The engagement report brings in all the touchpoints across your organization into a single feed. Based on what is valuable to your alumni and what matters to your organization, you should be categorizing these touchpoints.
How to categorize?
Step 1:
Click on the "+" icon beside the touchpoint.
Step 2:
You can either select one or more among the default categories or add your own by clicking on the "+" icon on the following screen.
How do I know what categories to add?
CASE recommends that engagement is categorized into 4 buckets:
1. Experiential
2. Voluntary
3. Philanthropic
4. Communication
You can visit the CASE whitepaper for more details on how these categories are defined.
While these defaults are available on your engagement report, you don't have to limit yourself to using these categories.
You can label engagement touchpoints in any manner that makes sense for your organization, like Webinars, Continuous Education, Campus Activity, and more.
Remember to create categories that help you identify what meaningful engagement is for your mission.
