Audit trails
Audit Logs are your key to swift and precise oversight. Get a snapshot of all activities done by users across chats and channels at a glance, you can dive in for more details if required as well.
Usage reports
Communication tools get their effectiveness from how actively people use them. Admins can measure adoption rates and look at the number of hours spent on different interactions with usage reports. The usage reports will also give admins a clear picture of the organization's interactions, and how everyone uses Cliq. Armed with these insights, admins can refine and enhance communication.
