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.
