Setting Preferences for Sites, Networks
Admins can customize the Parse.ly Analytics dashboard for their site, site group or network of sites.
- Week Starts On: Choose Sunday or Monday as the starting day of the week.
- Default Metric: Choose a core metric and encourage your whole organization to focus on it.
- Default Page Type: Choose to show only posts or all pages. We recommend the latter option for websites with a lot of content that aren’t blog posts or articles.
- Default Time Range: Pulse (real-time) is recommended for sites with a high volume of traffic; historical is recommended for sites with a lower volume of traffic.
- Enabled Tabs: Unchecking a tab will hide it in the dashboard. For instance, if you work on a company blog, you might want to hide the Sections tab because you don’t organize your content into separate sections.
- Time Zone: Please contact us at support@parsely.com to change the time zone for a site.
