    Before delving into your app's key metrics, it's important to keep in mind a few crucial notes.

    • Clicking on See Report will give you an enlarged view of the specific graph with additional downloadable details on the metrics.
    • Hovering over the visual comparison graphs will show a card containing the comparison metrics for that specific point in time.
    • The percentage value in green denotes an increase in the metric, while the percentage value in red indicates a decrease.

    With that in mind, let's take a look at the information presented in the Swipecart Analytics dashboard.
