Metrics Explorer - Comparing, Filters and Search

The Compare button at the top of the main grid opens a metric picker that lets you select up to 10 metrics for side-by-side comparison. This is useful for spotting correlations (e.g., between traffic and engagement), or for tracking related metrics together on a single chart.

Selecting metrics to compare

The Compare Metrics picker shows all available metrics with a checkbox on each card. Select up to 10 metrics, then continue to the comparison view. A counter at the top shows how many you've selected (e.g., "2 / 10 metrics selected").

The comparison view

Once you confirm your selection, the comparison view opens with a summary band at the top showing each selected metric's current value and percentage change, followed by an overlay Trend Comparison chart with one line per metric.

Hover any point on the comparison chart to see a tooltip with the date and the value of every selected metric on that day.

Statistical Summary

Below the Trend Comparison chart, a Statistical Summary table provides per-metric statistics across the selected date range:

  • Current — the aggregate value.
  • Change — percentage change vs. the previous period.
  • Average — the average daily value.
  • Peak — the highest single-day value.
  • Low — the lowest single-day value.

Click any column header in the Statistical Summary to sort the table by that column.

Filters and search

Three controls help you narrow down which metrics appear in the grid: the search box, the trend filter tabs, and the Filters button.

Searching by metric name

Use the search box in the top right of the main grid to filter the metric cards by name. Typing a few characters narrows the grid to just the metrics whose names match. This is the fastest way to jump to a specific metric when you already know what you're looking for.

Filters button (Trend direction)

The Filters button (top right) opens a panel with additional filter options that apply across the visible metrics. It leads to four tabs that let you filter cards by their trend direction: All, Increasing, Decreasing, and Unchanged. These filter based on the comparison badge — useful for quickly surfacing all the metrics that have moved in a particular direction.
