Introduction

The Cohort Analysis Dashboard shows a waterfall analysis of key metrics by cohort with the ability to define the cohorts by first order dates. It replicates the waterfall-style charts that many marketers are used to from Google Analytics, but gives users more flexibility in filtering the dashboard criteria or adjusting granular definitions of guest cohorts.

  • By default, last year is selected

Cohort Size / Date Group

    • “Month” will group guests by the month of their first orders (e.g., January, February), “Week” by the week of their first orders (e.g., week of 04/11/2022, week of 04/04/2022), and so on
