Charts and TV mode

Fullmetrix reports show how your numbers change over time as charts. Four header buttons change how they are displayed. TV mode puts the page full screen, the trends button adds a trend line, the annotations button places your events on the curves, and Change theme switches between light and dark.

These buttons only show an icon. Hover over them to read their name. An active button takes the solid color of the main button.

Read a trend chartCopy Anchor Link

Most charts show a value day by day, such as revenue or the number of orders.

• The colored area is the period chosen with the period button.
• The lighter dashed line is the comparison period, aligned day by day. It only appears if Fullmetrix has data for that period.
• The horizontal axis shows dates. The vertical axis is hidden to keep the chart readable, exact values show on hover.

Hover over a point. The tooltip shows the date, followed by "vs" and the compared date, then both values. The comparison series is labeled (previous), for example "Revenue (previous)".

The period and comparison are set as explained in Date range and comparison.

Show the trendCopy Anchor Link

A day-by-day curve goes up and down a lot, especially for a small store. The trend line sums up the overall direction of the period.

Click the Show trends button, with the rising curve icon. A line appears on every trend chart of the page. A second, dashed line sums up the comparison period. You see at a glance whether your business is speeding up or slowing down compared with last year.

Click the button again, now Hide trends, to remove them. Your choice is remembered in your browser and applies to every report.

The button is available on the Dashboard and on E-commerce, Google Analytics, Search Console and ad reports.

Show annotationsCopy Anchor Link

An annotation is a dated note, such as "Sale launch" or "Site outage". It explains a spike or a drop right when you look at the chart.

The Show annotations button, with the flag icon, only appears once your organization has at least one annotation. Click it to show them. Each annotation becomes a vertical dashed line, in the chosen color, with a dot at the top of the chart. Hover over the dot to read its title.

Only annotations whose date falls inside the displayed period appear. Annotations are hidden by default each time the page loads. Click Hide annotations to remove them.

Create an annotationCopy Anchor Link

Annotations are created on the Annotations page of the Tools group. Click New annotation, then fill in the Title, Date, a Description (optional) and the Color. Click Create. The annotation is visible to your whole organization. The details are in Annotations.

Annotations also show on the charts of your goals.

Use TV modeCopy Anchor Link

TV mode shows the report full screen, without sidebar or header. It is designed for a screen in an office or warehouse that stays on all day.

On the Dashboard, numbers reload every minute in TV mode. You see new orders come in without touching the screen.

The TV mode button is available on the Dashboard, on E-commerce, Google Analytics, Search Console and ad reports, and on the Multi-store view. It is hidden on small screens, such as phones.

Change themeCopy Anchor Link

The Change theme button, at the far right of the header, switches between light and dark display. At first, Fullmetrix follows your computer's setting. As soon as you click the button, your choice is remembered in your browser.

The dark theme works well for TV mode and for screens viewed in the evening.
