Analytics dashboard

A user interface with a collection of widgets, it provides an overview of reports and metrics to help you quickly visualize and review data. It lets you keep track of numerous matrics at once and observe connections between various reports.

Analytical dashboards can contain reports like:

  • Page view in time
  • Traffic by channel and localizations (countries, cities)
  • Conversion by channel and localizations

A useful analytics dashboard should be clear and include some conclusions and action points.
