Dashboard measures

Every figure the Overview can chart, what it counts, how it can be broken down, how far back it reaches and whether it can be compared.

Reference8 min readFor anyone looking something up

Every measure that Add a chart offers, under the names the console uses. How this is counted on a chart shows the same definitions. Dashboard breakdowns and charts defines each breakdown and lists the charts each measure can use.

How to read the tables#

Column Meaning
Measure The name under What to measure in the builder
Breakdowns The names under Break down by. A heatmap takes two of them; the second is chosen under And by
Window Period: the page period, up to the number of days given. Now: as things stand, whatever the period. Next 30 days and Next 12 weeks: ahead from today
Compared Yes: the chart can show the change against the previous period

A window of 90 days, and a breakdown "from single records", covers at most the last 90 days. With a property chosen in the scope header, or a form under Limit to, it reaches 366 days. A chart that was cut short says so with a chip such as Last 90 days only.
