Insights
The Insights dashboard displays an overview of how Raffle Search performs on a platform, with statistics based on usage data collected from site users. Read more about Raffle Insights on our website.
Data Clusters
Clusters have been created as a folder structure to give customers the possibility of exploring data (per Search UI) on different levels.
User entries in the Trending Questions and Knowledge Gaps lists are clustered according to relevance meaning that a question has to be related to other questions in order to be part of a cluster and displayed on the list.
The cluster titles are based on the most common topics of a group, taking into account all data Raffle has collected. Simply put, if a Search UI has been live for a year, the titles are then based on all the data for the whole year. This also means that some titles may include words that are not present in the questions searched for the selected timeframe.
Note
Usage and search data are processed as soon as the Search UI has been implemented on a platform. But keep in mind that sufficient time and traffic are needed in order to view relevant data on the Insights dashboard.
After at least two weeks of going live with Raffle Search, a Key Account Manager would reach out to call for a meeting in order to discuss the items listed on the Raffle Web App dashboard.

Total Sessions
Total Sessions is the total number of search sessions made with Raffle Search since being implemented on a platform.
Resolution Rate
Total Resolution Rate is the total percentage of how well Raffle performs in resolving search inquiries.
Support Channels
The Support Channels section displays the percentage and breakdown of Customer Support option usages for users who asked questions and opted to contact Customer Service on the chance that they did not find what they were looking for.
These search sessions are considered unresolved, and are calculated based on the number of questions routed to support, divided by the total number of sessions for a specific period of time.

Support Channels
Resolution Over Time
Resolution over time displays the total number of sessions that have been resolved versus the number of sessions that were considered unresolved for a specific period of time.

Resolutions Over Time
Resolved Session
A search session is considered resolved if a user performs a search and decides to either click a result or leave the Search UI, with the assumption that the user found what they were looking for without requiring any further action.
Unresolved Session
A search session is considered NOT resolved if a user performs a search and then tries to contact Customer Service from the Search UI, with the assumption that they did not find what they were looking for and are now opting for further CS interaction.
Distribution of Sessions
Distribution of sessions displays the average number of unique sessions for a specific period of time.
A session is a 10-minute window that captures and collects user actions such as searching, clicking on answers, contacting support, etc.
Each search session is started when a user starts interacting with the Search UI on a page and expires after 10 minutes. This limit is meant to capture searches that are likely related (e.g. refining a search after each try). This means that:
- If the same user performs another search after 10 minutes, even without leaving the site, this is then counted as another session
- If a user moves to another page, that is counted as a new session since the Search UI is newly loaded when launched

Distribution of Sessions
