Trends Panel: Compare Across Different Time Periods

Dashboard

What's new? The Dashboard _Trends Pane_l now allows users to compare metrics and ratios across different time periods, a feature that was previously exclusive to the Trends application. To use this functionality, check the Compare against previous period option in the edit panel. This will automatically display the current period next to the previous one (for example, �This Month� compared to �Last Month�). Additionally, a new Show data cumulatively checkbox allows you to display cumulative data within the Dashboard Trends panel.

Why does it matter?

You can now quickly identify performance trends and changes without having to switch between applications. The new cumulative data options provide flexibility for various analysis needs, accommodating both point-in-time snapshots and running total perspectives.

How do I enable this?

Available by default.
