Access the Metrics for a Skill

You can access Measure for a skill from two places:

  • In the list of skills in the console, click the Measure link in the row for the skill.
  • When you open a skill to view or edit, click Measure in the top navigation.

The specific metrics available on the Measure page depend on the interaction model for your skill.

  • The Summary section displays a high-level overview of the metrics available for the skill.
  • Use the controls at the top to change the time range.
  • Use the Aggregation Period option to change how the data is grouped (every 15 minutes, hourly, daily, or weekly).
  • Switch between language models with the language drop-down list in the upper left.
  • Switch between development and live versions of the skill with the Skill Stage drop-down list.
  • Drill into detailed charts and data with the sections in the sidebar, such as Customers to see a chart showing the number of unique customers who have accessed the skill. Within these detailed sections, you can view the data as either a chart or grid. You can also export the chart as a graphic and download the data as a CSV.

You can jump directly to the Measure page for other skills with the Jump to measure for list. Note that this list includes skills that you have not yet migrated to the developer console. You can see the Measure page for these skills, but you cannot edit them in the new console. If you want to edit the skill in the new console, return to your list of skills and migrate the skill to the developer console.
