Overview Page
The Overview is your project’s home screen — KPI tiles, funnel breakdowns, and recent activity in one view. Open it daily to spot trends without building custom queries.

Setup vs analytics mode
New projects without events show a setup state:
- Integration prompts with links to SDK docs
- Empty tile placeholders
- A checklist: install SDK → send first event → verify in Live
Once events flow in, tiles switch to analytics mode automatically and populate with live data. No manual toggle required.
Time range and granularity
Use the time range picker (top right) to change the analysis window:
| Preset | Use case |
|---|---|
| Today | Launch-day monitoring |
| Last 7 days | Weekly review |
| Last 30 days | Monthly trends |
| Custom | Specific campaign or release window |
Granularity controls bucket size for time-series tiles:
- Hour — intraday patterns, launch spikes
- Day — standard trend analysis
- Week — long-range comparisons
Changing granularity affects line charts and KPI trend arrows, not funnel or breakdown tiles.
Tile types
Overview tiles bind to the same insight model as Insights and Dashboards:
| Type | Shows | Example |
|---|---|---|
| KPI | Single metric with period-over-period trend | Daily active users, revenue |
| Funnel | Step conversion through an event sequence | Signup → activation → purchase |
| Breakdown | Dimension split (country, device, plan) | Users by $geo.country |
| Activity | Recent event stream | Last 20 events across the project |
Click any tile to drill into the underlying insight query or open the full Insights builder with the spec pre-filled.
Customizing Overview tiles
Overview tiles are managed like dashboard tiles:
- Click the tile menu → Edit
- Change events, filters, time range override, or chart type
- Save — changes persist for all team members
To add tiles not on Overview by default, create a custom dashboard and pin your key metrics there.
Reading KPI trends
KPI tiles show the current value and a trend arrow comparing to the previous period of equal length:
- ↑ Green — metric increased vs prior period
- ↓ Red — metric decreased vs prior period
- → Gray — flat within threshold
Trend direction is relative to the selected time range. A “Last 7 days” KPI compares to the 7 days before that.
Common questions
Why are my tiles empty?
No events in the selected time range. Check Live to confirm ingestion, then widen the time range.
Why does Overview differ from Insights?
Overview tiles may have different time range overrides or filters. Click the tile to inspect its query spec.
Can I share Overview with stakeholders?
Overview is project-scoped for all org members. For external sharing, export Insights charts or build a Dashboard with markdown context.
