In this article, we’ll show you how you can access your data through our exports.

Self-service access

Qubit Export provides self-service access to your data through a library of export types that cover the most common reportables for Qubit’s products and other industry-relevant reportables.

To ensure you can export your data according to your reporting needs, you can define the reporting period, including any date exclusions, and also add dimensions, such as operating system and metrics such as total order value.

Key features

  • Self-service data access

  • Access to a library of export types covering a range of Qubit products, including Experiences and Segments

  • Export of post-experience segmentation analysis, which incorporates a stats model to provide confidence and uplift of each sub-segment

  • Export to tools such as Microsoft Excel for offline analysis

  • SQL export for use in Live Tap

Getting started

Select Data tools and then Export from the side menu to get a list of your previous data exports

Warning

Your user will require the Reporting role to use the Export page. Depending on your user role, you may be able to assign this role yourself but you may need to ask the owner of your property for assistance. See Roles and permissions.

Getting an overview of your exported data

The list view presents outline information about each of your exports, including:

  • The name of the export

  • The date of the export and who performed it

  • The export type - for example, Visitor pulse, Experience Post Analysis

  • The export date range

  • The export status - this can be 1 of 4 Complete, In Progress, No results, and Failed

In the following example, we see that the user has previously exported data using the types Experience performance and Experiences - Customer breakdown:

A focus on export status

Each of your exports can have one of four statuses. Let’s examine each one:

  • Complete: The export completed without errors.

  • In progress: The data is currently being exported.

  • No results: The SQL query has returned no data. We recommend that you edit the export options, dimensions, and metrics, and consider broadening the export parameters, such as the time period.

  • Failed: The export was not completed due to errors. For troubleshooting, contact Coveo Support.

Creating and configuring an export

Warning

A number of the above reports will not work with properties that are using non-default or non-transactional events as conversions. More information is available by contacting Coveo Support.

A focus on experience performance

To export Experience performance data, Qubit has built a analytics tool that allows us to analyze the results of an experience and then break down those results according to the selected dimensions. For more information about the logic used to generate this data, see Experience performance.

Configuring

Once you’ve created the export, you must determine what data will be included. This will differ according to the export type, but includes:

  • The experiences and segments you wish to know more about

  • A date picker that you can use to restrict the export data to a certain period of time you’re interested in. You can also select to exclude certain dates from the export data, such as weekends or specific sales events, that might skew your data

  • Data dimensions such as returning visitors only, operating system, device type, and location

  • Data metrics such as visitors, transactors, and total order value

For more information about each of these options, refer to Configuration options.

As an example, we will look at configuring an export of post experience analysis data.

Step 1

Select the experiences you wish to export data for. In the following example, the user has selected a single experience:

listview
Tip
Leading-practice

You can also search for experiences by entering a search term in the field provided. The list of experiences will be updated as you type.

Step 2

Click the calendar button and select a export start and end date. In the following example, the user has selected Feb 01, 2017 to Mar 01, 2017:

listview

If necessary, add date exclusions by selecting Add excluded dates and then selecting the start and end date for the exclusion. In the following example, the user has excluded the first two weekends in February from the export data:

listview

Step 3

Select one or more of the available dimensions and metrics

Step 4

Select Generate export to generate the export data

The export will now be displayed in the list view and the progress bar will show the progress of the export process.

Note

Depending on the quantity of data, it may take a couple of minutes for the export to complete.

Configuration options

Dimensions

Dimensions differ according to the export type, but these broadly allow you to break down your date into an additional layer of more specific reportables, such as operating system, location, and device type.

Metrics

Metrics also differ according to the export type, and allow you to measure your data against reportables such as goals, visitors, and total order value.

Refer to the following table for details of the metrics available for configuring each export type:

Using an export as a template

This option allows you to create a new export by copying an existing one. For example, if you have already performed an export and you would like to run the same export but with different dates, keeping the original, you should use this option.

Note

This option is only available for exports with the status Complete.

To use an export as a template, select more, and then Use as template.

Deleting exports

Select more, and then Delete export.

Downloading exports

You can download any export that has the status Complete. You can download results in CSV format and also download the underlying SQL query that is used to generate the export data.

To download an export, select download reports and then either Download CSV or Download SQL

Opening the CSV file

To reduce download time, the generated CSV file is compressed using GZIP. The downloaded file is assigned a .csv.gz extension.

macOS and Linux systems include native support for decompressing and extracting compressed files, but for those customers using Windows, a decompression utility is required.

We recommend one of the following free utilities:
