Highlights

Highlights provide a quick summary of the most important metrics. They are available in the Dashboard, Reports, and Logs.

Default Metrics

By default, the following metrics are available as Highlights:

  • Clicks
  • Leads
  • Transactions
  • Costs
  • Revenues
  • Profit

How Highlights Work

In Time-Based Reports

In reports that display data over time (e.g. Performance Report), Highlights show the sum of each metric for the selected time period.

  • Default Highlights are active by default, but you can toggle them on/off at any time
  • Each Highlight has its own color.
  • Clicking an active Highlight deactivates it.
  • Clicking an inactive Highlight activates it.

In Entity-Based Reports

In reports that display data by entity (e.g. Offers, Affiliates), the graph always shows only one Highlight at a time, across the top 10 rows for that Highlight.

  • This avoids clutter, since showing all Highlights would result in dozens of lines.
  • Each row has its own color, while the Highlight itself does not.
  • Clicking an active Highlight deactivates it.
  • Clicking an inactive Highlight activates it, and the previously active Highlight is automatically deactivated.
  • If you want to display multiple Highlights for a single row, first deselect all rows in the table by clicking the checkbox icon.
  • The table is sorted by the selected Highlight, from highest to lowest.

Editing Highlights

From the dashboard you can edit your Highlights:

  • Add a new Highlight
  • Remove an existing Highlight

When in edit mode:

  • Highlights are visually marked in the familiar edit style.
  • The button label changes from “Edit Overview” to “Add” (since you’re already in edit mode).
  • Removing a Highlight is done via hover → trash icon → confirmation. This prevents accidental deletion.

⚠️ Individual metric editing is not supported. Instead, you add the metrics you want to see and remove those you don’t. This keeps the feature simple and avoids unnecessary complexity.
