### Settings Use & Descriptions

#### Display Chart

Toggle this option to display or hide this chart.

#### Dimension

List of possible dimension selections from Google Analytics. Caution: not all dimension and metric combinations will produce valid data. If you're not sure about a possible combination, try out the Google Analytics Data Feed Query Explorer to test it.

#### Metric

List of possible metric selections from Google Analytics. Caution: not all dimension and metric combinations will produce valid data. If you're not sure about a possible combination, try out the Google Analytics Data Feed Query Explorer to test it.

#### Sort Column

List of possible sort column values for data. In most cases for linecharts, this should be the same as the dimension selection. Changing the dimension selection will automatically update the Sort Column value, however it can then be changed to another value if desired. Note: failure to update this value can result in a 400 error if it is set to a value that is not in either the dimension or metric selections.

#### Sort Order

Data can be sorted ascending or descending. Ascending sort on time series data will produce a standard timeline (left to right date progression).

#### Line Color

Color selection to allow customization of the line color used for this data element from the default color scheme.

#### Display Metadata

Toggle this checkbox to display metadata statistics about the chart, including Maximum Value, Minimum Value, Last Value, and Average Value. Disable this option to conserve screen real estate on the dashboard.

#### Compare History

Toggle this checkbox to display a comparative view of historical data with the current time period. The current date range will be graphed using the Line Color selection. Data from the prior period will be graphed for comparison purposes in gray. If the Display Metadata option is enabled, metadata from the prior period will also be displayed below the graph in gray. For example, if the current date range selection is for the past 30 days (Aug 1 - Aug 30), then the prior 30 days (July 2 - Jul 31) will be displayed as historical data for comparison. Note: the scale will not be the same for both sparklines. Sparklines are intended to show trends, not details. As such, the scale cannot be used as a point of comparison. To see the comparative performance over both periods, use the metadata values.

#### History Line Color

Color selection to allow customization of the line color used for the history line chart for this element from the default color scheme.

#### Display Trend (Requires History)

Toggle this checkbox to display daily trends (as a %), as well as over the selected date range. Date range trends are calculated as the % difference (+/-) between the current date range period and the historical date range period. Daily trends are calculated as the % difference (+/-) between the last date value and the prior date. Trend data will be shown below the chart, at the bottom of the metadata section. Disable this option to conserve screen real estate on the dashboard. Note: this option is only available if Compare History is also selected.
