Getting Started With Medialytics
Before creating an account in Medialytics, it is always best to determine if you are the first person to register for Medialytics from your organization.
Creating a new account
In order to begin using Medialytics, you must first register for an account.
Medialytics can be accessed by going directly to the Medialytics.com site or by clicking on the Medialyitcs button in the top right corner of the Medialets.com website. In the center of the page, you should click on Create an Account. It's free! to begin the signup process.
Once you've registered, you will receive an activation email to confirm your account.
Creating a new account through invitation
Team admins have the ability to invite new members to their team. If the user does not have an existing Medialytics account, following the link in the invitation email will bring them directly to the Medialytics.com sign in page. In the center of the page, you should click on Create an Account. It's free! to begin the signup process.
Once you've registered, you will receive an activation email to confirm your account.
Medialytics Teams
To make Medialytics as versatile as possible, we've established a "team" system that will allow you to have greater flexibility with your information.
Accounts created on their own will have a team name auto-generated from the Company Name field in the registration process. Accounts created through a team invitation will have access to the team that sent them the invitation.
By default, a Team Admin is the first member to create the team, however they can provide admin access to other members.
Each app registered through Medialytics is assigned to a team at creation. Teams allow users to share access to apps created under that team with users that they have invited. Users have the ability to join multiple teams while keeping information regarding their other teams private.
Inviting new team members
To invite a new team member to an existing team, you must have admin privileges enabled.
- Select "Your Account" from the top navigation bar.
- Select "Manage Teams" from the left navigation bar.
- Select the proper "Team Name" from the list.
- Select "Invite a New Member" at the bottom of the "Team Member" list.
- Enter their email address and click send.
If the user does not have an existing Medialytics account, following the link in the invitation email will bring them directly to the Medialytics.com sign in page. If they do have an existing Medialytics account, logging in to their account after clicking the link will give them access to your team information.
Adding an application
Before adding an App, please make sure that the App has not already been added to an existing team that you are a part of. Once you've confirmed that the App does not already exist, confirm which team you would like the app to belong to.
To add an App:
- Select "Manage Your Apps" from the top navigation bar.
- Select "Create New Application" from the left navigation bar.
- Fill out all the required fields.
Finding Your AppID
Your AppID is generated upon registering your new application.
To view the AppID for a specific App, select the proper App from "Manage Your Apps" in the top navigation bar.
Using Medialytics
Medialytics is comprised of three main areas accessed by the top navigation bar. This section will detail out each area to help you better navigate through it.
App Reports
App Overview
This is the landing page when you enter the App Reports are of Medialytics. App Overview provides you with a paragraph that you can easily use for a quick reporting overview.
The following is the template that your data will be listed in:
Since tracking began on <start date>, your apps have <x> total users and <x> total sessions. On average, your apps have had <x> unique users/day that each ran the app about <x> sessions/day. That makes about <x> total sessions/day. Users have an average <x> minutes <x> seconds session length. Since the last time you signed in (<x> days ago) <x> new users have installed your apps.
App Users
In this tab, you will find two charts, one for Active Users (Unique Users) and one for New Users.
You can select which app you'd like to view the data for in the drop down menu next to Show App on the App Users toolbar. All apps available to you from all teams are displayed in the drop down menu, making it easy for you to select the specific app you would like more details on.
After you've selected the app, the drop down menu to the right allows you to select between three different display ranges: Today, Last Week, or Last Month. Please note: All of your data tracked through Medialytics is still available and will soon be available for you to access by date range in the near future.
In the top right of each chart is a download button that will export that data for the app and selected period you are viewing into a .csv file for your personal reporting needs.
App Usage
App Usage provides details for Total Runs and App Usage for any app you select over a given period of time.
You can select which app you'd like to view the data for in the drop down menu next to Show App on the App Users toolbar. All apps available to you from all teams are displayed in the drop down menu, making it easy for you to select the specific app you would like more details on.

App Usage provides you with statistics for App Runs, App Runtime, Active Users (Unique Users), and New Users. These statistics are presented as both total for the selected period and as an average per day over from the total of that selected period.
In the top right of each area is a download button that will export that data for the app and selected period you are viewing into a .csv file for your personal reporting needs.
Manage Your Apps
The main part of this page provides you with a list of all of the apps you have access to based on what teams you're associated with. Up to ten apps are listed on each page, with their App Name, Team Name, Latest Version, Total Installed Clients (to date), a link to App Usage for that specific app, and a Delete function.
On the left hand navigation bar of Manage Your Apps there are two options for you to select from: Create New Application and SDK Downloads.
Create New Application
Before adding an App, please make sure that the App has not already been added to an existing team that you are a part of. Once you've confirmed that the App does not already exist, confirm which team you would like the app to belong to.
This area of Medialytics will guide you through the steps of adding an app to whichever team you so chose. All starred fields on this page are required.
SDK Downloads
Once you've registered your app, you'll need to download one of our SDKs.
All SDK's available to the Teams you belong to will be visible on this page. Please download the latest version of the SDK you're interested in and begin integrating it into your app.
App Details
Clicking on the name of any app in the Manage Your Apps list will bring you to an App Details page. On that page you will find the following details: AppID, Team, App Version, Platform, Website, Category, Tags, Description, and Price.
If you are a Team Admin for the team associated with this app, you will have the ability to edit most of this information by clicking the link under price on this page.
Your Account
This section will allow you to view and edit your personal information as well as team information.
Once you've entered Your Account, you will be presented with your username and a readout of all the information you entered during the registration process. At any time, you can edit some of the information listed here by clicking the "edit" link under all of your information.
On the left navigation bar, there are two options: Manage Teams and Change Password.
Manage Teams
In Manage Teams, you're presented with a list of all the teams you're associated with, including a clickable Team Name, Team Type, Team Members, Member Since, and the options to Invite someone to your team or Delete your team.
Clicking on the team name provides you with a list of all the members, their email address, the ability to remove them from the list, and for Team Admins, the ability to turn their admin privileges on or off. Clicking on a team members name will bring you to their Account Details page. Users cannot edit other users information.
To the right of that, there is a list of all the apps associated with that team and the latest version of that app. Clicking on an app name will bring you to the App Details page for that specific app.
