     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS EMBODIMENTS 
     Various embodiments of the present disclosure now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the disclosure are shown. Indeed, the disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. The term “or” is used herein in both the alternative and conjunctive sense, unless otherwise indicated. The terms “illustrative” and “exemplary” are used to be examples with no indication of quality level. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout. 
     Overview 
     Various embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to interactive analytics of group-based communication with an enterprise group-based communication system. The enterprise group-based communication system described in this disclosure comprises an enterprise group-based communication server and an enterprise group-based communication repository. 
     Analyzing the value, both technically and overall within an enterprise, of the deployment of an enterprise group-based communication system requires a tedious and thorough review of each and every electronic interaction occurring between the multiple client devices and an enterprise group-based communication system. Each and every electronic interaction must be recorded and stored in an enterprise group-based communication repository. Computational complexity and confusion is introduced when a computing system attempts to reasonably and correctly attribute the activities of (i.e., electronic interactions performed by) a client device associated with the same user profile to potentially multiple workspace accounts, including DM (i.e., direct messaging) and shared group-based communication channel activities, without double counting. The volume and ever changing nature of such enterprise interaction data leads to this computational complexity and introduces unacceptable latency when looking to analyze the use of an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     The inventors have identified that the system resources and time allocated to such analyses within the context of an enterprise group-based communication system are easily exhausted and compromised as a result of the complex design and storage needs of an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     Interactive analytics according to embodiments of the present disclosure enable automated and low latency analysis of deployment of enterprise group-based communication systems. Such automated and low latency analyses enable improvement of the enterprise group-based communication systems on all fronts. 
     Analysis of a deployment of an enterprise group-based communication system may provide answers to the following questions, among others:
         How much (e.g., volume, breadth, consistency, how often) electronic interaction is taking place between client devices within the enterprise and the enterprise group-based communication system?   How much of the electronic interactions taking place between client devices within the enterprise engaging with computing features provided by the enterprise group-based communication system?   Is the enterprise group-based communication system facilitating electronic communication transparency and electronic information sharing among those client devices within the enterprise?   Are there particular groups of client devices within the enterprise that are interacting more (e.g., have higher/lower engagement) with the enterprise group-based communication system? How can those particular groups be identified through the use of enterprise interaction data?   What are the most (and least) used shared enterprise group-based communication channels, and teams within the enterprise group-based communication system (i.e., by client devices within the enterprise)?   Can the enterprise interaction data illustrate whether or not educational initiatives regarding how client devices can interact with the enterprise group-based communication system working? Where is additional training needed?       

     Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a flexible design system for data visualization. In embodiments, a legible and highly customizable system is enabled for representing the complex amount of information necessary to make assessments as described herein. 
     Definitions 
     As used herein, the terms “data,” “content,” “digital content,” “digital content object,” “information,” and similar terms may be used interchangeably to refer to data capable of being transmitted, received, and/or stored in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. Thus, use of any such terms should not be taken to limit the spirit and scope of embodiments of the present disclosure. Further, where a computing device is described herein to receive data from another computing device, it will be appreciated that the data may be received directly from another computing device or may be received indirectly via one or more intermediary computing devices, such as, for example, one or more servers, relays, routers, network access points, base stations, hosts, and/or the like, sometimes referred to herein as a “network.” Similarly, where a computing device is described herein to send data to another computing device, it will be appreciated that the data may be sent directly to another computing device or may be sent indirectly via one or more intermediary computing devices, such as, for example, one or more servers, relays, routers, network access points, base stations, hosts, and/or the like. 
     The term “client device” refers to computer hardware and/or software that is configured to access a service made available by a server. The server is often (but not always) on another computer system, in which case the client device accesses the service by way of a network. Client devices may include, without limitation, smart phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, wearables, personal computers, enterprise computers, and the like. 
     “Group-based” is used herein to refer to a system, channel, message, or virtual environment that has security sufficient such that it is accessible only to a defined group of users. The group may be defined by common access credentials such as those of an organization or commercial enterprise. Access may further be facilitated by a validated request to join or an invitation to join transmitted by one group member user to another non-member user. Group identifiers (defined below) are used to associate data, information, messages, etc., with specific groups. 
     The term “group-based communication channel” refers to a virtual communications environment or feed that is configured to display messaging communications posted by channel members (e.g., validated users accessing the environment using client devices) that are viewable only to the members of the group. The format of the group-based communication channel may appear differently to different members of the group-based communication channel; however, the content of the group-based communication channel (i.e., messaging communications) will be displayed to each member of the group-based communication channel. For instance, a common set of group-based messaging communications will be displayed to each member of the respective group-based communication channel such that the content of the group-based communication channel (i.e., messaging communications) will not vary per member of the group-based communication channel. It will be appreciated that the term “enterprise group-based communication channel” is a group-based communication channel associated with a particular enterprise identifier. 
     The term “user” should be understood to refer to an individual, group of individuals, business, organization, and the like; the users referred to herein are accessing a group-based communication or messaging system using client devices. 
     The terms “user profile,” “user account,” and “user account details” refer to information associated with a user, including, for example, a user identifier, one or more group-based communication channel identifiers associated with enterprise group-based communication channels that the user has been granted access to, one or more group identifiers for groups with which the user is associated, an indication as to whether the user is an owner of any enterprise group-based communication channels, an indication as to whether the user has any group-based communication channel restrictions, a plurality of messages, a plurality of emojis, a plurality of conversations, a plurality of conversation topics, an avatar, an email address, a real name (e.g., John Doe), a username (e.g., jdoe), a password, a real name, a time zone, a status, and the like. The user account details can include a subset designation of user credentials, such as, for example, login information for the user including the user&#39;s username and password. 
     The terms “group-based communication channel identifier” or “channel identifier” refer to one or more items of data by which a group-based communication channel may be identified. For example, a group-based communication channel identifier may comprise ASCII text, a pointer, a memory address, and the like. 
     The terms “group identifier” or “team identifier” refer to one or more items of data by which a group within an enterprise group-based communication system may be identified. For example, a group identifier may comprise ASCII text, a pointer, a memory address, and the like. 
     As used herein, the terms “messaging communication” and “message” refer to any electronically generated digital content object provided by a user using a client device and that is configured for display within a group-based communication channel. Message communications may include any text, image, video, audio or combination thereof provided by a user (using a client device). For instance, the user may provide a messaging communication that includes text as well as an image and a video within the messaging communication as message contents. In such a case, the text, image, and video would comprise the messaging communication or digital content object. Each message sent or posted to a group-based communication channel of the enterprise group-based communication system includes metadata comprising the following: a sending user identifier, a message identifier, message contents, a group identifier, and a group-based communication channel identifier. Each of the foregoing identifiers may comprise ASCII text, a pointer, a memory address, and the like. 
     A “sending user identifier” is associated with a collection of messages that are sent by a particular user (i.e., a client device associated with the particular user). These messages may be analyzed to determine context regarding the user (e.g., the user&#39;s expertise or interest in a topic may be determined based on the frequency of mention of the topic or key words associated with the topic within such messages). 
     Enterprise group-based communication system users are organized into organization groups (e.g., employees of each company may be a separate organization group) and each organization group may have one or more enterprise group-based communication channels (explained below) to which users may be assigned or which the users may join (e.g., enterprise group-based communication channels may represent departments, geographic locations such as offices, product lines, user interests, topics, issues, and/or the like). A group identifier may be used to facilitate access control for a message (e.g., access to the message, such as having the message return as part of search results in response to a search query, may be restricted to those users having the group identifier associated with their user profile). The group identifier may be used to determine context for the message (e.g., a description of the group, such as the name of an organization and/or a brief description of the organization, may be associated with the group identifier). 
     Enterprise group-based communication system users may join enterprise group-based communication channels. Some enterprise group-based communication channels may be globally accessible to those users having a particular organizational group identifier associated with their user profile (i.e., users who are members of the organization). Access to some enterprise group-based communication channels may be restricted to members of specified groups, whereby the enterprise group-based communication channels are accessible to those users having a particular group identifier associated with their user profile. The group-based communication channel identifier may be used to facilitate access control for a message (e.g., access to the message, such as having the message return as part of search results in response to a search query, may be restricted to those users having the group-based communication channel identifier associated with their user profile, or who have the ability to join the group-based communication channel). The group-based communication channel identifier may be used to determine context for the message (e.g., a description of the group-based communication channel, such as a description of a project discussed in the group-based communication channel, may be associated with the group-based communication channel identifier). 
     The term “private group-based communication channel” refers to a group-based communication channel with restricted access such that it is not generally accessible and/or searchable by other members of the enterprise group-based communication system. For example, only those users or administrators who have knowledge of and permission to access (e.g., a group-based communication channel identifier for the private group-based communication channel is associated with their user profile after the user has been validated/authenticated) the private group-based communication channel may view content of the private group-based communication channel. 
     The term “public group-based communication channel” refers to a group-based communication channel without restricted access, such that is it generally accessible and/or searchable by other members of the enterprise group-based communication system. 
     The term “enterprise group-based communication system” refers to a networked electronic communications environment comprising an enterprise group-based communication repository and an enterprise group-based communication server that is configured to enable group-based collaborative communication between members of an enterprise. In some embodiments, the enterprise group-based communication system may be operated and instituted by a third-party. The enterprise group-based communication system has increased requirement for availability, scalability, performance, compatibility and security over non-enterprise networks (e.g., a home internet network) and may span multiple enterprises and allow cross collaboration between not only members of different groups within an enterprise or organization, but also collaboration between members and teams of multiple organizations or enterprises. 
     The term “enterprise” should be understood to refer to a company, organization and the like. These terms are used interchangeably throughout the disclosure. It will be appreciated that an “enterprise” or “organization” may be associated with an enterprise identifier or an organization identifier, respectively. 
     The term “channel creation request” refers to one or more items of data by which a user of an enterprise group-based communication system may request to create a group-based communication channel. The channel creation request may originate from a user&#39;s client device. The channel creation request comprises desired channel settings as well as an originator identifier. 
     The term “channel access request” refers to one or more items of data by which a client device of an enterprise group-based communication system may request access to a group-based communication channel via the group-based communication server. The channel access request comprises a group-based communication channel identifier. In some embodiments, the channel access request may further comprise a global identifier associated with the requesting client device, a user identifier associated with the requesting client device, and/or a group identifier associated with the requesting client device. 
     The term “invitation to join” refers to one or more items of data by which a client device of an enterprise group-based communication system may provide access (e.g., by sending a group identifier or group-based communication channel identifier) to a group-based communication channel or a group. The invitation to join may comprise a group-based communication channel identifier, a group identifier, a recipient&#39;s global identifier and/or a recipient&#39;s user identifier. 
     The term “originator identification” or “originator identifier” refers to one or more items of data by which the originator of a channel creation request or a channel access request may be identified. The originator identification may be an email address, user identifier, global identifier, an IP address, or any other type of information that can identify a requesting entity. In some embodiments the originator identification may include a group identifier, which may uniquely identify a group associated with the originator of the channel creation request or channel access request. 
     The term “user identification” or “user identifier” refers to one or more items data by which a user of a client device may be uniquely identified. In some embodiments, the user identification may be an email address, a unique identification string, an employee number, a social security number, a driver&#39;s license number, and the like. 
     The term “channel settings” refers to various defined or definable parameters of a group-based communication channel. The channel settings may comprise a channel type, a channel name string, and a channel purpose string. 
     A channel type refers to an indicator that informs a group-based communication server that the group-based communication channel is either public or private. 
     A channel name string refers to a data structure containing a string of alphanumerical characters for identifying a channel in non-technical terms. 
     A channel purpose string refers to a data structure containing a string of alphanumerical characters that indicates to a group-based communication server and/or a user a purpose of the group-based communications channel. In some examples, a channel purpose string may contain a channel purpose such as “to work on project Nucleus.” 
     Channel settings may also include a message retention window that indicates a period of network time during which messages associated with a group-based communication channel are retained within an enterprise group-based communication repository. Upon expiration of the period of network time (i.e., the message retention window), a message or file associated with the message retention window may be deleted from an enterprise group-based communication repository. 
     Channel settings may also include one or more of a group capacity and a user capacity that, when applicable, indicates the number of groups (or users) authorized to access the particular group-based communication channel; and, when applicable one or more group identifier values that indicate the group identifier(s) of one or more groups authorized to access the group-based communication channel. In some embodiments, if a user associated with a client device attempts to access a group-based communication channel and the user capacity has been reached, the client device may not be permitted to access the group-based communication channel. 
     Channel settings may also include one or more authorized third party resource identifiers that indicate to an enterprise group-based communication server which third party resources are authorized to be downloaded and/or otherwise accessed within the group-based communication channel. In embodiments, if a third party resource attempts to access a group-based communication channel and the third party resource is not associated with an authorized third party resource identifier, the third party resource may not be granted access to the group-based communication channel. 
     The term “third party resource” refers to a third party application that may be integrated in a group-based communication channel within an enterprise group-based communication system and may be accessed by a client device accessing the group-based communication channel. For example, a third party resource may be a Software as a Service (SaaS) product or an Application (App) product that is provided by a third party resource provider and integrated in an enterprise group-based communication system. In such an example, a client device accessing the enterprise group-based communication system may access the SaaS or App product via a group-based communication channel that a user of the client device is associated with. 
     The terms “group administrator,” “group admin” “team administrator,” “team admin,” “enterprise administrator,” or “organization administrator” refer to credentials or identifiers associated with user profile that indicate to an enterprise group-based communication server that a client device associated with the user profile may edit access control parameters (e.g. channel settings) of respective groups and enterprise group-based communication channels having identifiers associated with the user profile. In some embodiments, group administrators transmit channel creation requests to the enterprise group-based communication server to create enterprise group-based communication channels for a particular group. Users identified as group administrators may edit the access control rights to a group or group-based communication channel which the group is a part of. Group administrators may also add users to the group or group-based communication channel which the group is a part of or to invite users to a group or group-based communication channel which the group is a part of. The access control parameters editable by the group administrator may be limited by the settings set by a super administrator. 
     The term “super administrator” refers to an identifier associated with a user profile that indicates to an enterprise group-based communication server that a client device associated with the user profile may control, access, and modify any group-based communication channel (including private enterprise group-based communication channels) and modify enterprise settings. The super administrator may also assign group administrator rights to members of the organization. The super administrator may delegate rights to administrators and/or users. The super administrator may also be referred to as an organization owner. 
     The term “enterprise settings” refers to organizationally defined network parameters, protocols, keys, limits, and policies that enable or confirm specified availability, scalability, performance, compatibility and security levels for an enterprise group-based communication system. The enterprise settings authorize (whitelist) or deauthorize (or blacklist) groups to set group specific settings. The enterprise settings authorize (whitelist) or deauthorize (or blacklist) users to perform various actions within the enterprise group-based communication system. Enterprise settings span channel creation, messaging and file usage, invitations, emoji creation, app installs, user profiles and access modes. The enterprise settings regulate all enterprise group-based communication channels and all enterprise group-based communication channels for the respective organization must comply with the enterprise settings. 
     The term “group storage location” refers one or more storage locations in the enterprise group-based communication repository for storing messages that are a part of private-enterprise group-based communication channels. Each private group-based communication channel may have its own group storage location. Location within the definition of group storage location may refer to a physical location in memory where data is stored (e.g., a range of memory addresses) or to part of memory with distinct access control parameters. Access to the group storage location may be controlled by group identifiers. In one embodiment, the group storage location is nested inside of the enterprise storage location. For example, for a channel access request to the group storage location for the private-group-based communication channel entitled “Development Team only”, a group-based communication must receive (e.g., by querying the enterprise group-based communication repository) one or more group identifier(s) associated with the client device which generated the channel access request. Once the group-based communication has the group identifier(s), a comparison is performed to determine if there exists (for the user) a group identifier for the development team. If so, the user is allowed access to the “Development Team only” channel. 
     The term “global identifier” refers to one or more items of data by which a user or user&#39;s client device may be uniquely identified across the organization and the enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments where the enterprise group-based communication system spans multiple organizations the global identifier is unique across multiple organizations. The global identifier is a 64 bit unsigned integer that uniquely identifies a user. 
     The term “open team” group type refers to access control parameters that indicate to an enterprise group-based communication server that a client device may request a group identifier for that group to be stored in a user record. For example, if the “fun” group is an open team group type then a user may request the group identifier (for storage in his user record) of the “fun” group and the enterprise group-based communication server will store in the user&#39;s record the group identifier for the fun team. 
     The term “request to join a team” group type refers to access control parameters indicate to an enterprise group-based communication server that the group identifier for that group may only be obtained via a request to a group admin. For example, if the “fun” group is a request to join a team group type then when a user sends, to the group-based communication server, a request for the group identifier (for storage in his user record) the enterprise group-based communication server will deny the request and send a message to a client device of a group administrator. The group administrator after receiving this message from the enterprise group-based communication server may send the user an invitation to join the group (which includes the group identifier). Thus, unlike an open team group type the enterprise group-based communication server does not automatically grant the group identifier for the group. Instead the user must receive an invitation request for the group to obtain the group identifier for his user record. 
     The term “private team” group type refers to access control parameters that indicate to an enterprise group-based communication server that the group identifier for that group may only be obtained via an invitation to join. For example, if the “fun” group is a private team group type then when a user send a request for the group identifier (for storage in his use record) to an enterprise group-based communication server, the enterprise group-based communication server will block the request and not forward a message to a group administrator. In some embodiments, a private team group type will be considered not joinable, because access is only granted via invitation from the group administrator or super administrator. 
     The term “third party resource identifier” refers to one or more items of data that uniquely identify, to an enterprise group-based communications server, a third party resource. 
     The term “third party resource access request” refers to one or more items of data by which a client device may request a function from one or more installed third party resources or applications in a group-based communication channel. The third party resource access request may include a global identifier/user identifier and a third party resource identifier. The terms “third party resource” and “application” or “app” may be used interchangeably on occasion. 
     The term “members of the organization”, “users of the organization,” “members of the enterprise,” or “users of the enterprise,” and other like phrases refer to users of the enterprise group-based communication system that have global identifiers and/or user identifiers in their user profile. 
     The term “enterprise interaction data” refers to signals associated with interaction by client devices with an enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments, enterprise interaction data can be any of user account creations, direct message transmissions, enterprise group-based communication channels created, enterprise group-based communication channels joined, messages read, messages written, feature uses, emoji uses, cursor mark movements, files uploaded, files downloaded, group-based communication channel deletions, user account deletions, calls placed, teams joined, and teams created. 
     The term “interaction” refers to an identifiable, non-transitory occurrence that has technical significance for system hardware and/or software. For example, in a group-based communication channel, a message sent by a client device is an interaction. An interaction may be user-generated, such as keystrokes or mouse movements, or system-generated, such as program loading and errors. 
     The term “processed enterprise interaction data” refers to enterprise interaction data from which metadata has been extracted such that an enterprise interaction may be associated with other enterprise interaction data of the enterprise group-based communication system. Enterprise interaction data is considered unprocessed before having been processed for such metadata extraction and interaction associations. Examples of metadata extraction and interaction associations for use with embodiments of the present disclosure are disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/604,584, titled “MESSAGING SEARCH AND MANAGEMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS,” filed May 24, 2017, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/604,589, titled “MESSAGING SEARCH AND MANAGEMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS,” filed May 24, 2017, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/651,887, titled “MESSAGING SEARCH AND MANAGEMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS,” filed Jul. 17, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     The term “computational pipeline” refers to a set of data processing elements connected in series, where the output of one element is the input of the next one. In examples, the elements of a pipeline are executed in parallel or in time-sliced fashion; in that case, some amount of buffer storage is often inserted between elements. 
     The term “enterprise analytics processing job” refers to statistical processing and/or aggregation of structured enterprise interaction data. In embodiments, a plurality of enterprise analytics processing jobs must complete in a particular order before any enterprise analytics requests may be fulfilled by an enterprise group-based communication analytics system. In embodiments, enterprise analytics processing jobs include machine learning algorithms. 
     The term “dependency” refers to a reliance by a particular analytics processing job on another analytics processing job. For example, as used herein, a dependency exists between a first analytics processing job and a second analytics processing job when the second analytics processing job relies upon output from the first analytics processing job. In such an example, the first analytics processing job must complete before the second analytics processing job can begin. 
     The term “enterprise interaction data source” refers to a source of data from which enterprise interaction data is received. Examples of enterprise interaction data sources include servers, backup databases, and the like. The data from enterprise interaction data sources may be structured (conforming to a defined schema) or unstructured (not conforming to a defined schema). When the enterprise interaction data is not formatted according to a defined schema, various tools can be used to apply the defined schema to the data. Examples of such structuring tools include Spark® and Hive®. 
     The term “data retrieval engine” refers to a service or module that performs retrieval of enterprise interaction data, in an unstructured or structured format, from one or more enterprise interaction data sources and then persists the enterprise interaction data to an enterprise group-based communication analytics repository. Examples of data retrieval engines include database extraction tools, Kafka® and Secor®. Kafka® and Secor® are stateless tools. Kafka® is a distributed queue such that data is retrieved by or sent to the Kafka® engine and then read from the Kafka® engine by other tools. In examples, Kafka® aids in transporting data from enterprise interaction data sources to the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository. Secor® is an example of a tool that reads data from Kafka® and writes the data to files in the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository. 
     The term “ephemeral cluster” refers to a temporary cluster of data created from structured enterprise interaction data. For example, ephemeral clusters may be started so that a MapReduce infrastructure or other execution engines may be used to process enterprise analytics processing jobs. Examples of a MapReduce service or infrastructure include Elastic MapReduce (EMR) by Amazon®. In embodiments, EMR clusters are ephemeral in that data only persists within them temporarily in order to decouple where processing of data occurs with where the data is stored. EMR clusters may perform enterprise analytics processing jobs. MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating big data sets with a parallel, distributed algorithm on a cluster. In embodiments, a MapReduce program is composed of a Map( ) procedure (method) that performs filtering and sorting (such as sorting students by first name into queues, one queue for each name) and a Reduce( ) method that performs a summary operation (such as counting the number of students in each queue, yielding name frequencies). 
     The term “query engine” refers to a service or module that performs retrieval and processing of structured data from the enterprise group-based communication repository. In embodiments, a query engine may comprise a distributed SQL query engine optimized for interactive queries. In such an example, the query engine enables answers to ad-hoc questions with minimal turnaround time, as well as data assumption validations, smaller dataset exploration, and visualization creation. Examples of such a query engine is Presto®. 
     In some embodiments, a query engine may comprise a distributed dataset manager for dealing with larger datasets or longer time series enterprise interaction data. A distributed dataset manager may implicitly convert SQL-like queries into MapReduce jobs. Examples of such a query engine include Hive®. 
     In some embodiments, a query engine may comprise a data processing framework for writing batch and aggregation jobs. The data processing framework enables more efficient and robust batch and aggregation jobs because it can interpret a more expressive language, instead of SQL-like queries. Such a data processing framework may enable caching data in memory to make computations more efficient. Examples of such a query engine include Spark®. 
     The term “schema” refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the data is stored in an enterprise group-based communication analytics repository. In embodiments, to enable the use of multiple independent query engines for enterprise analytics processing jobs, the enterprise interaction data must be structured according to the same schema before being stored in the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository. In embodiments, the structured enterprise interaction data may be stored in columnar format. In some embodiments, a metastore may be used to provide the true schema required by the enterprise group-based communication analytics system. The metastore is desirable because of processing of data in multiple locations. In embodiments, the schema may be defined using Thrift®, which enables enforcement of a typed schema for the structured data. Files can be stored using Parquet® which formats and stores the data in a columnar format. Examples of a metastore include the Metastore provided by Hive® 
     The terms “structured data” and “structured enterprise interaction data” refer to enterprise interaction data that has been formatted according to a defined schema. The term “unstructured data” refers to enterprise interaction data that has not been formatted according to the defined schema, or has not been confirmed as being formatted according to the defined schema. 
     The term “analytics computational engine” refers to a computing engine for generating data structures for use by embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, an analytics computational module may retrieve processed structured data from an enterprise group-based communication analytics repository on a periodic basis (e.g., daily) to produce data structures for use by a computed data service to deliver enterprise analytics analyses for rendering on a user interface displayed on a client device. 
     The term “enterprise interaction data structure” refers to a data structure computed using processed enterprise interaction data. For example, an enterprise interaction data structure can be generated using data representative of aggregated enterprise interaction data for one of all user profiles of an enterprise group-based communication system, a single user profile of an enterprise group-based communication system, all enterprise group-based communication channels of an enterprise group-based communication system, a single enterprise group-based communication channel of an enterprise group-based communication system, all workspaces of an enterprise group-based communication system, a single workspaces of an enterprise group-based communication system, or an entire enterprise group-based communication system. It will be appreciated that the nature of the enterprise interaction data structures is apparent from the description of the computations and tables presented herein, and that any enterprise interaction data structure computed according to computations and tables presented herein is within the scope of the present disclosure. 
     The terms “computed data service,” “low latency data communication module” and “low latency data communications module” refer to a computing system that receives and processes enterprise analytics requests from client devices, delivering the enterprise analytics analyses back to the client devices with low latency as compared to the use of a larger combination of repositories and servers. The computed data service or low latency data communications module serves as an interface between a client device (e.g., the user interface displaying enterprise analytics analyses) and an enterprise group communication analytics repository and/or analytics computational engine. The computed data service or low latency data communications module may comprise a storage mechanism for storage of pre-computed enterprise interaction data structures (e.g., computed by an analytics computational module) for use in enterprise analytics analyses. 
     The terms “analytics serving module” and “analytics serving user interface” refer to an interface by which analytics requests may be initiated by client devices, and by which enterprise analytics analyses may be delivered to and displayed on client devices. 
     The terms “enterprise analytics request” and “requested subset” refers to an instruction or direction initiated by a computing device, usually a client device, for enterprise analytics analyses related to interactions between client devices and an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     The term “interactive analytics” refers to the nature of a display of analytics related to electronic interactions within an enterprise group-based communication system. The analytics are considered interactive in that the retrieved analytics and associated interfaces are customizable by a requesting client device. 
     The terms “enterprise analytics metric level” or “metric type” refer to a level of enterprise interaction data targeted by a query (i.e., enterprise analytics request). In embodiments, an enterprise analytics metric level is one of enterprise, team, group, channel, user, third party resource, feature, and workspace 
     The term “enterprise analytics visualization type” refers to a selection of how an enterprise analytics analysis in response to an enterprise analytics request shall be formatted for display on a client device. In embodiments, an enterprise analytics visualization type can be any of a line graph, a pie chart, a chart, a table, a word cloud, a graphic, a network graph, and a graph. 
     The term “enterprise analytics metrics” refer to metrics by which a client device wishes to analyze interaction data within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     The term “enterprise analytics analysis” refers to an analysis completed on an enterprise interaction data structure that is configured for display at a client device according to an enterprise analytics visualization type. For example, an enterprise analytics analysis may comprise instructions that, when executed on the client device, cause the display of an analysis associated with an enterprise interaction data structure according to how the client device requested that the analysis be formatted and retrieved. 
     The term “enterprise analytics analysis modify request” refers to an instruction or direction initiated by a computing device, usually a client device, for modification of any parameter of a previously received enterprise analytics analysis request. 
     The term “revised” refers to electronic modification. 
     The term “analysis identifier” refers to one or more items of data that uniquely identify, to an enterprise group-based communications server, a previously performed enterprise analytics analysis. 
     The term “persist” refers to storing data in computer data storage.

       FIG. 1  illustrates an example computing system  100  within which embodiments of the present disclosure may operate. Users may access an enterprise group-based communication system  105  via a communications network  104  using client devices  101 A- 101 N. The enterprise group-based communication system  105  may comprise an enterprise group-based communication server  106  in communication with at least one enterprise group-based communication repository  107 . 
     Communications network  104  may include any wired or wireless communication network including, for example, a wired or wireless local area network (LAN), personal area network (PAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), wide area network (WAN), or the like, as well as any hardware, software and/or firmware required to implement it (such as, e.g., network routers, etc.). For example, communications network  104  may include a cellular telephone, an 802.11, 802.16, 802.20, and/or WiMax network. Further, the communications network  104  may include a public network, such as the Internet, a private network, such as an intranet, or combinations thereof, and may utilize a variety of networking protocols now available or later developed including, but not limited to TCP/IP based networking protocols. For instance, the networking protocol may be customized to suit the needs of the enterprise group-based communication system. In some embodiments, the protocol is a custom protocol of JSON objects sent via a Websocket channel. In some embodiments, the protocol is JSON over RPC, JSON over REST/HTTP, and the like. 
     The enterprise group-based communication server  106  may be embodied as a computer or computers as known in the art. The enterprise group-based communication server  106  may provide for receiving of electronic data from various sources, including but not necessarily limited to the client devices  101 A- 101 N. For example, the enterprise group-based communication server  106  may be operable to receive and post or transmit group-based messaging communications provided by the client devices  101 A- 101 N. 
     The enterprise group-based communication repository  107  may be embodied as a data storage device such as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device or devices, or as a separate database server or servers. The enterprise group-based communication repository  107  includes information accessed and stored by the enterprise group-based communication server  106  to facilitate the operations of the enterprise group-based communication system  105 . For example, the enterprise group-based communication repository  107  may include, without limitation, a plurality of messaging communications organized among a plurality of enterprise group-based communication channels, and/or the like. 
     The client devices  101 A- 101 N may be any computing device as defined above. Electronic data received by the enterprise group-based communication server  106  from the client devices  101 A- 101 N may be provided in various forms and via various methods. For example, the client devices  101 A- 101 N may include desktop computers, laptop computers, smartphones, netbooks, tablet computers, wearables, and the like. 
     In embodiments where a client device  101 A- 101 N is a mobile device, such as a smart phone or tablet, the client device  101 A- 101 N may execute an “app” to interact with the enterprise group-based communication system  105 . Such apps are typically designed to execute on mobile devices, such as tablets or smartphones. For example, an app may be provided that executes on mobile device operating systems such as iOS®, Android®, or Windows®. These platforms typically provide frameworks that allow apps to communicate with one another and with particular hardware and software components of mobile devices. For example, the mobile operating systems named above each provide frameworks for interacting with location services circuitry, wired and wireless network interfaces, user contacts, and other applications. Communication with hardware and software modules executing outside of the app is typically provided via application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by the mobile device operating system. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the client device  101 A- 101 N may interact with the enterprise group-based communication system  105  via a web browser. As yet another example, the client device  101 A- 101 N may include various hardware or firmware designed to interface with the enterprise group-based communication system  105 . 
     In some embodiments of an exemplary enterprise group-based communication system  105 , a message or messaging communication may be sent from a client device  101 A- 101 N to an enterprise group-based communication system  105 . In various implementations, the message may be sent to the enterprise group-based communication system  105  over communications network  104  directly by a client device  101 A- 101 N, the message may be sent to the enterprise group-based communication system  105  via an intermediary such as a message server, and/or the like. For example, the client device  101 A- 101 N may be a desktop, a laptop, a tablet, a smartphone, and/or the like that is executing a client application (e.g., an enterprise group-based communication app). In one implementation, the message may include data such as a message identifier, sending user identifier, a group identifier, a group-based communication channel identifier, message contents (e.g., text, emojis, images, links), attachments (e.g., files), message hierarchy data (e.g., the message may be a reply to another message), third party metadata, and/or the like. In one embodiment, the client device  101 A- 101 N may provide the following example message, substantially in the form of a (Secure) Hypertext Transfer Protocol (“HTTP(S)”) POST message including eXtensible Markup Language (“XML”) formatted data, as provided below:

