Date Periods

   

This feature is very useful when you want to understand how behavior changes over time.

 

In version 6.x , you can see the Site Overview in a large number of date ranges including:

 

       All dates 
       Today 
       Yesterday 
       This week total 
       This week by day 
       last week total 
       Last week by day 
       This month total 
       This month by week 
       This month by day 
       Last month total 
       Last month by week 
       Last month by day 
       This quarter total 
       This quarter by week 
       This quarter by month 
       Last quarter total 
       Last quarter by week 
       Last quarter by month 
       This year total 
       This year by month 
       Last 12 months by month 

               

For versions earlier than 6, or for Analyzer and Optimizer, you can see the following date ranges:

 

All dates

The reports span the entire range of dates chosen for analysis.

 

Day

Data for only the most recent day in the date range is displayed. By default this single day report is turned off. You can enable this from the Options Dialog.

 

Week

The 'Week' period shows the most recent seven days in the date range, with each day broken out separately.

 

Month

The 'Month' period shows the most recent five weeks in the selected date range, with each week broken out separately. Weeks always begin on Sunday and end on Saturday, so the last week may only represent a partial week. If your date range is not five weeks long, some of the earlier weeks will be blank.

 

Six months

The 'Month' period shows the most recent five weeks in the selected date range, with each week broken out separately. Weeks always begin on Sunday and end on Saturday, so the last week may only represent a partial week. If your date range is not five weeks long, some of the earlier weeks will be blank.

 

You can switch between the different time periods by clicking the tabs at the top of the report.

 

The dates within each period are determined from the overall range of dates being analyzed. See Selecting date range or Show me how
