Yahoo! Web Analytics allows you to set up a dashboard for your data and then select how that data should be visualized. For more information on displaying dashboard data, see Types of Dashboard Items.

Type Description
Executive Dashboard

Executive dashboards provide you with real time snapshots of key metrics, which allow you to set goals, track progress and identify danger points for your web site’s performance. The reporting interface offers you a series of pre-configured executive dashboards, which you can find under Reports: Dashboards. You can edit these default executive dashboards, or create new ones. You can also drag and drop your dashboard items to customize the layout of your dashboard pages. This is done without refreshing the page and is instantly saved. You can have as many as 10 different executive dashboards per user account.

Standard demographics Dashboard The updated demographics dashboard aims to give users a clearer idea of who is visiting a web property, and ‘where’ they are browsing from. This gives a snapshot of a web property's appeal, with in-depth reference to geographical locations, gender balance, age groups and your visitors' interaction with Yahoo! content. The demographics dashboard provides you with a quick snapshot of key demographics & interest groups reports, which allows you to better understand the visitors to your website. This dashboard is aimed at helping you picture your visitor as a person rather than just as a series of clicks. You can, of course, further customize the dashboard items on the demographics dashboard to include conversion metrics or incorporate the new demographic options with other new or existing dashboards.
