Notes on charts

Mark launches, sales and changes on your chart. Sporetag adds notes for new goals, campaign starts and big days, and reports include them.

A note says what happened on a day, so a jump on the chart has a reason next to it. Notes show as a small flag on the main chart. Point at the day to read them.

Add a note

  1. Open your site's dashboard.
  2. Click a day on the main chart, or click Add a note under it.
  3. Pick the day, write a few words, like "Launched the spring sale", and click Add note.

Notes are up to 140 characters. A site can have 500.

Notes Sporetag adds

These come from data Sporetag already has. You do not need to do anything.

Remove a note

Click Notes under the chart and click the cross next to a note. A note you wrote is deleted. A note Sporetag added is hidden for good.

Where notes show

  • On the main chart of the dashboard, and on shared dashboards, so clients see them too.
  • In client reports, with a What happened block. The Monthly performance template has one.
  • To the Assistant, so when you ask why traffic jumped it can point to the note for that day.
