Dashboard & Analytics
The admin dashboard shows you how your feedback board is performing. Get insights into user engagement, popular features, and activity trends.
Accessing the Dashboard
- Log in as an admin
- Click Admin in the navigation
- You'll land on the Dashboard (Analytics) page
Stats Cards
At the top, you'll see four stat cards:
| Card | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Total Votes | Total votes cast across all features |
| Active Users | Users who have interacted (voted, commented, or submitted) during the selected period |
| Total Comments | Comments posted on all features |
| Page Views | Total page views on your feedback board |
Each card displays the current value along with the change compared to the previous period (e.g., "+12% vs last period" or "-5 vs last period"), giving you a quick sense of whether engagement is trending up or down.
Time Range Filter
Before diving into the charts, use the time range filter at the top of the dashboard to control the period for all analytics:
| Option | Period |
|---|---|
| 24h | Last 24 hours |
| 7d | Last 7 days |
| 30d | Last 30 days |
| 90d | Last 90 days |
Changing the time range updates all stats cards, charts, and lists on the dashboard simultaneously.
Activity Chart
The main chart shows activity over time as a combined line/bar chart with daily granularity:
- Bar segments = New features submitted each day
- Line (green) = Votes cast per day
- Line (purple) = Comments added per day
Hover over any data point to see the exact count for that day. You can click the legend labels to show or hide individual data series.
