By default the chart plots metrics, one line per active Highlight, each in its own colour. It can also plot the rows of the table instead, so you can compare individual affiliates, offers, or advertisers against each other over time.
Selecting rows
- Hover over a row and a checkbox appears.
- Select one or more rows and the Show in chart button appears in the table header.
- Up to 10 rows can be plotted at once.
In entity based reports the first 10 rows are already selected when the report opens. The deselect icon clears them all in one click.
What the chart does
Once you click Show in chart:
- The button turns into Cancel display and changes colour.
- With several rows selected, every Highlight except the main one, Transactions, is switched off. Ten rows across six metrics would be sixty lines, which is why only one metric stays.
- With a single row selected, the Highlights that were active stay active. The chart simply narrows to that one row.
- Active Highlights are shown in black, inactive ones in grey.
- A legend appears under the chart listing the selected rows, each with a colour from the same palette the Highlights use.
Selected rows and export
Selecting rows also changes what you can export. With rows selected, the Selected option becomes available in Export, so you can take out exactly the rows you are looking at rather than the whole table.
Time range and granularity
The chart follows the period set in the date picker and the granularity chosen next to it: hours, days, weeks, or months. Changing either redraws the chart without affecting which rows are selected.
