Using the Trends Dashboard

Last updated on: December 14, 2024

Ontraport's Trends Dashboard gives you a bird's-eye view of how your sales, marketing, and business data changes over time. You have colorful trend charts showing what's working and what may need more attention in your strategy.

You can see if you're getting more new leads over time or fewer. You can also know how often contacts engage with your marketing emails. You can also check to see if there's a change in the number of people visiting your sales pages over the past month.

Both your Trends Dashboard and your Metrics Dashboard show you essential information for your business in their way. If you want to see data as snapshots in time, check out your Metrics Dashboard.

The Trends Dashboard is available for all account levels.

Navigate to your trends charts

You can get to your Trends Charts by clicking Dashboard from your main navigation.Then click the Trends tab on the left.



Once you navigate to your trends dashboard, you can view the charts below and filter each chart to see the exact information you want. At the top of the page, you can update the timeframe filter for all charts. Each chart also has filters to hone in on the information you want.

You've also got some other helpful controls from your Toolbar. Let's take a look:

Trends toolbar

Back to top

The toolbar at the top of your Trends Dashboard allows you to set a time frame for all the charts on your page, customize your page layout and more.

Here’s what each of your toolbar buttons do:

Dashboard timeframe

Click the timeframe dropdown  to select the timeframe for all the charts on your page.

  • Adjusting your timeframe is a great way to see how different charts may impact each other.
    • For example, if you suspect that when you send more emails, you get more sales. Then you can view your email and sales data for the past week, last 30 days, etc., and see if when your emails go up, your sales do too. 

Click fullscreen icon  to view your charts in fullscreen.

  • This is helpful if you want a wider view of all your charts. 

Click  to refresh your dashboard charts.

  • Use the refresh button when you want to pull in new information. 

Click pinned items  to add your Trends Dashboard to your pinned items.

Click Settings to edit your dashboard layout by selecting which charts you want to see, and reorder them. Check out the “Edit your chart layout” section below to learn more.

You can edit the layout of the charts on your Trends Dashboard to organize your data and hide charts you don’t want to view. You can change your chart order if you want two charts to be next to each other. And if you’d like to hide a chart you don’t use, you can toggle it off. Here’s how:

  1. Click Settings to open your layout editor.
  2. Hover over the chart you want to move or remove.
