# Performance Analytics Labs Dashboard

The Labs dashboard provides early access to reports Airship is evaluating to enhance your data analytics experience.

Go to the [Performance Analytics](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#pa) Labs [Dashboard](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#pa_dashboard) for valuable insights and to provide feedback before the new reports are officially released. [Looks](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#pa_look) are provided under topical headings. Select the link under each Look to access a Dashboard containing additional related Looks. Each Dashboard contains a survey link.

This initial release contains a Contacts Dashboard to help you analyze metrics at the [Contact](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#contact) level. You can view the number of Contacts and channels in your project over time, as well as the distribution between known and anonymous Contacts, platforms, and channels associated with a [Named User](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#named_user).

Additional content included in Labs today focuses on:

* **NPS** — Analyze the feedback of NPS surveys, with a breakdown of responses by platform, version, opt-in status, and behaviors. You can also view user feedback for the survey.
* **Goals** — These Dashboards provide more detailed reporting on possible out-of-the-box [Goals](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#goals):
   * **App Opens** — View how app opens have progressed over time, the number of recent app sessions compared to the last seven and 30 days, and counts of your monthly, weekly, and daily active users.
   * **Web Sessions** — View how web sessions have progressed over time, the number of recent web sessions compared to the last seven and 30 days, and counts of your monthly and daily unique visitors.
   * **Retention** — Monitor activation and retention rates for your app audience, identifying where usage drop-off commonly occurs so you can build programs to improve retention rates.
