailed Impact Metrics, see Using the Detailed View. The following calculated metrics are available for supported content type:
