Favorites

Favorites are a new feature added to SmarterStats that allows you to quickly access common report items and settings, similar to a shortcut. An example provides the best explanation of how favorites work.

John Doe, a webmaster for a small company, uses SmarterStats to compare the activity of his company's site on a monthly basis. Specifically, he is interested in the trend of the web browsers his visitors use. Primarily, he is interested in comparing last month to this month.

John brings up the Browsers report and then he clicks on the "Add To Favorites" link in the right section of the page. Using the dialog, he configures the favorite to be the Browsers report with a date range of Last Month and names it "Browsers Last Month". He then repeats this process and chooses a date range of Month to Date and names the favorite "Browsers This Month."

In the left sidebar, John can now quickly click between the favorites and see the results at a glance, making his day-to-day job much easier.
