How to Pin and Organize Analytics Sections

Analytics v2 question pages (Speed, Solved, Routing, and the other question pages in the analytics rail) are built from stacked sections, each with its own eyebrow header. Every section can be folded out of the way, jumped to from a sticky tab bar, or pinned so it shows up alongside your other favorites on a dedicated Pinned board. This article covers all three.

Collapse or expand a section

Each section on a question page has a header that acts as a fold control.

• Click a section’s header to collapse it down to just that eyebrow title, or click it again to expand it back out.
• To fold the entire page down to its table of contents in one action, use Collapse all. This is useful when a question page is long and you only want to scan the section titles before deciding what to read.

Collapsing a section only affects what’s currently rendered on screen — it doesn’t change any filter or date range, and reopening a section re-shows the same data you’d have seen if it had never been folded.

Jump between sections with the tab bar

Question pages carry a sticky tab row that sits in the same block as the filter bar, just above the sections themselves. The tab row lists every section on the current page, so you can click a section’s tab to jump straight to it instead of scrolling.

As you scroll down the page, the tab bar tracks your position: the tab for whichever section is currently in view is highlighted automatically. This means you can also use the tab bar in reverse — scroll normally, and glance at the bar to see which section you’re reading.

The rail on the left lists pages; the tab bar on the page itself lists that page’s sections. Use the rail to move between question pages (Speed, Solved, Routing, and so on), and the tab bar to move around within the page you’re on.

Pin a section

Every section header carries a pin icon. Click it to pin that section.

Pinned sections are collected on a separate Pinned page, reachable from the analytics rail alongside the other question pages. This gives you a single board made up of just the sections you’ve chosen to keep an eye on, pulled from across the different question pages, without having to revisit each page individually.

To unpin a section, click its pin icon again — either from the original question page or from the Pinned board itself.

How the Pinned board behaves

The Pinned board is rendered with the same underlying page component as the question pages it draws from, which means it behaves consistently with them:

• Filters carry over. The Pinned board shares one filter state with the sections it displays — change the date range or a filter on the Pinned board and pinned sections reflect it, the same as if you’d changed that filter on the section’s original page.
• Clearing filters. If a filter combination on the Pinned board leaves nothing to show, the board’s empty state offers a way to clear filters and get back to a populated view.
• Related data comes along. Some sections depend on a companion band to make sense (for example, a comparison section that needs its accompanying mix band). When you pin a section like that, its companion comes with it on the Pinned board, so you don’t end up with a pinned section that’s missing context it needs.

Tips

• Collapsing a section and pinning a section are independent — you can pin a section and still fold it out of the way on its original page.
• The Pinned board is a good place to build a lightweight “my view” across question pages — pin your SLA section from one page and your routing mix from another, and check them together without hopping between pages.
• Section state (which sections are collapsed, which are pinned) is remembered per tenant, so it’s still there the next time you come back.
