From Numbers to Context
Performance data is most useful when it tells you where you stand, not just what happened. The redesigned Analytics Dashboard adds category benchmarks, specification activity trends, and firm-level engagement—so you can see how your products are performing relative to the market, and where to focus next.
Before: 300 product clicks.
Now: 300 product clicks, 40% above category average, in a product type with rising global specification activity.
The Result: You spend less time interpreting raw data and more time acting on it.
Paired with our upcoming Search enhancements, the new Analytics Dashboard gives manufacturers more ways to increase visibility and measure what's working.
What's New
Product Type Intelligence
See how your products perform within their category—not just in isolation.
For the first time, your analytics include category-level benchmarks. See how engagement on your products compares to broader market activity, which of your product types are gaining traction, and where there's room to grow.
Market Activity Insights
Understand demand trends across your product categories.
Your performance data now includes category-level engagement trends—so you can see how market demand is shifting, which product types are seeing increased activity, and how your presence tracks against broader patterns on CADdetails.
Enhanced Firm Intelligence
Quickly identify which design firms are engaging with your products.
New trend indicators show at a glance whether a firm's activity is ✨New.

Design Firm KPI
See how many firms are engaging—not just individual users.
The new Design Firm KPI (Key Performance Indicator) adds organizational context to your engagement data. Alongside individual user activity, you can now see how many firms are interacting with your products, giving you a clearer picture of your reach across the AEC community.
Built to Surface Insights Faster
Less time interpreting data, more time acting on it.
The redesigned dashboard improves visual hierarchy, simplifies reporting, and puts key metrics within faster reach—so the data you need is easier to find and easier to use.
Additional Improvements
Multi-Metric Trend Analysis
Plot multiple KPIs on the same graph to see how performance metrics relate and move over time.
Overview Snapshots
Access highlights from Product Type Intelligence and Firm Intelligence directly from the Overview tab.
Search & Filter Signals
See which keywords and filters are driving product discovery within specific product categories.
Design Hub Analytics
The Design Hub Analytics dashboard is getting a visual refresh: cleaner layouts, clearer navigation, and a smoother way to find what you need. This is a design update only—no data is changing.
What This Means for Your Scheduled Exports
Because the layout is changing, you may need to update any scheduled exports built around specific dashboard elements. If your export pulls from a section that's been repositioned or restyled, you'll want to re-map it once the redesign goes live. Need help? Don't hesitate to reach out to your Client Success Manager.
