# Beacon Analytics - New Guidance Analytics Dashboard

## Introduction

With Beacon Analytics, find the engagement of your end users with the Beacons on your application. The Dashboard contains various Insights, such as Beacons displayed, Beacons shown, and more, to help you understand end-user engagement with Beacons.

The following functionalities are possible in the New Guidance Analytics Dashboard experience for Beacon Analytics:

- View end-user engagement data for Beacons in easy to understand visual formats.
- Understand the description of the metrics and the events that are used to calculate the metrics.
- Add Filters, such as city, country, and more, to filter the data on the Dashboard.
- Filter your data based on daily, weekly, monthly, or custom timeframes.
- Add Event Filters to drill down on the event. For example, find the number of users who clicked a particular Beacon called **New feature alert**.
- Add User Filters to filter the users who engaged with the content. For example, find the number of users who engaged with Beacons using the Chrome browser.
- Change the chart type of the Insight, wherever applicable.
- View top metrics, such as the date on which end users engage the most with the event or daily average of engagement, and percentage changes in end-user engagement.
- Export the Dashboard.
