Banner Analytics Page
In your Banner's analytics page, you can see your key Banner events over time, by date, in your local time zone. This will give you better insights into the performance, engagement and success of your Banners so that you can drive further success into your product with Appcues.

Here, you have the ability to export your CSVs. Additionally, you have the ability to change the time frame in which you're viewing the page. This allows you to view your data for a specific time frame, and applies to everything on the page. You can also apply a segment to see how the data changes and see the publish history of your Banner.

The Chart
The Chart gives you the ability to see how your Banners perform over time to help you determine your Banner's performance. You can hover over particular data points to see all the stats related to the viewing or clicks of your Banner. It's important to note this data is charted by daily unique users.

Scoreboard
The Scoreboard allows you to see a data summary of the key metrics we track; Users Seen, User Click-Throughs and Users Dismissed.
- Banner Seen (total times it was shown and unique users who've seen it);
- Banner Click-Throughs (generated by clicking a button or a link);
- Banner Dismissed (generated by clicking ‘x’).

Recent Users

Events Explorer

You'll then see all your draft and live Banners. If you click on any of the Banners, you'll see the data broken down in two events (definitions for these can be found at the bottom of this article):
- Unique Users seeing the Banner
- Total Click-Throughs
Clicking on any of the these events takes you to the page for the event. You'll see a chart and cards with total and unique events, as well a table with all the events triggered. You can use this table to search for a particular user. You can also adjust the date range at the top of the page and export a CSV with just this event type.
