Purpose

Publishers submit leads for multiple campaigns throughout a quarter. Leads are validated using automated validation or manual review. 
When leads are rejected, publishers currently receive individual email notifications for each rejection.

This self-service dashboard shows publishers all their rejected leads across campaigns with summary metrics, time period filtering, and campaign selection. 
The dashboard provides high-level visibility into rejection counts, rejection rates, and top rejection reasons to enable data-driven quality improvement. 

Filtered data can be exported.

Publishers see only their own campaign data, while media buyers see aggregated data across all publishers they manage.

Access is permission based.

    • Company

    • Phone
    • Country
    • Campaign

    • All columns are exported
    • Data formatting is maintained, except for Rejection date. Universal format visible in the grid DD MMM YYYY, whereas in the exported data the format is DD/MM/YYYY

 

Rejection Analytics Filters

Rejection Analytics can be filtered by Date Range, Campaign and /or Publisher (Publisher filter is for Media Buyers only). Select the filters you want to use and apply.

Filter breakdown:

  • Date Range*
    • Last 7 days
    • Last 30 days
    • Last 90 days
    • Current quarter
    • Custom - select any From and To date
  • Campaign
    • List of Campaigns
  • Publisher (filter visible to media buyers)
    • List of publishers linked to campaigns (in Cost Per lead section)

Once filters are applied, the following is visible:

  • Total Leads (#)
  • Rejected Leads (#)
  • Rejection Rate (%)

 

* What you need to know about date range

Today is excluded from all "Last N days" presets (7/30/90) - these will show the last N complete days ending yesterday, not including the still-accumulating current day.

  • endDate = end-of-day of yesterday (not today)
  • startDate = midnight of (yesterday − (N−1) days)
  • This gives exactly N complete days for 7/30/90
  •  Today's partial-day data is removed from the trend/comparison entirely.

Data can be compared against previous period (enable if desired).

The system will take the date range and compare stats for the same preceding period of time e.g. if you filtered data by the last 7 days, the system will compare stats against the 7 days before (excluding today) and these stats will display an increase or decrease (arrow up or down) followed by the percentage of the increase/decrease

  • Graph will show current period & previous period columns
    • Current period
      • vivid green/red stacked columns for Volume
      • flat trend line line with markers for Rate %
    • Previous period
      • lighter greed /red stacked columns for Volume
      • broken trend line line with markers for Rate %
  • Rejected Leads (#, Arrow up or down and comparison %)
  • Rejection Rate (%, Arrow up or down and comparison %)

Understanding 'Compare to previous period' results in cards

First, familiarise yourself with what filters you want to compare and take a note of the values. Example below:

The calculation to verify result of comparison for 'Rejected Leads' is as follows (as seen in screenshots above, point 1)

=(Current Rejected Leads-Previous Rejected Leads)/Previous Rejected Leads*100

Which translates to: (79-45)/45*100 = 75.6 

As this is a positive value, the card has an upward arrow in front of the percentage. The tooltip reads: More rejected leads than previous period.

If there is negative value, the card will have a downward arrow in front of the percentage. The tooltip reads: Fewer rejected leads than previous period.

The calculation to verify result of comparison for 'Rejection Rate' is as follows (as seen in screenshots above, point 2)

=Current Rejection Rate-Previous Rejection Rate

Which translates to: 52.67-45 = 7.67

As this is a positive value, the card will have an upward arrow in front of the percentage. The tooltip will read: Higher rejection rate than previous period.

If there is a negative value, the card will have a downward arrow in front of the percentage. The tooltip reads: Lower rejection rate than previous period.

Rejection Analytics: Total Leads Charts

Total Leads are both Accepted Leads (Green) and Rejected Leads (Red). Data can be displayed by different chart types:

  • Volume ( % Stacked columns)
  • Rate % (Line chart with markers of rejection rate %)
  • Both

Total Leads chart can be broken down by:

  • Auto (default is best match based on date range, normally last 30 days)
  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Monthly

If counts are also being compared against the previous period a trendline is also be visible (grey line for current period & broken line for previous period - see legend)

If both metrics is selected, the graph will display both Volume & Rate% for the previous and current period:

Rejection Analytics: Top Rejection Reasons

Chart for Top Rejection Reasons is a clustered bar chart, highest to lowest (up to 15 reasons)
