Track a data room

Read the analytics that actually matter — who opened your room, which documents they spent time on, and who's worth a follow-up.

Plox Tip

A data room dashboard isn't a report card — it's a real-time signal of who's investing emotional energy in your story. The viewer with three repeat visits at midnight is the one to email first.

Before you begin#

  • A live data room with at least one viewer who's opened the link. (No views yet? See Sharing a document for distribution playbooks.)

How to open analytics#

  1. Open the Data Rooms section in the sidebar.
  2. Find the room you want to inspect.
  3. Click the View Analytics icon on the row.

You land on a dashboard with three views: Overview, By document, and By viewer.

The Overview tab#

  • Unique viewers — total verified emails that opened the room.
  • Avg time spent — across the whole room. Anything above 2 minutes is real engagement.
  • Completion rate — what percentage of the room each viewer made it through, averaged.
  • Top viewers — your "hottest" leads, ranked by combined time spent and revisits.

The "By document" tab#

Shows engagement broken down per file in the room. Use this to:

  • Find your strongest content — the page everyone lingers on.
  • Find your weakest content — the file viewers skip or drop off mid-way.
  • Plan your follow-up — when you write a "thanks for the time" email, reference the specific document they spent the most time on.

The "By viewer" tab#

Per-person view of how each viewer engaged. Click a viewer's name to see:

  • Time on each document and page.
  • Number of sessions and revisit dates.
  • Device, IP, and location.

This is the screen you actually open before sending a personalised email.

Signals worth acting on#

  • Revisits — the same viewer opening twice within a week is the strongest signal in the dashboard. Send a follow-up.
  • Deep linger on financials or pricing — they're qualifying you. Offer a call.
  • Drop-off mid-deck — your story stalled. Tighten the section or move it later.
  • Zero opens after 3 days — the email lost. Send a friendly nudge with the link inline.
