Metric detail page

See a metric's full series, its best and worst day, and split the number by campaign, ad set or channel in six views.

Clicking a card in the catalog opens that metric's page. It answers three questions: how much it was in the period, how it moved day by day and where the number came from. Use it when a value caught your eye and you want to understand the cause before changing the campaign or explaining it to the client.

Before you start

  • It works for any metric in the catalog, custom ones included.
  • The default range is the last 30 days, in the client's time zone.
  • Some views depend on what the source offers; when a view isn't possible, its tab shows as disabled with the reason.

  1. 1Add to dashboard sends the metric to a dashboard; custom metrics also have Duplicate.
  2. 2The KPIs: period value, best and worst day and daily average.
  3. 3The metric's six views.
  4. 4The chart for the selected view, with its controls.

The header shows the name, the platform, the description and, if the metric is on dashboards, how many (“On 3 dashboards”). Custom metrics carry the Custom metric badge and the readable Formula.

The four numbers at the top

  • In the period: the value for the whole period and the change against the previous period.
  • Best day and Worst day: follow the metric's direction. For a cost, the best day is the cheapest one.
  • Daily average: for volumes, the total divided by the days in the period; for rates, the average of the days with data.

How to investigate a number

  1. 1
    Step 1

    Check the trend

    In the Trend view, see whether the change came from a one-off spike or a new level. Switch Group by to Week when the daily series is noisy.

  2. 2
    Step 2

    Split by item

    Open Comparison and pick the dimension in Split by (for example, Campaign). Items show by name, never by ID.

  3. 3
    Step 3

    See each part's weight

    In Composition, the donut shows each item's share of the total. It only exists for metrics that add up (spend, clicks); rates like CTR don't add up to 100% across parts.

  4. 4
    Step 4

    Cross it with another metric

    In Correlation, pick the second metric in Cross with (Relator suggests a pair, such as cost and result). Each point is an item of the dimension, and the sentence says whether the relationship is strong, moderate or weak and whether both rise together.

    Step 5

    Export the table

    In Table, check value, previous, change and share for each item and click Export CSV. The file carries the metric and dimension names.

Common problems

  • No data in the period → nothing was recorded between those dates. Change the range or check the connection.
  • Couldn't load this view → temporary failure while querying the data. Click Try again.
  • Distribution disabled → pick a range of 7 days or more.
  • Composition disabled → the metric is a rate. Use Comparison or Table.

Frequently asked questions

Does the browser back button undo a view change?

Yes. Switching view, dimension, second metric or grouping adds a step to the history; changing the date range doesn't.

Can I share the view I'm looking at?

Yes. The view, the dimension and the range live in the page address; anyone with access to the client opens exactly the same screen.

Why does Composition show “Others”?

To keep the donut readable, the smaller items are added up as “Others”. The total always matches the period value.
