EngageOne ® Inform release 5.0.0 highlights
EngageOne® Inform is available in the US only**
On-demand availability

Data manager - Home page data visualization
Upon logging in to Inform Data Manager, you'll be presented with a new, fully interactive Mailing Summary dashboard.
Each view (or chart) answers a different question:
- How many mailpieces delivered each day?
- How long has the mail travelled?
- About how accurate is my mailing list (requires Address Change Service data)?
- How much mail has delivered to each area and how long did it take?
Taken together, the different views in the Mailing Summary dashboard allow you to quickly see, understand, and act on the performance of your recent mailings.
Not enough detail shown in each view? You can also export the data (using the "…") for further exploration and analysis.
For mailings using Address Change Service (ACS), the second tab of the dashboard shows details on the volume of mail that did not arrive as addressed.
Advanced job search capability
The Mailing Summary dashboard allows you to select which job you need to review. But if you have more than a few jobs, the drop list can be difficult to sort through. The advanced search adds extended search capabilities for your jobs with the following options:
- Organization Name
- Mailing Name
- Mailing Date
Refer to the EngageOne™ Inform User's Guide for detailed information.
Start the clock information using Informed Visibility
This release uses Start the Clock data from Informed Visibility to provide the most up to date information.
Generic data feed
Unlike the on-premise version of Inform (4.2.x), Inform On-Demand (5.0) does not allow for direct access to the Data Manager database. With this release, you can now access that data through daily extracts in CSV format for each of the following:
- Outbound mailpiece tracking
- Inbound mailpiece tracking
- ACS-Change of Address
- ACS-Nixie
Details on the available fields can be found on the Inform support page. Contact our Professional Services team for access to the extracts or to create custom extracts tailor-fit for your projects.

Once you've had a chance to dig into the new dashboard, let us know what you think!
