Comparison card overview

Comparison cards allow you to see how metrics in your business are changing over time. You can compare how a metric has changed since last week, last month, or last year. This can help you determine how the changes you're making in your business are affecting the metrics you care about.

Changing a metric

You can change the metric on a comparison card in two ways. The easiest way is to click directly on the current metric on the front of the card. A drop-down menu will appear and you can select any metric from the list.

The data displayed on the card will refresh and show the newly selected metric.

The second way to change your metric is from the card settings menu.

  1. Navigate to the three-dot menu in the top right of any card

  2. Click "Card settings"

  3. Select the "Data Series" tab

  4. Select the metric drop--down and select the metric you wish to see

  5. Save your changes

Card Filters

Card filters enable you to create dashboards that contain cards with different filters applied to each of them. For example, you might want to have a card that's just for Germany data on your EU business review dashboard or a card that's filtered to just the new variation you just launched on your product line overview dashboard. This is how you can do that.

  1. Navigate to the three-dot menu in the top right of any card

  2. Click "Settings"

  3. You're now on the "card filters" tab of card settings

  4. You can update any of the available filters here.

    Note: Updating card filter settings will only affect the filter for that card. All other cards on the dashboard will continue to be filtered by the filter bar at the top of the dashboard.

Same as dashboard

In all card filter dropdowns, you'll see an option called "Same as dashboard".

  • With this checked, your card will "follow" any changes made to the filter bar on the dashboard.

  • With this box unchecked, updates to the filters on the dashboard will no longer update the filters on this card.

Time Grouping

All comparison cards have time as their x-axis. The amount of time in each period can be updated to display as many time periods as you'd like. To update this follow the instructions below:

  1. Navigate to the three-dot menu in the top right of any card

  2. Click "Settings"

  3. You're now on the "card filters" tab of card settings

  4. Find the "Time grouping" dropdown and select it

  5. Choose the time grouping you'd like

  6. Click save

Data series customization

Each data series on a comparison card can be modified in a few ways. As you update the metric or time range settings on a comparison card the data series options will change accordingly.

Title: Updates the label for that data series on that card

Color: Updates the color for the data series

Disable: Removes the data from that data series from the card. Three are three ways to do this:

  1. Check/Uncheck the box next to any data series in settings

  2. Click on the button on the front of the card

  3. Click on the "x" in the data series row on the front of the card.
