Analytics Display
Our design analytics tool includes four different charts:
- Top tags by number of designs tagged - these are based on tags you use
- Top designs by favorites - these are based on favorites, not votes in design challenges
- Top designs by sales (over 30 days) - based on number of sales, not by commissions
- Top designs by comments - based upon number of posted comments, not content of comments
You may select the chart that will automatically display every time you visit the 'My Dashboard' page. Please note: all 4 options are available directly from the 'My Dashboard' page, this is just an opportunity to select the one you would like to see first.
Design Library View
You can choose to display 4 or 12 of your most recent designs. Clicking on the design thumbnail will take you directly to the design's preview page.
