Dashboard Page - "Popular Categories" Graph

[milstudy]

Hi All!

This may be a stupid question, but I'm prepared for that I've searched help and the forums and haven't been able to find an answer:

The "Popular Categories" graph on the Merchant Dashboard page; I'm assuming the values across the top are hits ("by views"), but over what time period? Minutes, hours, days?

I may be dim and the answer may be self-evident, but I can't see it!

Thanks in advance,

Adrian

I've always wondered the same. The numbers always seem very low for anything over a few hours.

Does no one have any idea at all about this?

Thanks,

In the source code, it gets the count from the page views table grouped by category id and uses the top 5 based on a parameter in the code on the PopularCategories control. Then there is a cache setting in the control based on if the user is in the report admin role it forces a refresh when they first view then it adds a key into the cache for a time at 5 minutes.

Thanks Judy!

That explains why the figures "jump about" over time.
