Calendars

Default value: Current day.

When you select a start date using the calendar, the end date will automatically adjust based on the Timespan value. For instance, if we have Timespan set to 7 Days and select 3/12/2019 as the start date, then the system will automatically set the end date to 9/12/2019.

Timespan Arrows

Click the left or right arrows to move back and forth by the Timespan period.

For instance, if the Timespan is set to 7 days and you are viewing data for the week 7/12/2019 to 13/12/2019, then when you click the right arrow ( > ), the system will skip to the next week, displaying analytical data for the 7 days between 14/12/2019 and 20/12/2019.

Horizontal Axis

Default value: Hourly from midnight


The horizontal axis displays the timespan values and changes depending on the Timespan value selected.

When timespan = 1 Day, the horizontal axis displays every hour from midnight until the current hour.

Top 'No Result' Searches

More...

Default value: Sorted by # Searches


Click the More... indicator at the bottom of the Top 'No Result' Searches grid to display more information on customer search terms that yielded no results.


Image Modified


Now, this feature is clever, and it is best described with an outlandish example.

Image Modified


Customers search for ergometer on our site and the system returns 0 results.

Image Modified


This zero-results situation is reflected in our 'No Results' Search Summary.

Image Modified


Click on More... at the bottom of the Top 'No Results' Searches grid and the system will take you to the 'No Results' Search Summary.

If we type ergometer into the Search Term: field under Search Results, the system, which reflects the end-user experience, will display nothing.

Image Modified


What we can do is add a Query Translation for ergometer for what we want the user to see whenever they type that search term.

To show you that it isn't using 'similar word' settings, let's assign a translation term that has no relationship to the word ergometer: bucket.

Click

  •  Click Edit.

Type

  •  Type in bucket.

Click

  •  Click Update.

Image Modified


The Query Translation for the Search Term ergometer will now redirect the user to a list of products with bucket in the name.

Image Modified


In the Search Term: field of the Search Results, type in your original term that was returning zero results. In this example, that word is ergometer.

As you can see, the system now returns a product with bucket in the name.

Tip

You may need to clear your cache in CMS → Settings → Cache Management to effect this change.



Let's mimic the end-user experience

.

:

Go to your website and type in the original term that was returning zero results: ergometer.

The system returns a product with bucket in its name.
