# Email in Performance Analytics

Use Performance Analytics to track the health of your email audience and performance.

You can view information about your email messaging in Dashboards, Looks, and the Engagement [Explore](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#pa_explore).

## Dashboards and Looks

You can access multiple Dashboards and a standalone Look in the Shared folder. Go to **Reports**, then **Performance Analytics**, then the folder icon (
), then **Shared**, then **Email**.

The standalone look, Campaign Activity Report, displays raw data, including sends, opens, clicks, and bounce metrics for your campaigns over the last seven days.

    <td>Recent deliverability rates: opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribes, and spam complaints.<p>This Dashboard reports metrics by domain, which can help you pinpoint deliverability issues with your various email domains. High or increasing open and click rates may indicate high quality messages and an engaged audience, and a sudden, dramatic drop can indicate deliverability issues. Declining or steadily-low bounce, unsubscribe, and spam complaint rates indicate healthy deliverability. If these rates increase, you should investigate a deliverability issue with your email domain.</p></td>
