Compare time periods

You can compare different time periods to better understand your data considering seasonality and changes in usage following adoption of new tools and capabilities. You can choose to compare between the same period last year or pick a specific date and compare the timeframe starting from this date. You can also use the hours filter to fine tune your analytics for specific hours.

• Choose Same Period Starting At to compare with a specific time period of the same duration. You may also select to filter the analytics for the hours for a specific time range.  For example, if you would like to compare analytics for March to February, select the first selected time period as March 15, 2021 to March 21, 2021.
