Overview
Fluent Embedded Analytics puts dashboards and individual metric tiles inside your Fluent web apps, on the page where the work happens. A user sees the number that matters without leaving the screen they are already working on.It is built for monitoring in context: four reference dashboards covering Orders, Fulfillments, Inventory, and Returns, plus the ability to place any single metric on any page. Metrics come from the Fluent Metrics Library.Key points
- Dashboards and metric tiles are rendered natively inside your Fluent web apps
- Four reference dashboards are available: Orders, Fulfillments, Inventory, and Returns
- Individual metrics can be placed on any page, next to the operational data they describe
- A builder controls the layout, which metrics appear, and which filters a user sees
- Filter selections are held in the page URL, so a filtered view can be shared or bookmarked
- Access is controlled by the
`ANALYTICS_VIEW`permission combined with roles defined per metric - Fluent Analytics must be enabled by Fluent Expert Services before any of it is available
Reference Dashboards
Fluent ships a reference solution that adds an Analytics section to your web app navigation, containing four dashboards:| Dashboard | What it covers |
| Orders | Order volume, value, and processing exceptions |
| Fulfillments | Fulfillment operations from assignment to completion |
| Inventory | Inventory levels, movement, and coverage across locations and products |
| Returns | Return patterns, causes, and rates |
The reference solution is a starting point rather than a fixed product. A builder can add metrics, remove them, change the layout, or set different default filters to match how your teams work. See Configuring Fluent Embedded Analytics.
Contextual metrics
A single metric can be placed on any page in a Fluent web app, independent of the four dashboards. The metric sits beside the records it describes, so the number and the work are on one screen.Examples of where a single metric earns its place:- Daily order volume and revenue on an order search page
- Inventory coverage days on an inventory management page
- Total Failed Fulfillments in Fluent Store
Access
Which dashboards and metrics you can see depends on your assigned roles and permissions. If you cannot see a dashboard or metric you expect, contact your administrator.For the permission model and the roles used by the reference solution, see Roles & Permissions for Embedded Analytics.When to use Fluent Embedded Analytics
Use it when you want to:- Monitor performance as part of daily work, without switching applications
- Put a number in front of the person making the decision, on the page where they make it
- Give different teams different views of the same metrics, scoped by role
- Control exactly which metrics appear and how the page is laid out
