When you enter your Tracker Portal, you'll see a line graph representing the performance of attributes and entities across waves, with a breakdown of the wave data in the columns below.

Optimize Chart Views

Above the graph, there are several dropdowns to manipulate the view of your tracker.

1. Click Show timeline to show or hide the timeline and milestones throughout a tracker study.
2. Click Chart type to change the view from a line chart to a column chart, area chart, or stacked area chart.
3. Click the Scale dropdown to toggle between 0–100 (full percentage scale) and Min-Max (removes whitespace above and below the data). When you hide and re-add lines with Min-Max selected, the chart will automatically adjust.
4. The Show dropdown helps you quickly reset to include all waves when you've removed some from view.
5. Click the Intervals dropdown to select As fielded (the default timeline reflecting fielding dates), Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly, or Weekly intervals (which group waves by the selected timeframe according to completion date), or All intervals (which pulls all data into a single column).

Adding Milestones

Milestones allow specific dates and events to be added to a tracker study, making it easier to plan and visualize important activities such as marketing campaigns, product launches, and key deadlines. Customize each milestone with a title, date, and time, then move or edit them as needed.

1. Click Show timeline to show or hide the timeline and milestones.
2. Drag and drop the icon in the top left of the graph to add a milestone.
3. Click Create Milestone Label and type a label to name the milestone.
4. Click the calendar icon beneath Date to adjust the time and date of the milestone.
5. Click Save to lock the milestone into the timeline.

⚠️ Note: All milestones must have different labels. The timeline will match the timezone settings in your aytm profile.

Editing and Deleting Milestones

Once a milestone has been created within a timeline, it can be edited or deleted at any point:

1. Select the Milestone to edit or delete.
2. Click Edit Milestone Label to change the name of the milestone.
3. Click the calendar icon to adjust the date and time.
4. Click Save to confirm any changes to the name or date.
5. Click Delete to remove the milestone from your timeline.

Understanding Wave Data

Below the line graph, each wave will have its own column, which includes:

• The wave name/number.
• The dates that wave covers.
• The letter assignment for significance testing.
• A pin for benchmarking.
• An X in the upper left corner to remove the wave from view.

💡 Tip: To add a wave back into the view, scroll to the right, click Add a wave, and select the appropriate wave name and number from the list. This is also where you can add external or offline data.

If you would like to compare non-sequential waves side-by-side, you must manually remove any waves that occur in between the waves of interest. When you choose to benchmark a wave, the portal will update so that all significance testing will be performed against that benchmark.

Understanding Performance Data

In the columns below the wave information, you'll find performance data for entities and attributes. Statistical significance is indicated by the colored cells and any upper or lowercase letters in those cells.

• Hover over the letters in the cells to see the wave to which the abbreviation refers. Click on the letter to jump to that wave, which will be highlighted briefly.
• By default, confidence levels are set to 95% and 90%, as shown along the bottom of the Portal. Uncheck the box to hide significance testing; use the dropdowns to change the confidence levels; and use the color-picker to select different colors to shade for significance.
