  2. Select the desired Dashboard. The report contents are refreshed. 

Working with Dashboards

The features and options available when working within a Dashboard are described below

 Apply a Filter

Dashboards utilize a default Filter that limits the data presented in the report to a more meaningful size and scope. The current Filter settings are displayed within an expandable panel near the top of the Dashboard. From this panel, you can define your own Filter settings. 

  1. Navigate to the desired Theme and Dashboard as described above.

  2. Expand the Filter panel.

  3. Enter or select the desired Filter settings. 

  4. To add an additional Filter rule, click the Add button (plus-sign icon). Multiple rules are joined by an OR operator. 

  5. Click run. The report contents are refreshed.

 

 Select a Metric or Key Performance Indicator (KPI)

Click hereClick here

Some of the Dashboards within a Theme include additional levels of reporting that let you interact with the report contents, and define exactly what you want to see. In this manner, you can select what metric (or KPI) you want to analyze, by what demographic attribute. For example, you could choose to view "Clicks by Age Group."

  1. Navigate to the desired Theme and Dashboard as described above.

  2. The available KPIs are displayed in a horizontal row above the report. Beneath each KPI, the platform displays an up or down arrow, along with a number indicating how much this metric has changed from the previous reporting period. This feature lets you quickly view how your key metrics are trending. Select the desired KPI. The report contents are refreshed.

  3. The menu of available demograhic attributes is displayed within a menu to the left of the Dashboard. From this menu, select the desired attribute. The report contents are refreshed.

Note: You can also choose the desired combination of KPI / demographic attribute within the Filter panel. 

 

 Working with Charts

Click hereClick here

Most Dashboards comprise multiple tiles that are designed to help you visualize your data. The various charts and graphs within these tiles include several options to improve the data's usability and clarity. 

  1. Within a chart, hover your mouse cursor over a data point. The platform displays additional detail for that data point within a pop-up. 

  2. For line charts that include multiple metrics, you can toggle a metric on / off by clicking on it in the legend. The platform refreshes the line chart, and automatically adjusts the scale as appropriate.
