#  Post count and page views per post

The post count and page views per post metrics are available to sort the [Authors](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/authors-tab/),
[Sections](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/sections-tab/), and [Tags](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/tags-tab/)
tabs of the [Parse.ly Dashboard](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/).

Sorting by either metric in these tabs also displays in the factoids the number 
of new posts published during the selected time period:
