Agency narrative reports let you completely automate client reporting. What makes Jess different is your report is configured to include an interpretation of the results alongside charts and graphs.
Enable Narrative Report
To enable Narrative Reports for clients, access the admin menu in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Click Customer. In the Add-Ons section, click the check box next to Narrative Reports. Your monthly fee for this service is prominently displayed there for your reference.
Select Users to Receive the Report
Narrative reports can be sent on demand or automatically on the first day of of the month. To set up automatic notifications, access the admin menu in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Click Notifications. Select the check box under Summary to send the reports to users. If Summary is not available, you haven’t enabled narrative reports and you will need to do this from the Customer screen.
Set up Narrative Report
To set up a report, click Narrative Reports next to the client. You’ll need to set up variables, select what to include in the report, and generate the report.
Report Variables
This section lets you specify what you would like to include in each report segment.
Source of Conversions
The report includes the ability to include information about conversions. It can use conversion data from Google Analytics. If you choose that option, it will use Google Goal completion data. If you are using Jess form or phone tracking add ons, you will most likely want to choose Jess. This will let you include individual leads in your report.
Account Manager Name
Enter the account manager’s or agency’s name if you want to include it in your report.
First Paragraph Text Block and Last Paragraph Text Block
These blocks are included before or after individual report segments, respectively. They come pre-populated with default text. You can enter your own text as well as include variables. The list of available variables and their definition is included at the bottom of the screen. To use a variable, enclose the variable in *| |* (asterisk pipe), for example *|ReportPeriod|*.

Like the First and Last Paragraph text blocks, they come pre-populated with default text. You can enter your own text as well as include variables which you will find at the bottom of the screen. Remember to enclose variables in *| |* – for example *|Source|*.
