Introduction
Reporting metrics and dimensions in Sprinklr are tools used to measure the success of social media campaigns and strategies.
Metrics are numerical measurements that quantify performance, such as engagement rate, reach, and impressions. They help businesses understand how well their content is performing and how their audience is interacting with it. Other metrics can be around operational efficiencies like Task count, Campaign Count, etc.
Dimensions, on the other hand, provide context to the metrics by categorizing them into specific groups, such as channels, campaigns, and regions. They help businesses understand how different factors are influencing their performance.
