## Dashboard display options

- Display your dashboards as charts, KPIs, or tables
- Add target metrics to your dashboards
- View your dashboards in full-screen mode

After you create and populate your dashboard with charts or cohorts, you can modify its display settings to best accommodate your team's needs.

## Display as charts, KPIs, or tables

You can display any [Event Segmentation](/docs/analytics/charts/event-segmentation/event-segmentation-build) charts, conversion Funnel charts, and User Session charts you add to your dashboard as a chart, a table, or a single KPI. To switch between display modes, click ••• in the lower-right corner of your chart, and select your display from the _Visualization_ section of the menu.

{% callout type="note" %}
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.
{% /callout %}

### Display takeaway metrics

Some charts in your dashboard have the _Display takeaway metrics_ option to display summary metrics at the top of the chart. Applicable charts have these restrictions:

- **Event Segmentation**: Summary metrics aren't available for the frequency metric or 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.

To turn summary metrics on or off:

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 on. The current day is July 25, and the chart shows total article views in the last 30 days:

![dashboards summary metrics.png](/images/analytics/dashboards-summary-metrics-png.png)

- **129k:** Total across the entire date range. In this case, there were about 129k total article views from June 26 to July 25.
- **4.84k:** The metric in the most complete interval. In the example, there were about 4.84k views on July 24.
- **193%:** The difference since the previous interval. In the example, there was a 193% increase in article views from July 24 to July 25.
- **254%:** The difference compared to the beginning of the date range. In the example, there was a 254% overall increase in new users since June 26.

In another example, look at an Event Segmentation chart with a custom formula. In this scenario, _Display takeaway metrics_ is still on, but the chart now includes an _Overall Value_ that counts active users. Although the next three examples highlight active user counts 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.

{% callout type="note" %}
The DAU and WAU overall values could have matched in this example if an underlying 7-day **lookback window** had been added to both.
{% /callout %}

- **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.

{% callout type="note" %}
The _Add Target Metric_ option appears on conversion funnel charts with one user segment. 
{% /callout %}

To add a target metric:

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 _Show progress bar towards target_ 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

When displaying your dashboards on TV screens or shared monitors, a full-screen view often provides the best experience. To enter full screen, click _More_ and select _Enter TV Mode_ from the dropdown menu.

{% callout type="note" %}
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).
