Explore a dashboard without changing it

Over the last two weeks we shipped a run of changes that let you dig into a dashboard freely, while the saved version stays exactly as it was.

Change the view, then apply

Pick new dates, compare with the previous period, or filter to one channel or country, then apply. Figures, charts and their sources update together. Return to saved view puts everything back.

To keep a view, save it with a name. It reopens against the latest data, so it never goes stale. You can also keep dated notes on a dashboard that only you can see and that never touch its figures.

Focus on one thing

Click Focus on this beside a table row, a donut slice or a bar and the whole dashboard filters to that value. Remove it again with one click.

Filters work on daily activity heatmaps, multi-line trends and stacked charts too. A scatter chart becomes a two-measure table for the value you chose, and cohort charts let you pick an arrival cohort and follow-up week.

Page through every row

Ranked tables, and donut, bar, column, map and scatter charts, now offer Explore all collected rows. Search for a value outside the top results, sort by either measure and page through everything we hold. Each page downloads as a CSV.

Bigger charts, and two segments side by side

Expand chart opens any chart in a larger view with a table of the exact values. Nothing is reloaded or recalculated, so you see exactly what the dashboard showed.

Compare segments puts two values next to each other, such as two channels over the same dates, with their totals, the difference and matching daily trends. Switch between daily, weekly and monthly, and fold the controls away when you are done.
