Intelligence Reports for Engagement is the reporting tool in Marketing Cloud Engagement for email, push, and journey data at the campaign level. Pivot tables let you slice that data into custom views without writing SQL. Scheduled reports deliver the results on a set schedule to people or storage locations.
Core information
  • You open Intelligence Reports from the Analytics Builder menu in Marketing Cloud, and your account needs the Intelligence Reports for Engagement user role. The standard version is included in Pro editions and higher, and it includes dashboards, pivot tables, and reports.
More details and nuances
  • Permissions decide who can do what. Any of the three permissions (Access, View & Export; Schedule; Create & Edit) lets a user create and export pivot tables, but only Create & Edit lets a user save, edit, or delete them. Creating reports and scheduling exports needs Schedule or Create & Edit.