     The enterprise group-based communication system  105  comprises at least one enterprise group-based communication server  106  that may create a storage message based upon the received message to facilitate message indexing and storage in an enterprise group-based communication repository  107 . In one implementation, the storage message may include data such as a message identifier, a group identifier, a group-based communication channel identifier, a sending user identifier, topics, responses, message contents, attachments, message hierarchy data, third party metadata, conversation primitive data, and/or the like. For example, the group-based communication server  106  may provide the following example storage message, substantially in the form of a HTTP(S) POST message including XML-formatted data, as provided below:

     In embodiments, a group identifier as defined above may be associated with the message. 
     In embodiments, a group-based communication channel identifier as defined above may be associated with the message. 
     In embodiments, a sending user identifier as defined above may be associated with the message. In one implementation, the message may be parsed (e.g., using PHP commands) to determine a sending user identifier of the user who sent the message. 
     In embodiments, topics may be associated with the message. In one implementation, the message contents may be parsed (e.g., using PHP commands) to determine topics discussed in the message. For example, hashtags in the message may indicate topics associated with the message. In another example, the message may be analyzed (e.g., by itself, with other messages in a conversation primitive) or parsed using a machine learning technique, such as topic modeling, to determine topics associated with the message. 
     In embodiments, data indicating responses may be associated with the message. For example, responses to the message by other users may include reactions (e.g., selection of an emoji associated with the message, selection of a “like” button associated with the message), clicking on a hyperlink embedded in the message, replying to the message (e.g., posting a message to the enterprise group-based communication channel in response to the message), downloading a file associated with the message, sharing the message from one enterprise group-based communication channel to another enterprise group-based communication channel, pinning the message, starring the message, and/or the like. In one implementation, data regarding responses to the message by other users may be included with the message, and the message may be parsed (e.g., using PHP commands) to determine the responses. In another implementation, data regarding responses to the message may be retrieved from a database. For example, data regarding responses to the message may be retrieved via a MySQL database command similar to the following: 
     
       
         
           
               
               
             
               
                   
                   
               
             
            
               
                   
                 SELECT messageResponses 
               
               
                   
                 FROM MSM_Message 
               
               
                   
                 WHERE messageID = ID_message_10. 
               
