The Admin Dashboard ("the Dashboard") is the default "landing page" when you access Higher Logic Thrive Marketing Professional. It displays charts that provide various metrics so that you can quickly get a graphical overview of your Thrive Marketing activity and engagement.
TIP: As you work in the Admin interface, you can easily return to the Dashboard by clicking the Higher Logic logo that's at the top banner of all Admin interface pages.
Dashboard filters
By default, all charts display data for the past 90 days.
The Dashboard has two filtering options that you can use to change the date range in order to see historical activity and engagement metrics for your messages. The two filtering options are the:
- Global filter - which will be applied to all charts.
- Chart filters - which will be applied to only the chart that hosts it.
Filter notes
TIP: Check out Dashboard date picker, below, for a date-picking tip.
- When you apply filters to the Dashboard charts, the filters are associated to your unique login and remain in effect until you log out and end the session.
- Any filtering you apply remains in effect until you:
Global filter
You can use the global filter to easily apply a date range -- other than the "past 90 days" default -- simultaneously to all your Dashboard charts.
- Click the Filter icon in the upper right of the Dashboard to open the global filter option.
When using this filter, consider:
- The date range that you set will be applied to only those charts that have a filter option.
- The filter's date range is valid for the current log-in session only; chart data will reset to the "past 90 days" default upon log out.
- The date range that you set is not preserved in the global filter; it resets to the "past 90 days" default.
- You can set the global filter so that the date range is applied to all charts, but you can then manage individual charts with the chart-specific filters and "Clear Filter" options.
- The global filter will supersede any chart-specific filters that were applied before it.
- If the global filter is applied, all chart-specific filter icons display as orange to indicate that the chart data is filtered. The global filter icon never changes color.
TIP: You cannot "undo" a global filter. If you want to reset the charts to the "past 90 days," open the Global Filters dialog, check the Date box (the default date range displays), and click Apply.
Chart filters
Several of the charts have an individual filter that you can configure in order to see metrics other than the "past 90 days" default or what the global filter is displaying.
- Click a chart-specific Filter icon in the upper right of the chart.
When using this filter, consider:
- The filter's date range is valid for the current log-in session only; chart data will reset to the "past 90 days" default upon log out.
- The chart-specific filter will supersede any global filter that was applied before it.
- If a chart-specific filter is applied, the chart's filter icon displays as orange to indicate that the chart data is filtered (as shown below).
