To switch between these display modes, click ••• in the lower-right corner of your chart, and select your preferred display from the *Visualization* section of the menu. Amplitude limits KPI options to Average Session Length and Average Sessions Per User for a User Sessions chart. Also, only the dashboard owner can change the display mode of any included charts. ### Display takeaway metrics Some charts in your dashboard have the *Display takeaway metrics* option to display summary metrics at the top of the chart. There are some restrictions to note for the applicable charts: - **Event Segmentation**: Summary metrics aren't available for the frequency metric nor bar charts. - **Funnel Analysis**: When using "measured as conversion," summary metrics are only available for conversion charts with a single series–meaning, one user segment without a group-by filter. - **User Sessions**: Summary metrics aren't available for the distribution of session length metric. Follow the below steps to turn on or off summary metrics: 1. From your dashboard, choose the chart you want to display summary metrics for. Ensure the chart type is one that supports summary metrics: Event Segmentation, Funnel Analysis, or User Sessions. 2. Click ••• to open the chart's menu and click *Display takeaway metrics* to turn them on. 3. To turn off summary metrics, reopen the chart's menu and click *Display takeaway metrics* to turn them off. In the Event Segmentation chart below, *Display takeaway metrics* is switched on. The current day is July 25th, and the chart shows total article views in the last 30 days: - **129k:** Total across the entire date range. In this case, there were about 129k total article views from June 26th to July 25th. - **4.84k:** The metric in the most complete interval. In the example, there were about 4.84k views on July 24th. - **193%:** The difference since the previous interval. In the example below, there was a 193% increase in article views from July 24th to July 25th. - **254%:** The difference compared to the beginning of the date range set. In the example below, there was a 254% overall increase in new users since June 26th. In another example, look at an Event Segmentation chart with a custom formula. In this scenario, *Display takeaway metrics* is still on, only now there's an *Overall Value* that's a count of active users. Although the next three examples highlight counts of active users over the same 30 days, the *Overall Value* varies because of the different windows *(daily, weekly, or monthly):* - **592k**: Daily Active Users (DAU) is the number of unique users who were active on *each* day in the last 30 days. - **631k**: Weekly Active Users (WAU) is the unique count of users who were active in **at least 1 day in a 7-day window** in the last 30 days. The DAU and WAU overall values could have matched in this example if an underlying 7-day **lookback window** had been added to both. - **734k**: Monthly active users (MAU) is the unique count of users who were active in **at least 1 day in the last 30 days**. ## Add target metrics You can add a target metric for Event Segmentation, conversion Funnel, and User Session charts when using a chart visualization. Target metrics allow you to display the metric value your team is trying to achieve for the selected chart. You may also add a target date to the metric. The *Add Target Metric* option appears on conversion funnel charts with one user segment. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Click ••• in the lower-right corner of the chart and click *Add Target Metric*. 2. In the *Add Target Metric* modal, set your target for the chart's current KPI metric. If this isn't the metric you want, change the KPI metric on the chart and try again. 3. Check the *Show progress bar towards target* box if you want to display both a visual progress bar of the distance to your goal, and the baseline number for measuring your progress. 4. Click *+ Add Target Date* to add an optional target date. 5. Click *Save*. ## View your dashboard in full-screen mode Often, when displaying your dashboards on TV screens or shared monitors, a full-screen view provides the best experience. To enter full screen, click *More* and select *Enter TV Mode* from the drop-down menu. When using TV mode, the dashboard refreshes every five minutes. However, the charts in the dashboard refresh according to [this schedule](/docs/analytics/charts/chart-basics). Was this helpful?
