Notes on the chart

Mark what happened right on the traffic chart.

Click the chart at a launch, a post that took off or a pricing change, and write a note. It stays there as a marker, so the next time you look at that spike you know what was going on.

Click a moment, write a note.

Click the chart at any point (an hour, a day or a week, depending on the interval) and a panel opens for that moment.

Notes
Up to 500 characters, signed with your name. Press Add note or Cmd+Enter, and edit or delete it later.
Any date and time
A note goes at the start of the moment you clicked. Change its date and time first, in your website's time zone, or move it later.
Chats
The live chat conversations from that moment, with their first message. Click one to open it in the Inbox.

Pin the ones that matter.

Pin a note to keep it above the chart whatever dates you're looking at, like a launch or a pricing change you always want in view. Click it to open its moment; if that's outside the dates on screen, the dashboard switches to its day first. Up to 10 pinned notes per website.

Choose what's drawn.

  • Notes are markers at the bottom of the chart, with a count where there are several
  • Show notes on chart and Show chats on chart turn each kind on or off, per website, remembered in your browser
  • Hidden notes stay in the panel; they just aren't drawn
  • Hiding notes hides the pinned ones above the chart too

Set it up.

  1. Click the chart

    At the hour, day or week the change happened.

  2. Write the note

    Say what happened, adjust the date and time if needed, and press Add note.

  3. Pin it

    Click the pin on a note you always want above the chart.

Questions, answered.

What are chart annotations?

Notes placed on the traffic chart at a moment in time, such as a launch or a pricing change, so you can see them next to the traffic around them.

Can I add a note for a past date?

Yes. Click the chart at that moment, or change the date and time under the note before adding it. Editing a note lets you move it too.

What does pinning a note do?

A pinned note stays above the chart whatever dates you're looking at, and clicking it opens its moment. Each website can have up to 10.

Can I hide notes from the chart?

Yes. Show notes on chart in the panel turns them off for that website in your browser. They stay in the panel.

Do notes appear on public dashboards?

No. Notes and chats are never shown on a public dashboard.
