Views
There are 3 views for this data:
Summary: an overview of the data up to the previous completed week (current week will show 0), by practice. This view is built on the top of the weekly view and therefore a one-to-one match with the monthly view is impossible. When including the current week in your filters, please note that the data is partial and subject to change
By Week: an overview of the data by week, including the current week. The week is intended for Sunday to Saturday. When viewing the current week, please note that the data is partial and subject to change
By Month: an overview of the data by month, including the current month. When viewing the current month, please note that the data is partial and subject to change
The data in the views change as you change the filters.
Pay particular attention to:
The date filter:
If you select an end date that falls within the past week, both the Summary and the By Week views will show data up until the end of the selected week
If you select an end date that falls within the past month, the By Month view will show data up until the end of the selected month
The number of batches:
A batch is shown in the totals for the week or month where its first message has been sent, but not all messages in a batch are necessarily counted in the same period. This is because some messages in a batch may be staggered and sent later on. There could therefore be cases where a batch message is counted in a week with no corresponding batch. A batch is considered "sent" even if it was cancelled, as long as at least one message from the batch was sent
Accubook & Self-Book by month:
Patients have 7 days to book the appointment before the link expires, there are cases where the link was sent in one month but the patient booked in a different month. Therefore in some months, there might be more bookings than links sent
We only have a by-month split therefore response data is only added to the summary and by month views

Is the dashboard live?
The raw data in the dashboard is updated daily so that means that any numbers/stats you are seeing, are refreshed daily.
The only part of the dashboard that is updated less frequently than that is the graph on the ‘Adoption Trends’ > ‘Summary’ tab. This is updated at the end of every month to show you visually how adoption has changed over the past month.
How do I flag any outdated/incorrect data in the dashboard?
The data that we use to populate the dashboard is data that we receive monthly from NHS Digital.
If for example a practice closes and you don’t see this reflected in the dashboard straight away, this is because we will wait to receive the updated dataset from NHS Digital each month so that we are sustainably updating the data, from a centralised source of information.
If for any reason there are any discrepancies that you spot in the data, please do let your relevant Account Manager know.
What does it mean if a practice has ‘adopted’ a feature in the dashboard?
If a practice is shown as having ‘adopted’ a feature in the Adoption tab of the dashboard, this means that the practice has used that particular feature in question, within the last 28 days.
If the practice hasn’t used the feature within the last 28 days, they won’t be classified as actively using the feature and therefore will not show up as having adopted the feature. Where a practice hasn’t adopted a feature, this is an indicator that they may need more time and support to fully embed that feature into their normal ways of working.
Why do some practices have access to features that the ICS hasn’t procured?
In the Adoption tab > Adoption Summary, you may see that some practices have access to features that haven’t been procured by the commissioning body. There could be a number of reasons for this but if you do have any queries, do let your Account Manager know and they will be able to confirm the exact reason for you:
A practice is currently on a free trial of a particular feature
The feature has been procured directly by the practice, PCN or Federation, outside of the STP/ICS contract
The practice may be part of a testing/pilot scheme with our product team and user researchers
