Overview dashboard: Effectively analyzing your store

Your overview dashboard provides a centralized location to view and monitor key information and metrics in one place. It displays real-time or near real-time data, allowing you to have access to the most up-to-date information. Also, you can view visual representations such as charts, graphs, and gauges to present complex data in a clear and easily understandable format.

You can view your store's data by simply navigating to your Shoplazza admin > Analytics > Overview dashboard.

Features of Overview dashboard

Customizable time period

  • By default, the dashboard initially shows today's data (from 0:00 to the time of entering the page) based on the store's time zone. You can choose different time periods in the dropdown to view corresponding data or select Custom to select specific dates to form a time period.

Note

When the time range is less than or equal to 3 days, the chart will be presented by hour. When the time range exceeds 3 days, the chart will be presented by day.

Date comparison

  • The dashboard compares current data to past data by default. For instance, today's data is compared to yesterday's. In the chart below, the data for the comparison period is presented in a dotted line.

Note

The default view displays "Today's" data. The comparison time period will automatically align with the initial time range set by the user. Though it doesn't have to match, for the most accurate comparison, both periods should be of the same length.

Switching the country/region

Use the dropdown menu to focus on a specific country or region.
