This dashboard provides workflows to create reports and dashboards that let you to view key information, all in one location.

There are standard dashboards in the Audience Analytics dashboard:

Business Summary. This provides a summary-level view of the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) over key time intervals. Data in the table is supplemented with a percentage-wise increase or decrease in performance-related data. This is indicative of how current data fares in comparison with older data from an immediately preceding similar time period. For example, the data from your MTD (Month-to-date) dashboard view on the 12th of December is compared against data for a similar period from the previous month (November 1 to November 12). The change percentages are colored red indicating reduced numbers, blue indicating no change, and green indicating improvement.
Quality of Service. This provides a summary-level view of the Key Quality Indicators (KQI) over specific time intervals. It provides aggregate data, average data, or both for the various KQI that help you understand quality trends over time and its impact on audience engagement. While the summary provides total unique numbers, the reports available below the summary give hourly details.

📘
You may notice a data discrepancy within 2% when you plot metrics against different dimensions or generate a report at different times.

Set Aggregate or Average

The Key Performance Indicators table lets you switch between Aggregate and Average values for the selected date and time values.

You can mouseover data in the table to see how current data compares to older ranges, with the percentage of increase or decrease in figures. The figures in the table are colored red to indicate reduced numbers, blue to indicate no change, and green to indicate improvement.

Stick with six reports in a dashboard

By default, a dashboard has six reports, a number to keep in mind if you want to add more reports or create a custom dashboard.

Although you can have an unlimited number of reports in a dashboard, we recommend no more than six for easier viewing and reference. You can create multiple dashboards, instead.

Manage a report's widget

Each individual report's content panel is referred to as a "widget". You can interact with a widget in several ways to modify the report.

Change Dimension. Click the title in a widget to select a different dimension to view data for it. This option is only for reports or widgets in a standard dashboard.
Add Metrics. Mouseover the header of a widget and click the plus icon. You can select up to five additional metrics to combine their data with the report. This option is only available for reports or widgets in a standard dashboard.
Settings. Mouseover the header of a widget and click the gear icon to select multiple options.

- Export CSV. This lets you download report data in comma-separated-value format. This option is not available for all widgets.
- Resize Widget. This extends the report widget for a wider view. The other widgets arrange themselves below this extended widget.

If you want to create a dashboard that's different from the standard ones, you can add a custom one and add a report to it "on the fly."

- Chart Type. Select the desired table or chart format for the report:
  - Data Table. Information is displayed in a table with named rows and columns.
  - Pie Chart. Information is displayed in a round graph divided into sections that represent a part of the whole. You should only use this if you expect very few values for the dimension you'll use.
  - Two Dimension Table. Select this if you'll be using two dimensions in your report.
  - Line/Area/Column Chart. These charts show a change in the trend of data and it automatically uses Country as the primary dimension.
  - World Map. This chart shows the geographic distribution of data and it automatically uses Country as the primary dimension.
📘
Only reports using the Time dimension display aggregation levels in Report View. Without this dimension, you can't select the Aggregate radio button to view report data in that format.
- Dimensions. Select the dimensions you want to use in the report. You can select up to five dimensions to be plotted on the chart. The use and availability of Dimension depends on your selected Chart Type.
- Metrics. When you select a metric, all other available metrics change color. The blue metrics are used as measuring instruments and the red metrics enhance the information available from the blue metrics. These red metrics are plotted on the right Y-axis. Black metrics that appear only for the Line/Area/Column chart type can be plotted on the table. If a Metric is grayed-out, it's not available for use with a Dimension or another Metric you've selected.