               
                   
                   
               
            
           
         
       
     
     For example, data regarding responses to the message may be used to determine context for the message (e.g., a social score for the message from the perspective of some user). In another example, data regarding responses to the message may be analyzed to determine context regarding the user (e.g., the user&#39;s expertise in a topic may be determined based on the responses to the user&#39;s message regarding the topic). 
     In embodiments, attachments may be included with the message. If there are attachments, files may be associated with the message. In one implementation, the message may be parsed (e.g., using PHP commands) to determine file names of the attachments. For example, file contents may be analyzed to determine context for the message (e.g., a patent policy document may indicate that the message is associated with the topic “patents”). 
     In embodiments, third party metadata may be associated with the message. For example, third party metadata may provide additional context regarding the message or the user that is specific to a company, group, group-based communication channel, and/or the like. In one implementation, the message may be parsed (e.g., using PHP commands) to determine third party metadata. For example, third party metadata may indicate whether the user who sent the message is an authorized representative of the group-based communication channel (e.g., an authorized representative may be authorized by the company to respond to questions in the enterprise group-based communication channel). 
     In embodiments, a conversation primitive may be associated with the message. In one implementation, a conversation primitive is an element used to analyze, index, store, and/or the like messages. For example, the message may be analyzed by itself, and may form its own conversation primitive. In another example, the message may be analyzed along with other messages that make up a conversation, and the messages that make up the conversation may form a conversation primitive. In one implementation, the conversation primitive may be determined as the message, a specified number (e.g., two) of preceding messages and a specified number (e.g., two) of following messages. In another implementation, the conversation primitive may be determined based on analysis of topics discussed in the message and other messages (e.g., in the channel) and/or proximity (e.g., message send order proximity, message send time proximity) of these messages. 
     In embodiments, various metadata, determined as described above, and/or the contents of the message may be used to index the message (e.g., using the conversation primitive) to facilitate various facets of searching (i.e., search queries that return results from enterprise group-based communication repository  107 ). In one implementation, a storage message may be sent from enterprise group-based communication server  106  to facilitate indexing in enterprise group-based communication repository  107 . In another implementation, metadata associated with the message may be determined and the message may be indexed in enterprise group-based communication repository  107 . In one embodiment, the message may be indexed such that a company&#39;s or a group&#39;s messages are indexed separately (e.g., in a separate index associated with the group and/or company that is not shared with other groups and/or companies). In one implementation, messages may be indexed at a separate distributed repository (e.g., to facilitate data isolation for security purposes). 
     If there are attachments associated with the message, file contents of the associated files may be used to index such files in enterprise group-based communication repository  107  to facilitate searching. In one embodiment, the files may be indexed such that a company&#39;s or a group&#39;s files are indexed at a separate distributed repository.

