    • Updated links to guides within the dashboard and ensured that every relevant page now includes a guide to help you navigate and use the dashboard more effectively.
    • When sorting by Recirculation Rate on the Posts page, the factoid “Views Referred” has been renamed to “Internal Referred” and now correctly displays data only for internal referrers.
    • Added a breadcrumb and a clear title at the top of the new Details report for better navigation.

    Year-End Report: “Your Year in Content”

    We’ve introduced a special year-end report, “Your Year in Content”, designed to highlight your content performance over the past year.

    This report provides insights into your total page views, visitors, top 5 posts, sections, and authors, along with other key content metrics.

    Please note that your year-end report is available only at the individual site level and will not appear in the reporting section of the Parse.ly dashboard.

    Access your year-end report here: http://dash.parsely.com/{{SITEID}}/year-in-content. Replace {{SITEID}} with your site ID, such as wpvip.com.

  • Product update: January 23, 2025

    Daily time period added to Goals

    You can now set daily goals, expanding your options beyond the recently introduced weekly goals and the existing monthly and quarterly goals.

    Improved smart tag filtering

    We’ve enhanced the smart tag settings under Preferences to make them easier to understand and use. Now, the smart tag type(s) you select in Preferences will accurately reflect in the tag type dropdown on the Tags page. If you choose not to display smart tags, the dropdown will no longer appear.

    Improvements & Bug Fixes:

    • We’ve resolved an issue in the new Overview settings panel where selecting a conversion type in a filter for a listing was not possible. This functionality should now work as expected.
  • Product update: January 15, 2025

    Improvements & Bug Fixes:

    • Resolved an issue with the Publish Date filter where the date picker did not display the full date range for selected presets.
  • Product update: January 9, 2025

    Filter tags by low-level smart tags

    You can now filter tags to show only site and low-level smart tags. This adds to the existing options to filter by site tags, site and high-level smart tags, or all tags.

    Low-level smart tags are identifiable by their white background with a dotted line and corner.

    Weekly time period added to Goals

    A new weekly time period is now available in Goals, allowing you to set weekly, monthly, and quarterly goals. This enhancement helps you better track your content strategy’s performance.

    Redesigned Overview settings panel

    We’ve redesigned the Overview settings panel to make it easier to customize your Overview page. The new design simplifies finding the options you need, reduces the number of clicks to access them, and enhances the panel’s layout for a better experience.

    Improvements & Bug Fixes:

    • The “Posts Published” factoid label in the dashboard and reports has been renamed to “New Posts”. “New Posts” is the number of posts published within a selected time range.
    • Resolved an issue where the “Match Any” field was not displaying, which prevented the creation of new referrer groups.

  • Product update: December 18, 2024

    Redesigned Search for better navigation

    The dashboard search has been redesigned to make finding what you need easier and more efficient. You can now perform actions such as creating reports, accessing saved views, or changing the dashboard theme directly from the search modal.

  • Product update: December 11, 2024

    ‘Contains’ logic added to Campaign filter

    The campaign filter now includes a “contains” logic option, enabling more detailed filtering. This enhancement is available wherever the campaign filter is offered, including listing pages, info pages, reports, overview, and goals.

  • Product update: December 4, 2024

    Improvements & Bug Fixes:

    • The Clear all filters option in the filter bar now appears only when one or more filters are applied.
    • The redundant Sort by label from certain instances of the metrics dropdown has been removed.
    • We’ve standardized the envelope icon to ensure consistency across the dashboard.
