Insights & Analytics
Insights Overview
Track player volume, game master performance, and custom field trends from one dashboard — with configurable time periods and automatic comparisons
The Insights dashboard turns your game data into trends you can act on — player volume over time, game master performance by room, and how customers answer your waiver questions. Pick a time period, switch between views, and share any filtered dashboard state with a URL.
Go to Insights in the sidebar. You need the View insights permission.
Dashboard views
Three tabs organize your data:
- Players — Player counts, room breakdowns, returning visitor rates, and escape metrics. Includes automatic prior-period comparison.
- Game Masters — Per-game-master stats with optional room filtering.
- Custom Fields — How customers answered your custom waiver questions.
Click a tab to switch views. The selected tab and all filters are preserved in the URL, so you can bookmark or share a specific view.
Time periods
Use the period selector in the header to change the date range. Seven presets cover common ranges:
| Preset | Range |
|---|---|
| 1w | Past 7 days (yesterday back 6 days) |
| 4w | Past 28 days (yesterday back 27 days) |
| 1y | 52 weeks aligned to Saturday boundaries |
| Mtd | First of the current month through yesterday |
| Qtd | First of the current quarter through yesterday |
| Ytd | January 1 through yesterday |
| All Time | Earliest recorded data through yesterday |
The default when you first open Insights is 1w.
Custom date range
Click the date range calendar to the right of the preset dropdown. Select a start and end date. If your dates happen to match a named preset (other than All Time), the selector switches to that preset automatically — which also enables prior-period comparison on the Players tab.
Chart granularity
Charts adjust their granularity automatically based on the period length:
| Granularity | When it applies |
|---|---|
| Daily | 1w, 4w, Mtd, Qtd, and custom ranges of 45 days or fewer |
| Weekly | 1y, and custom ranges longer than 45 days |
| Monthly | Ytd and All Time |
Pro Tip: If your weekly charts look too compressed, try the 4w preset instead of 1y. Daily granularity makes short-term patterns much easier to spot.
Prior-period comparison
When you select a named preset on the Players tab, the dashboard automatically loads a comparison period. For 1w, 4w, and 1y, the comparison is the same-length window immediately before the current range. For Mtd, Qtd, and Ytd, the comparison is the equivalent window in the prior month, quarter, or year.
The prior period appears as a purple line on the player count chart alongside the current period in blue. The summary card shows the prior total and a percentage change indicator — green for increase, orange for decrease, gray for no change. Room sparklines also show current vs. prior lines.
All Time and Custom ranges don't include meaningful prior-period comparison data. The Game Masters and Custom Fields views don't show prior-period data regardless of the preset.
Common Mistake: If the prior-period comparison looks empty, check that you're on the Players tab and using a named preset other than All Time. Custom ranges and All Time don't calculate comparison data.
Room filter
A room filter dropdown appears in the Game Masters view only — to the left of the period selector on desktop, below it on mobile. Select a room to narrow stats to games in that room. The default is All Rooms.
The room filter isn't available in the Players or Custom Fields views.
Behind the Scenes: All dashboard state — the active tab, period, room filter, and custom dates — is stored in the URL as query parameters. Refresh the page, share the link, or use browser back/forward and the view is exactly as you left it. Data is cached for 5 minutes, so switching between tabs and periods within that window is instant.