     Example Processes for Interactive Analytics within an Enterprise Group-Based Communication System 
     In embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of query engines have access to an enterprise group-based communication analytics repository such that each query engine may retrieve unprocessed enterprise interaction data from the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository as well as write processed enterprise interaction data to the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository. 
     Retrieval, Management, and Storage of Enterprise Interaction Data 
       FIG. 3  illustrates an exemplary enterprise group-based communication analytics system  300  for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, an enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301  is in communication, via a communications network (not shown), with an enterprise group-based communication analytics server  302 . While not shown directly in  FIG. 3 , the functions performed by other components within  FIG. 3  may be performed by or within an enterprise group-based communication analytics server  302 . 
     In  FIG. 3 , the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301  is in communication, via a communications network (not shown), with a plurality of data retrieval engines  302 A- 302 B. 
     In embodiments, the plurality of data retrieval engines  302 A- 302 B retrieve unprocessed enterprise interaction data from one or more enterprise interaction data sources  303 A,  303 B,  303 C. Data retrieval engines  302 A- 302 B retrieve unprocessed enterprise interaction data from enterprise interaction data sources  303 A- 303 C and transmit the unprocessed enterprise interaction data for storage in enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301  and ultimately further processing. 
     In some embodiments, a first data retrieval engine  302 A comprises a scalable, append-only message log that utilizes a service for persisting a message log on to the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301 . In some embodiments, a second data retrieval engine  302 B comprises a database extraction (i.e., scraping) tool that extracts database backup data and exports it as a table of unprocessed enterprise interaction data to the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301 . In some embodiments, the first data retrieval engine  302 A extracts unprocessed enterprise interaction data from data source  303 A and data source  303 B, while the second data retrieval engine  302 B extracts unprocessed enterprise interaction data from data source  303 C. Examples of a first and second data retrieval engine  302 A,  302 B include Kafka® and Secor®. 
     In embodiments, the enterprise group-based communication analytics system  300  may include a variety of modules to analyze messages received by an enterprise group-based communication system (e.g., depicted in  FIG. 1 ). Such modules may include a metadata determining process (e.g., to determine and/or facilitate indexing of message contents and/or metadata), a message aggregating process (e.g., to collect and/or forward messages for further analysis), a ranking process (e.g., to facilitate ranking for a variety of applications), and/or the like. The enterprise group-based communication analytics system  300  may facilitate indexing message contents and/or metadata (e.g., team, channel, user, topics, responses, files, third party metadata). 
     In embodiments, the enterprise group-based communication analytics system  300  may include a variety of modules to analyze the unprocessed enterprise interaction data. In one implementation, such modules may include a work graph generating process (e.g., to generate work graphs (e.g., machine learning structured input data such as a channel&#39;s priority for a user)), a machine learning process (e.g., to generate other machine learning structure input data (e.g., team-level term priority), to generate machine learning structures (e.g., team-level neural networks)), and/or the like. For example, the enterprise group-based communication analytics system  300  may utilize tools such as Apache Hive®, Presto®, Apache Spark®, and/or the like to facilitate analyzing the unstructured or structured data. 
     In some embodiments, ephemeral clusters are created from the unprocessed enterprise interaction data stored in the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301 . For example, ephemeral clusters may be started so that a MapReduce infrastructure or other execution engines may be used to process the unprocessed enterprise interaction data. Examples of a MapReduce service or infrastructure include Elastic MapReduce (EMR) by Amazon®. In embodiments, EMR clusters are ephemeral in that data only persists within them temporarily in order to decouple where processing of data occurs with where the data is stored. EMR clusters may perform enterprise analytics processing jobs. 
     In embodiments, a plurality of query engines  304 A,  304 B,  304 C can retrieve unprocessed enterprise interaction data from the enterprise group-based communication repository  301  as well as write processed enterprise interaction data to the enterprise group-based communication repository  301 . 
     In some embodiments, a first query engine  304 A comprises a distributed SQL query engine optimized for interactive queries. First query engine  304 A enables answers to ad-hoc questions with minimal turnaround time, as well as data assumption validations, smaller dataset exploration, and visualization creation. Examples of a first query engine  304 A include Presto®. 
     In some embodiments, a second query engine  304 B comprises a distributed dataset manager for dealing with larger datasets or longer time series enterprise interaction data. A distributed dataset manager may implicitly convert SQL-like queries into MapReduce jobs. Examples of a second query engine  304 B include Hive®. 
     In some embodiments, a third query engine  304 C comprises a data processing framework for writing batch and aggregation jobs. The data processing framework enables more efficient and robust batch and aggregation jobs because it can interpret a more expressive language, instead of SQL-like queries. Such a data processing framework may enable caching data in memory to make computations more efficient. Examples of a third query engine  304 C include Spark®. 
     In some embodiments, an analytics computational engine  305  retrieves processed enterprise interaction data from enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301  to produce enterprise interaction data structures necessary for enterprise analytics analyses. Upon completion of all enterprise interaction data structures necessary, analytics computational engine  305  provides the enterprise interaction data structures to a low latency data communication module (also referred to herein as a computed data service)  306 . The low latency data communication module  306  receives enterprise analytics requests from an analytics serving module or user interface  307  at a client device, processes them, and returns enterprise analytics analyses to the analytics serving module or user interface  307 . 
       FIGS. 4A and 4B  illustrate exemplary schema for structuring unstructured enterprise interaction data and for storing the structured data, according to embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, unstructured enterprise interaction data must be structured before being stored in the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301 . To bind all of the query engines together, the enterprise group-based communication analytics system  300  enforces a typed schema for structured data. The structured data may be stored in columnar format. In some embodiments, a metastore may be used to provide the true schema required by the enterprise group-based communication analytics system. The metastore is desirable because of processing of data in multiple locations. 
     For example, the structured data may be defined using Thrift®, which enables enforcement of a typed schema for the structured data. Files can be stored using Parquet® which formats and stores the data in a columnar format. In such an example, the plurality of query engines  304 A- 304 C preferably support Parquet which provides many advantages around query and space efficiency. The metastore can be the Metastore provided by Hive®. 
     In embodiments, the first and second query engines  304 A- 304 B (e.g., Presto, Hive) have connectors that allow them to access the metastore to read tables. In embodiments, the third query engine (e.g., Spark) enables a plurality of processing pipelines that dynamically add partitions and modifies the schema as the structured data evolves. 
     Computing and Serving Enterprise Group Based Communication System Analytics 
       FIGS. 5A-1 and 5A-2  illustrates an enterprise interaction analytics scheduling graph, according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Graph  500  illustrates dependencies between sets of analytics processing jobs. As used herein, a dependency exists between a first analytics processing job and a second analytics processing job when the second analytics processing job relies upon output from the first analytics processing job. In such an example, the first analytics processing job must complete before the second analytics processing job can begin. 
     For example and referring to  FIGS. 5A-1 and 5A-2 , before analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  510  can begin, those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  505  must complete. Similarly, before the analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  505  can begin, those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  501  must complete. As such, those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  501  can be considered dependencies of those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  505 , as the analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  505  are dependent upon them. Similarly, those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  505  can be considered dependencies those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  510 , as the analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  510  depend on them. Not only are those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  505  dependencies of those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  510 , but those analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  501  are also dependencies of the analytics processing jobs of the analytics processing jobs in the box labeled  510 . Finally, the analytics processing job  515  is dependent upon all of the analytics processing jobs in the boxes labeled  501 ,  505 , and  510 . As such, the analytics processing jobs in the boxes labeled  501 ,  505 , and  510  must be completed in that order before the analytics processing job  515  can begin and complete. 
     In embodiments, processed enterprise analytics data contained within the enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  301  is used for the enterprise analytics processing jobs described herein. It will be appreciated that the enterprise analytics processing jobs are implemented, in embodiments, as a series of pipelines used to compute metrics at different levels (e.g., user, channel, team, enterprise, organization). 
     In embodiments, once the enterprise analytics processing jobs depicted in  FIGS. 5A-1 and 5A-2  are completed (i.e., a series of tables or other enterprise interaction data structures are delivered), a series of polishing jobs may perform additional filtering and prepare the output of the enterprise analytics processing jobs for serving of data with low latency. 
       FIG. 5B  illustrates an exemplary enterprise analytics processing pipeline. It will be appreciated that the arrows represent dependencies between enterprise analytics processing jobs. In embodiments, an activity_stats job  524  must complete before either of the channel_stats job  512  and user_stats job  526  can begin. Carrying on, the channel_stats job  512  must complete before the public_channel_stats job  514  can begin. The user_stats job  516  must complete before the enterprise_user_stats job  520  can begin. The team_stats job  518  is dependent upon the completion of the activity_stats job  524 , the channel_stats job  512  (which is dependent upon the completion of activity_stats  524 ), and the enterprise_user_stats job  520 . Finally, the enterprise_stats job  522  is dependent upon the completion of the team_stats job  518  and the activity_stats job  524 . In embodiments, each of the enterprise analytics processing jobs described herein is run on a periodic basis (e.g., daily). It will be appreciated that the enterprise analytics processing jobs discussed herein are exemplary, and that other enterprise analytics processing jobs performing in accordance with embodiments herein are within the scope of the present disclosure. 
       FIG. 5C  illustrates an exemplary enterprise analytics computation flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, an enterprise analytics computation flow  550  begins with retrieval of processed enterprise interaction data  551  from, for example, an enterprise group-based communication analytics repository. In embodiments, an analytics computational module retrieves the processed enterprise interaction data. 
     In embodiments, flow  550  continues with identifying dependencies  552  that exist between enterprise analytics processing jobs. In embodiments, identifying dependencies  552  comprises defining a dependency graph. For example, a tool such as Airflow® may be used to define the dependency graph. 
     In embodiments, flow  550  continues with resolving the dependencies  553 . In embodiments, resolving the dependencies  553  is accomplished by arranging an order of the enterprise analytics processing jobs according to the dependencies. In embodiments, the dependency graph aids in assigning specified times or chronology to enterprise analytics processing jobs. In such embodiments, a tool such as Airflow® may mark an enterprise analytics processing job complete so that a subsequent enterprise analytics processing job may begin. It will be appreciated that Airflow® is an example of a dependency identification and resolution tool that may be used with embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it will be appreciated that any dependency identification and resolution tool that performs the necessary functions described herein may be used without departing from the scope of the disclosure. 
     In embodiments, flow  550  continues with computing enterprise interaction data structures  554  using the analytics processing jobs. Examples of enterprise interaction data structure computations are illustrated in  FIG. 5D  and  FIGS. 6A-6F . 
       FIG. 5D  illustrates an exemplary enterprise interaction data structure computation process for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, process  554  begins with extracting processed enterprise interaction data from an enterprise group-based communication analytics repository  561 . 
     Process  554  continues with generating any data structures  562  necessary for computing the enterprise interaction data structure. Process  554  continues with retrieving relevant existing data structures  563  necessary for computing the enterprise interaction data structure. 
     It will be appreciated that data structures used in process  554  are selected according to the desired resulting enterprise interaction data structure. For example, if a data structure contains a list of messages transmitted by all users of a group-based communication system/service (represented by user_id) and the desired resulting enterprise interaction data structure should only contain an indication of how many messages were transmitted by those users who are humans and how many messages were transmitted by those users who are bots, the list of messages must be joined with a different data structure that maps user_id to user type. 
     Process  554  continues with iteratively joining  564  data structures with relevant existing data structures to reduce the processed enterprise interaction data down to what is necessary for the desired enterprise interaction data structure. In embodiments, the reduced structured data is also grouped according to desired parameters (e.g., group-based communication channel identifier, user identifier, and the like). Any unwanted data from the desired enterprise interaction data structure is also filtered out. 
     Process  554  continues with transferring the finalized enterprise interaction data structures to a low latency data communication module  565 . 
       FIG. 6A  illustrates an exemplary analytics processing job flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, an activity_stats data structure is generated for all enterprise interaction data representing activities (e.g., electronic transactions) within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, a flow  600  begins with creating a data structure  601 . In embodiments, the data structure may be indicative of activity statistics for a particular network time period (e.g., yyyy_MM_dd). An example schema of the data structure is shown in Table 1. 
     In embodiments, a context is extracted  602  for each electronic transaction. In embodiments, examples of contexts include a channel identifier, a user identifier, or a team identifier. In embodiments, electronic transactions include writing a message, reading a message, sending a message. 
     In embodiments, flow  600  continues with determining a frequency of each electronic transaction in each context  603 . In embodiments, flow  600  continues with determining a performer (or user type) of each electronic transaction as well as a frequency for the performer  604 . In examples, a performer may be a bot or a human (utilizing a client device). 
     In embodiments, flow  600  continues with generating, using the extracted data, statistics across multiple metric types. In examples, metric types include user, channel, team, enterprise, and organization.

       FIG. 6B  illustrates an exemplary analytics processing job flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, a user_stats data structure is generated for all enterprise interaction data statistics for all users of an enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments, the enterprise interaction data statistics are statistics representing electronic transactions made by users of client devices within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, a flow  610  begins with creating two data structures  611 . In embodiments, the two data structures include structured data representative of all user identifiers within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, flow  610  continues with joining the two data structures with the activity_stats data structure  612  to obtain activities (e.g., electronic transactions) associated with all users of the enterprise group-based communication system over a period of network time. In embodiments, this joining is done using only the metric type user. 
     In embodiments, flow  610  continues with joining  613  the data structure resulting from the join in step  612  is with a data structure containing all time activities associated with all user identifiers of the enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, flow  610  continues with joining the data structure resulting from the join in step  613  with a data structure containing enterprise attributes associated with each user identifier of the enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, flow  610  continues with filtering out, from the data structure resulting from the join in step  614 , any structured data related to deleted user identifiers. As such, the resulting data structure is the desired user_stats data structure. 
     An exemplary schema for the user_stats data structure is shown in Table 3.

       FIG. 6C  illustrates an exemplary analytics processing job flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, an enterprise_user_stats data structure is generated for all enterprise interaction data statistics for each user of an enterprise group-based communication system by counting all activities (e.g., electronic transactions) associated with the user identifier across workspaces within the enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments, the enterprise interaction data statistics are statistics representing electronic transactions made by the user of client devices within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, a flow  630  begins with creating a data structures  631 . In embodiments, the data structure includes structured data representative of all user identifiers within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, flow  630  continues with joining the data structure with the existing user_stats data structure  632  (which includes all workplace level statistics) and then join the resulting data structure with an existing data structure  633  to collect all workspace identifiers associated with the user identifier. 
     In embodiments, flow  630  continues with grouping the resulting data from the join in step  633  by the desired parameter. In this example, the desired parameter is enterprise_user_id, which is an enterprise user identifier associated with the user. 
     Unwanted data is filtered out  635 , and the enterprise_user_stats data structure is complete. 
     An example schema for the enterprise_user_stats data structure is depicted in Table 4.

