Dashboard overview

The Metriox dashboard is your main tool for visualizing and analyzing data. This is where you build widgets, set up filters, and get insight into user behavior.

What is a dashboard?

A dashboard is a configurable workspace where you place widgets to display analytics. Each widget shows one slice of your data — from a single number to a multi-step conversion funnel.

Core elements

Widgets

Widgets are the building blocks of a dashboard. Six card types can be added to a dashboard (the "Add card" button):

  1. Top — top events or properties
  2. Funnel — conversion funnels
  3. Table — data in tabular form
  4. KPI — a single value
  5. Histogram — distribution histogram
  6. Series — time series

Three more reports exist but live on their own pages rather than on the dashboard — looking for them in the add-card list will not find them:

ReportWhere it lives
Heatmap — activity by weekday and hourthe Audience page
Retention — retention by cohortthe Retention page
Cohort — cohort sizes by periodthe Cohorts page

Time range

Every widget has a time range setting:

  • Last N hours: 1h, 6h, 12h, 24h
  • Last N days: 7d, 14d, 30d, 90d
  • Custom period: pick a start and end date

Granularity

Granularity determines how data is grouped over time:

  • Minute — detailed, near real-time analysis
  • Hour — analysis within a single day
  • Day — the standard period for long-term analysis
  • Week — monthly and quarterly trends
  • Month — year-over-year dynamics
Choosing granularity

For a 24-hour period use "Hour". For 30 days use "Day". For a year use "Month".

Filters

Filters let you narrow the analysis to a subset of your data:

  • Filter by event
  • Filter by property
  • Combine conditions (AND/OR/NOT)

Metrics

Metrics define what is actually measured:

  • Events — the number of events
  • Users — the number of unique users
  • Events per User — the average number of events per user

  2. Choose a widget type
  3. Configure its parameters
  4. Save

Step 3: Set up filters

  1. Choose a time range

Dashboard examples

Activity dashboard

Goal: track overall activity in the bot

Widgets:

  • KPI: total users for the day
  • Series: active users per day
  • Top: top 10 events

Conversion dashboard

Goal: analyze the funnel from start to purchase

Widgets:

  • Funnel: /startview_pricingpurchase_completed
  • Table: a breakdown by funnel step
  • KPI: conversion rate

Engagement dashboard

Goal: understand how engaged your users are

Widgets:

  • Series: DAU (Daily Active Users)
  • Histogram: events by hour of day
  • Top: most active users

Working with several bots

Metriox lets you manage several Telegram bots from one account:

  1. Switching between bots — use the dropdown at the top of the page
  2. Separate dashboards — each bot has its own set of dashboards
  3. Comparing bots — build a dashboard with data from different bots

Exporting data

Export data from your widgets:

  • CSV — tabular data
  • PNG/JPG — chart screenshots
  • API — programmatic access to data

Best practices

Organizing dashboards

  • Create separate dashboards for separate goals: monitoring, conversion, engagement
  • Use clear names: "Daily monitoring", "Funnel analysis"
  • Group similar widgets together

Configuring widgets

  • Don't overload a dashboard with widgets (4-8 works best)
  • Use the same time range for related widgets
  • Add descriptions to your widgets

Monitoring

  • Set up alerts for critical metrics
  • Review your dashboards regularly (daily or weekly)
  • Update dashboards as the product evolves
