The left pane on the Visits or Visitors tab shows a list of all communities and domains in hierarchical order. You can search for a specific community or domain by using the Search Communities and Domains search box.

When you expand a community in the left pane, its subcommunities and domains are shown. In addition, the data for the community that you expanded is shown in the table next to the left pane. You can also expand a subcommunity or domain in the left pane to view the data for that subcommunity or domain in the table. You can identify the community or domain for which the data is shown in the table by the label above the table.

Tip After having clicked a community or domain in the left pane, if you want to go back to viewing the data for all communities, click the same community or domain in the left pane again. When you view the data for all communities, the label All appears above the table.

On the Visits tab, in the left pane, the number that appears next to each community or domain indicates how many times the users visited the assets within that community or domain in the current period. The arrow next to each number indicates the trend of the number of visits compared with the previous period.

  • A down arrow indicates that the number of visits in the current period is less than that in the previous period.
  • A left arrow indicates that the number of visits in the current period is the same as that in the previous period.

Above the table, Current Period shows the number of times that the users visited the assets within the selected community or domain in the current period, and Previous Period shows the corresponding number in the previous period. This data is also graphically represented as a trend line chart. You can hover your pointer over the solid (current period) or dotted (previous period) lines in the chart to compare the data between two corresponding days in the current and previous periods.