       FIG. 6D  illustrates an exemplary analytics processing job flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, a channel_stats data structure is generated for all enterprise interaction data statistics for each public group-based communication channels of an enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments, the enterprise interaction data statistics are statistics representing electronic transactions made by users of client devices within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, a flow  640  begins with creating a data structure  641  by retrieving structured data including channel identifiers for all undeleted and public group-based communication channels from an existing data structure (e.g., teams_channels). 
     In embodiments, flow  640  continues with joining the data structure  642  with an existing data structure activity_stats including all enterprise interaction data representing activities (e.g., electronic transactions) within the enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments, the data structure is joined with the existing activity_stats data structure using a desired metric. In this example, the desired metric type is channel. The resulting data structure from step  642  includes channel activities for desired periods of network time (e.g., 1 day, 30 day, 90 day). 
     In embodiments, flow  640  continues with joining the resulting data structure from the join in step  642  with an existing data structure (sqooper_channel_stats) representing all activities associated with group-based communication channels of the enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, flow  640  continues with joining  644  the resulting data structure from the join in step  643  with an existing data structure (sqoop_channel_members) to determine how many members and guests are associated with a channel identifier. 
     In embodiments, flow  640  continues with joining  645  the resulting data structure from the join in step  644  with an existing data structure representing all user identifiers within the enterprise group-based communication system to determine which user identifiers associated with the channel identifier are bots. 
     In embodiments, flow  640  continues with joining  646  the resulting data structure from the join in step  645  with an existing data structure representing team or group identifiers associated with channel identifiers within the enterprise group-based communication system to determine what group identifiers are associated with the channel identifier. 
     As such, the channel_stats data structure is generated. An example schema for the channel_stats data structure is depicted in Table 5. 
     Optionally, flow  640  continues with filtering the channel_stats data structure to remove any private or sensitive information  647 . As such, a public_channel_stats data structure is created.

       FIG. 6E  illustrates an exemplary analytics processing job flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, a team_stats data structure is generated for all enterprise interaction data statistics for each group or team of an enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments, the enterprise interaction data statistics are statistics representing electronic transactions made by users of client devices within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, a flow  650  begins with creating a data structure  651  representing all information related to all teams within the enterprise group-based communication system (e.g., name, domain, etc.). 
     In embodiments, flow  650  continues with joining the data structure  652  with an existing data structure activity_stats including all enterprise interaction data representing activities (e.g., electronic transactions) within the enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments, the data structure is joined with the existing activity_stats data structure using a desired metric. In this example, the desired metric type is team. The resulting data structure from step  652  includes team activities for desired periods of network time (e.g., 1 day, 30 day, 90 day). 
     In embodiments, flow  650  continues with joining  653  the resulting data structure from the join in step  652  with an existing data structure (sqooper_team_stats) representing all activities associated with team identifiers or group identifiers of the enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, flow  650  continues with joining  654  the resulting data structure from the join in step  653  with an existing data structure (user_aux_next) to determine a count of guest user identifiers associated with the team identifier or group identifier. 
     In embodiments, flow  650  continues with joining  655  the resulting data structure from the join in step  654  with an existing data structure (customer_channel_stats) to determine a count of channel identifiers associated with the team identifier or group identifier. 
     In embodiments, flow  650  continues with joining  656  the resulting data structure from the join in step  655  with an existing data structure (teams_channels_shared) to determine a count of channel identifiers of shared group-based communication channels associated with the team identifier or group identifier. 
     In embodiments, flow  650  continues with joining  657  the resulting data structure from the join in step  656  with an existing services data structure to determine a count of third party resources (e.g., applications) associated with the team identifier or group identifier. 
     In embodiments, flow  650  continues with filtering out  658  data associated with deleted team identifiers or group identifiers. As such, the team_stats data structure is generated. 
     An example schema for the team_stats data structure is depicted in Table 6.

       FIG. 6F  illustrates an exemplary analytics processing job flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, an enterprise_stats data structure is generated for all enterprise interaction data statistics for each enterprise (e.g., having an enterprise identifier) within an enterprise group-based communication system. In embodiments, the enterprise interaction data statistics are statistics representing electronic transactions made by users of client devices within an enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, a flow  660  begins with creating a data structure  661  representing all information related to all teams within the enterprise group-based communication system, including an enterprise identifier with which each team is associated (e.g., name, domain, enterprise_id, etc.). 
     In embodiments, flow  660  continues with joining  662  the data structure with an existing data structure (user_aux_next) to determine a count of guest user identifiers and billable user identifiers associated with each enterprise identifiers within the enterprise group-based communication system. 
     In embodiments, flow  660  continues with joining  663  the resulting data structure from the join in step  662  with an existing data structure (customer_team_stats) representing all activities associated with team identifiers or group identifiers associated with the enterprise identifier. 
     In embodiments, flow  660  continues with joining  664  the resulting data structure from the join in step  663  with an existing data structure (activity_stats) using a desired metric (e.g., enterprise or organization) to obtain data representative of activities for teams associated with the enterprise identifier for desired periods of network time (e.g., 1 day, 30 day, 90 day). 
     In embodiments, flow  660  continues with grouping  665  the data within the resulting data structure from the filtering in step  664  by a desired parameter. In this example, the desired parameter is enterprise_id. As such, the enterprise_stats data structure is generated. 
     An example schema for the enterprise_stats data structure is depicted in Table 7.

       FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 8  illustrate an exemplary enterprise analytics publishing flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, a set of pipelines reads the data structures created as depicted in  FIGS. 6A-6F , performs filtering and transformations, and publishes the enterprise analytics data so that a low latency data communication module/system can serve the enterprise analytics upon request. 
     In embodiments, an exemplary graph  700  depicts the enterprise analytics publishing flow  800  that is depicted in  FIG. 8 . In embodiments, an enterprise analytics publishing flow  800  begins with waiting for a signal indicating that the necessary data structures are complete and available  801 . This can be seen in the column within box  701  in  FIGS. 7A-7B . 
     In embodiments, flow  800  continues with starting pipelines that read and publish  802  the data structures for use by a computed data service (CDS or low latency data communication module). This can be seen in the column within box  702  in  FIGS. 7A-7B . In embodiments, the computed data service allows for serving enterprise analytics data with low latency. In embodiments, the computed data service may be based on an open source project such as Quiver®. In embodiments, the computed data service performs checks to ensure the enterprise analytics data is available and no file or data structure size limits have been exceeded. In embodiments, the pipelines that read and publish the data structures can be implemented using Spark® and written in Scala®. 
     In embodiments, flow  800  continues with serving  803  by the computed data service, the requested enterprise analytics data. In embodiments, serving the requested enterprise analytics data  803  comprises retrieving a relevant data structure  804 , filtering the retrieved data structure to extract a requested subset of enterprise analytics data  805 , and returning the requested subset of enterprise analytics data  806  to a requesting device. 
       FIG. 9A  illustrates an enterprise analytics serving flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, a subset of enterprise analytics statistics can be returned for a given user identifier. In embodiments, the flow  900  for returning a subset of enterprise analytics statistics for a given user identifier begins with reading data from the user_stats data structure defined above  901 . In embodiments, flow  900  continues with filtering out data from the user_stats data structure that is related to bots (i.e., has an is_bot column set to true)  902 . In embodiments, flow  900  continues with returning the subset of enterprise analytics statistics for the given user identifier by creating an object containing the subset to serve and render for display on a client device  903 . Examples of enterprise analytics statistics that can be served for a given user identifier are depicted in Table 8. 
     In embodiments, the enterprise analytics statistics for a given user identifier are sortable. In such embodiments, the subset of enterprise analytics statistics is created to be queriably in ascending/descending order based on a dimension. Examples of metrics that are sortable are depicted in Table 9.

