Pro Tips:
Tip 1: Limit the number of selected metrics per chart to 2 for better visualization.
Tip 2: Normalization feature: if values for selected metrics are very distant (e.g. 10 M ad Requests v.s. 0,30 CPM), check in the "normalize data" box below the metrics to visualize the smaller values in the graph.
Note: Normalization might overcomplicate the visualization if too many metrics are selected.
Tip 3: Use the "Dimension Limit" Feature to display top 5 or top 10 results for Dimensions involving large number of elements (e.g. breakdown by country, ad size or ad unit).
Tip 4: Click on the "legends" below the chart to isolate metrics or dimensions. This action will only remove the clicked elements during the existing session but won't affect the properties of your chart. You can activate or deactivate elements in the graph at will.
Tip 5: Hover over the graph to get a breakdown of the selected metrics.
Tip 6: See the variation of each metric against the exact same previous period on the results displayed above the graph (Green arrows indicate increase, Red arrows decrease).
