Dashboard actions

The data dashboard has a few basic actions that can help you with your analysis.

Set the date range

You can review historical data to spot trends and changes in user activity over time.

Steps

1. Click the date range field.

   

2. Choose a preset range (for example, Last 90 Days) or click Custom to choose your own range.

   Tip: If you want to use a preset date range, you can select More to see additional options.

   

3. Click the Update button.

   

The dashboard refreshes with data from your selected range.

Update the dashboard time zone

The data dashboard uses the time zone that your internet browser uses. The time zone affects two things:

• The date range.
• The hourly guide start data accessible from the Users by Date line chart.

If you are not physically located in the same place as your organization, you might want to change your dashboard time zone to match the time zone of your organization.

Steps

1. Click the more actions menu (⫶) and select Viewer Time Zone.

   

2. Start typing the name of the nearest major city. Then select an option from the list (for example, America - New York) and click Update.

   

The dashboard refreshes with data in your selected time zone.

Filter by platform

By default, the dashboard combines data from the Bloomberg Connects app and the mobile web experience. To filter the dashboard by platform, click App or Web then click the update button.

The dashboard refreshes to show data for the selected platform only.

Reset dashboard filters

You can reset the dashboard filters (date range and language) to the default values (Last 30 Days and all languages). To reset the filters, click the more actions menu (⫶) and select Reset Filters.

The dashboard refreshes.

Download data

You can download data from the dashboard to share the information with your organization's stakeholders in meetings and presentations.

For example, you can download both the Overview page and the Exhibition Detail page. Together, they give a complete picture of how people used your guide in the period around a major opening.

Steps

1. Click the more actions menu (⫶) and select Download.

   

   In the window that appears, set your download preferences:

   

   • Format: PDF or CSV.
   • Paper size: Choose the paper size on which to present your data. If you are preparing the data for digital communication, we recommend keeping the default selection: Fit Page to Dashboard. Otherwise, if you plan to print your data, select the appropriate paper size.
   • Expand tables to show all rows: This is helpful if any of the tiles contain many rows of data and you want all the rows to appear. If you don't select this option, the download includes only the rows in your current view (for example, five or ten rows, depending on your browser).
   • Arrange dashboard tiles in a single column: Export the tiles in a single column instead of the side-by-side configuration used in the dashboard. We recommend that you check this option to avoid formatting issues.
   • Open in browser: Download the data in your internet browser, instead of in a PDF or CSV document.

2. Click Download.

   

The file downloads to your computer.
