Core functionality
Navigation
Page Tabs - Depending on your role’s permissions you will be able to navigate to some or all of the tabs at the top of the Analytics page.
Toggles - Within the pages in Analytics various toggles will allow you to navigate to various views and tables.
Filters - At the top of most of the tabs, there is a “Show Filters” button in the header that when pressed will show the set of global filters.
Global Filters
All data on a page is based on the filters set in global filters

Date range - Select from a preset list of ranges. Or, set a start and end date.

Hero section
The hero section comprises a set of top-level key performance indicators (KPIs). Under each KPI are the associated toggles that when clicked will update the line chart and linked pie chart. The line chart displays the selected data over time, while the pie chart acts to subdivide the data across multiple categories. The pie chart can be used to further filter the data in the line chart (pie chart filtering).
