Overview tab

The Overview tab is the first tab seen after logging into the Parse.ly Dashboard. Overview shows a snapshot of what the audience is paying attention to during a set timespan, allowing fast content decisions. Read more about how numbers and data are calculated.

1. Sentiment Headline: A brief summary that summarizes traffic performance. This can be turned off in the Customize panel.
2. How the set time range compares to the past (since data tracking first started in Parse.ly). Adjust the time range in the Customize panel.
3. Overall metrics and factoids for the set time range. Adjust which metrics are displayed here in the Customize panel.
4. Listings show what’s getting the audience’s attention. Customize these by clicking the gear icons to the right of their headers.
5. The real-time graph shows the set timeline metric based on the set time range. The green value is current, and the gray is historical for comparison (an average of the last 8 weeks or months, depending on time range settings). Adjust the timeline metric in the Customize panel. (This line graph becomes a bar graph when fewer than 20 views per minute are being logged.)
6. Use these filters to refine Overview. “All audiences” in the first drop-down menu means you’re seeing all traffic for your site, network, or site group. You can also create up to five custom filters using the second drop-down menu here.
7. The Customize panel allows configuration of Overview that’s saved only on the current browser.
8. Click the expander icon to open a full-screen version of Overview for larger display on a TV or monitor.
