Dashboard: how to read your performance overview
Discover the most-read articles
The Dashboard is the first page you see after logging in. It brings together your key metrics, your charts and your best performing partners over the period you choose.
Open your dashboard
In the left-hand menu, under General, click Dashboard. It is also the landing page displayed right after you log in.
Choose the period and the scope
Three settings at the top of the page apply to every block:
- The period selector, set to Last 30 days by default.
- The compare to field, initially set to the same length of time immediately before. This is what feeds the change percentages. Careful: as soon as you change the reference period, it resets itself to the same period one year earlier.
- The programs selector on the advertiser side, set to All programs. It only appears if you manage several programs.
A single analysis cannot span more than 25 months. Beyond that the dashboard returns no data: split your period in two.
The Performances block
This is the row of metrics at the top of the page. Six are shown, never more. The gear icon to the right of the title opens the full list: pick exactly six, then confirm with Save.
Here is what each metric counts:
Comparison and Split
The Comparison block overlays the Current period and the Previous period. Two buttons in the top right switch between line and bar chart. The Split block next to it shows the weight of your top five partners as a ring chart, with the rest grouped into an Others slice.
In both blocks, the drop-down list in the top right changes the metric being analysed (conversions, commissions, clicks, and so on).
My payments
This block summarises your commissions by payment stage, with an amount per card. Click a card to open the program’s Payments page.
- Available commissions breaks down into Available (from Affilae) and Available (from advertiser), depending on who pays out.
- Pending groups the commissions you cannot claim yet, typically when the program’s payment threshold has not been reached.
- An Errors card only appears when an amount is affected (failed payout, blocked payout, disputed or refused payment).
Partnerships
A ranking of your partners, or of the brands you work with, over the selected period, with their trend. The block shows ten rows at most. If you have more than ten partners, the top nine are named and everyone else is grouped into an Others row.
Top selling products
This block only appears when product sales are reported by your tracking. It requires an active product feed and product references sent in the conversion tag. The details are in the dedicated article, linked at the bottom of this page.
Reading your figures correctly
- Always compare periods of the same length, otherwise the percentages lose their meaning.
- A gap with the Reporting almost always comes from a different period or filter.
- The dashboard gives you the trend. For a detailed line by line analysis, use the Reporting and its exports.
