Engagement Report

After you publish an achievement, we recommend logging into your Merit account to view your Engagement Report. Merit has robust analytics built right in, making it easy to show how you're generating measurable attention for your institution. 

Achievement snapshot

At the top of your engagement report you will find an Achievement Snapshot. Here you'll see some statistics about this achievement, including the total number of students involved, how many times your stories were viewed on Merit (total page views) and how many times your audience interacted with this achievement (total actions). 

• Total Actions: The combined total of student emails clicked + parent emails clicked + activities added + jobs added + photos added + videos added + Facebook shares + Twitter posts + LinkedIn posts + Tumblr posts + email shares. 

Merit makes it easy to share engagement reports with colleagues, leadership, and internal stakeholders that do not have a Merit account. Clicking on the "Share" link in the upper right corner of your engagement report will open up a light box:
