Account Reset Guide

Just like spring cleaning, sometimes your HockeyStack account needs to be swept out and reset. Account reset may be needed for many reasons. If you’re experiencing one of the following, it may be time for to shake things out:

• You can’t find the report you need, when you need it, even though you’ve built it multiple times

• You have a whole new exec team

• Your core KPIs have changed

Below is the HockeyStack Team’s recommended process to audit and reset your account.

1. Create a list of your KPIs

   1. Follow this guide: https://docs.hockeystack.com/hockeystack-academy/102-implementation-guide/step-3-create-your-kpi-goals#block-3e4b7875827a44ed8a17cc79149bdda2

2. Create a list of CRM properties needed

   1. HockeyStack ingests all of the CRM properties that it has permission for. We want to group these properties into 2 groups

      1. Properties we need for reporting

      2. Properties we don’t need and will just confused everyone else in the system

3. Hide all non-defined properties that are not needed for reporting

10. Build a Business Overview Dashboard and compare your KPIs to the source reports from your CRM that you referenced for your HockeyStack KPI definitions

    1. Follow this Guide: https://www.notion.so/hockeystack/Business-Overview-Dashboard-b33cef6a17e34535ae2c92ce5224218e

    2. When comparing your KPIs to your source reports, select a date range in the past like, last quarter or last month

11. Delete goals that are not or should not be used

    1. If they are being used somewhere, do the excruciating work of deleting where they are used and then delete the goal

12. Goals should be pulled from defined properties wherever possible

    1. Goals built from defined properties are linked to the defined property mapping. If the defined property mapping is updated, the goal will also update, and every report that the goal is used in will update. It is best practice to build goals from defined properties to minimize the number of places you need to update when a definition changes.