       FIG. 9B  illustrates an enterprise analytics serving flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, a subset of enterprise analytics statistics can be returned for a given enterprise user identifier. In embodiments, the flow  910  for returning a subset of enterprise analytics statistics for a given enterprise user identifier begins with reading data from the enterprise_user_stats data structure defined above  911 . In embodiments, flow  910  continues with filtering out data from the user_stats data structure that is related to bots (i.e., has an is_bot column set to true)  912 . In embodiments, flow  910  continues with returning the subset of enterprise analytics statistics for the given enterprise user identifier by creating an object containing the subset to serve and render for display on a client device  913 . Examples of enterprise analytics statistics that can be served for a given enterprise user identifier are depicted in Table 10. 
     In embodiments, the enterprise analytics statistics for a given enterprise user identifier are sortable. In such embodiments, the subset of enterprise analytics statistics is created to be queriably in ascending/descending order based on a dimension. Examples of metrics that are sortable are depicted in Table 11.

In embodiments, a subset of enterprise analytics statistics can be returned for a given channel identifier. In embodiments, the flow  920  for returning a subset of enterprise analytics statistics for a given channel identifier begins with reading data from the channel_stats data structure defined above  921 . In embodiments, flow  920  continues with filtering out data from the channel_stats data structure that is marked as archived  922 . For example, a record may have a date_archived parameter that is not empty. In embodiments, flow  920  continues with returning the subset of enterprise analytics statistics for the given channel identifier by creating an object containing the subset to serve and render for display on a client device  923 . Examples of enterprise analytics statistics that can be served for a given channel identifier are depicted in Table 12. 
     In embodiments, the enterprise analytics statistics for a given channel identifier are sortable. In such embodiments, the subset of enterprise analytics statistics is created to be queriably in ascending/descending order based on a dimension. Examples of metrics that are sortable are depicted in Table 13.

       FIG. 9D  illustrates an enterprise analytics serving flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, a subset of enterprise analytics statistics can be returned for a given team or group identifier. In embodiments, the flow  930  for returning a subset of enterprise analytics statistics for a given team or group identifier begins with reading data from the team_stats data structure defined above  931 . In embodiments, flow  930  continues with filtering out data from the team_stats data structure that is not associated with an enterprise identifier  932 . In embodiments, flow  930  continues with returning the subset of enterprise analytics statistics for the given team or group identifier by creating an object containing the subset to serve and render for display on a client device  933 . Examples of enterprise analytics statistics that can be served for a given team or group identifier are depicted in Table 14. 
     In embodiments, the enterprise analytics statistics for a given team or group identifier are sortable. In such embodiments, the subset of enterprise analytics statistics is created to be queriably in ascending/descending order based on a dimension. Examples of metrics that are sortable are depicted in Table 15.

       FIG. 9E  illustrates an enterprise analytics serving flow for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. In embodiments, a subset of enterprise analytics statistics can be returned for a given team or group identifier for a given time window (e.g., a network time window may have a start date and an end date). In embodiments, the given time window may be defined by a start date yyyy-MM-dd and an end date yyyy-MM-dd. In embodiments, the flow  940  for returning a subset of enterprise analytics statistics for a given team or group identifier for a given time window begins with reading data from the team_stats data structure defined above  941 . In embodiments, flow  940  continues with filtering out data from the team_stats data structure that is not associated with an enterprise identifier  942 . In embodiments, flow  940  continues with returning the subset of enterprise analytics statistics for the given team or group identifier for the given time window by creating an object containing the subset to serve and render for display on a client device  943 . Examples of enterprise analytics statistics that can be served for a given team or group identifier for a given time window are depicted in Table 16. 
     In embodiments, an object containing a partial subset of the enterprise analytics statistics for the given team or group identifier for the given time window (e.g., data may already exist for the time window with the exception of one new day of data). In such an example, the object is read and the new data is appended to it.

     Additional Implementation Details 
     Although an example processing system has been described in  FIG. 2 , implementations of the subject matter and the functional operations described herein can be implemented in other types of digital electronic circuitry, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed in this specification and their structural equivalents, or in combinations of one or more of them. 
     Embodiments of the subject matter and the operations described herein can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed in this specification and their structural equivalents, or in combinations of one or more of them. Embodiments of the subject matter described herein can be implemented as one or more computer programs, i.e., one or more modules of computer program instructions, encoded on computer storage medium for execution by, or to control the operation of, information/data processing apparatus. Alternatively, or in addition, the program instructions can be encoded on an artificially-generated propagated signal, e.g., a machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signal, which is generated to encode information/data for transmission to suitable receiver apparatus for execution by an information/data processing apparatus. A computer storage medium can be, or be included in, a computer-readable storage device, a computer-readable storage substrate, a random or serial access memory array or device, or a combination of one or more of them. Moreover, while a computer storage medium is not a propagated signal, a computer storage medium can be a source or destination of computer program instructions encoded in an artificially-generated propagated signal. The computer storage medium can also be, or be included in, one or more separate physical components or media (e.g., multiple CDs, disks, or other storage devices). 
     The operations described herein can be implemented as operations performed by an information/data processing apparatus on information/data stored on one or more computer-readable storage devices or received from other sources. 
     The term “data processing apparatus” encompasses all kinds of apparatus, devices, and machines for processing data, including by way of example a programmable processor, a computer, a system on a chip, or multiple ones, or combinations, of the foregoing. The apparatus can include special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit). The apparatus can also include, in addition to hardware, code that creates an execution environment for the computer program in question, e.g., code that constitutes processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, a cross-platform runtime environment, a virtual machine, or a combination of one or more of them. The apparatus and execution environment can realize various different computing model infrastructures, such as web services, distributed computing and grid computing infrastructures. 
     A computer program (also known as a program, software, software application, script, or code) can be written in any form of programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, declarative or procedural languages, and it can be deployed in any form, including as a stand-alone program or as a module, component, subroutine, object, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program may, but need not, correspond to a file in a file system. A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or information/data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more modules, sub-programs, or portions of code). A computer program can be deployed to be executed on one computer or on multiple computers that are located at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network. 
     The processes and logic flows described herein can be performed by one or more programmable processors executing one or more computer programs to perform actions by operating on input information/data and generating output. Processors suitable for the execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of any kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and information/data from a read-only memory or a random access memory or both. The essential elements of a computer are a processor for performing actions in accordance with instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive information/data from or transfer information/data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks. However, a computer need not have such devices. Devices suitable for storing computer program instructions and information/data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media and memory devices, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and CD-ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The processor and the memory can be supplemented by, or incorporated in, special purpose logic circuitry. 
     To provide for interaction with a user, embodiments of the subject matter described herein can be implemented on a computer having a display device, e.g., a CRT (cathode ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor, for displaying information/data to the user and a keyboard and a pointing device, e.g., a mouse or a trackball, by which the user can provide input to the computer. Other kinds of devices can be used to provide for interaction with a user as well; for example, feedback provided to the user can be any form of sensory feedback, e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, or tactile feedback; and input from the user can be received in any form, including acoustic, speech, or tactile input. In addition, a computer can interact with a user by sending documents to and receiving documents from a device that is used by the user; for example, by sending web pages to a web browser on a user&#39;s client device in response to requests received from the web browser. 
     Embodiments of the subject matter described herein can be implemented in a computing system that includes a back-end component, e.g., as an information/data server, or that includes a middleware component, e.g., an application server, or that includes a front-end component, e.g., a client computer having a graphical user interface or a web browser through which a user can interact with an implementation of the subject matter described herein, or any combination of one or more such back-end, middleware, or front-end components. The components of the system can be interconnected by any form or medium of digital information/data communication, e.g., a communication network. Examples of communication networks include a local area network (“LAN”) and a wide area network (“WAN”), an inter-network (e.g., the Internet), and peer-to-peer networks (e.g., ad hoc peer-to-peer networks). 
     The computing system can include clients and servers. A client and server are generally remote from each other and typically interact through a communication network. The relationship of client and server arises by virtue of computer programs running on the respective computers and having a client-server relationship to each other. In some embodiments, a server transmits information/data (e.g., an HTML page) to a client device (e.g., for purposes of displaying information/data to and receiving user input from a user interacting with the client device). Information/data generated at the client device (e.g., a result of the user interaction) can be received from the client device at the server. 
     While this specification contains many specific implementation details, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of any disclosures or of what may be claimed, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular embodiments of particular disclosures. Certain features that are described herein in the context of separate embodiments can also be implemented in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single embodiment can also be implemented in multiple embodiments separately or in any suitable subcombination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination can in some cases be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination may be directed to a subcombination or variation of a subcombination. 
     Similarly, while operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the embodiments described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all embodiments, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products. 
     Thus, particular embodiments of the subject matter have been described. Other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims. In some cases, the actions recited in the claims can be performed in a different order and still achieve desirable results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying figures do not necessarily require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. In certain implementations, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. 
     CONCLUSION 
     Many modifications and other embodiments of the disclosures set forth herein will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which these disclosures pertain having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the disclosures are not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and that modifications and other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims. Although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
