Understand Event Markers on Your Chart
The dots you see on your chart are called "markers" and they represent events from your calendar. These markers are powerful tools for understanding cause and effect.
What Markers Show:
When you hover over a marker (event dot) on the chart. This information includes:
- The event name
- Event date
- Event cost
- The market where the event took place
- Associated streaming numbers
Analyzing Impact:
Use these markers to streamline your analysis and answer important questions:
- Where were your streams before a particular event?
- How did the event affect your streaming numbers?
- Did the event help increase your numbers, or not?
- What can you do differently next time?
- What strategies should you repeat?
By connecting your events to streaming data, you can make informed decisions about which promotional activities deliver the best results.
Navigate and Zoom Your Chart
AG Intelligence provides multiple ways to zoom in and out of your charts for detailed analysis.
Zoom Methods:
Using a Mouse
Simply use your mouse scroller to zoom in and out of the chart.
Using a Laptop Trackpad
Place two fingers on your trackpad and move them apart to zoom in, or pinch them together to zoom out.
Using the Zoom Scroll Feature
Below your graph, you'll find a zoom scroll bar that gives you precise control:
- Click and drag to the right - Move the viewing window forward in time
- Click and drag to the left - Move the viewing window backward in time
- Adjust the toggles - Drag either end of the zoom bar to narrow or expand your time window
