Custom Dashboards

自定义信息中心
For most Google Analytics users, the dashboard is the first thing you see when viewing your reports. Dashboards in the new version of Google Analytics have been redesigned to be completely widget-based and highly customizable. There are four types of widgets: Metric, Pie Chart, Timeline, and Table. This gives you the ability to choose the visualization that best suits the data you want in your dashboard. The Dashboard uses a three-column layout, and you can customize the layout by dragging and dropping the widgets as you’d like.

对大多数谷歌分析用户，信息中心是他们查看报告时候看到的第一个东西。新版谷歌分析的信息中心现在已经经过重新设计，实现了完全的基于小窗口的高度订制化。有四种小窗口：指标、饼图、时间线、表格。这将允许你可视化地选择最符合你需求的数据放置到信息中心。信息中心采用三栏布局，你可以自由地通过拖动或删除小窗口来定制界面。

•Metric: Shows the value of a metric and a sparkline of that metric over the selected time period

指标：显示指标的值和该指标选定时间范围内的波型图。
•Pie Chart: Best suited for displaying breakdowns of a metric by a certain dimension. E.g., Visits by Browser Type.

饼图：非常适合显示通过一个特定维度细分的指标，如：浏览器为分组依据的访问数。
•Timeline: A graph of any metric over time. You can also compare two metrics in the same graph.

时间线：任意指标在一段时间内的变化情况图表。你还可以在同一个图表中比较两个指标。
•Table: Think of this as a mini-custom report. You can show one dimension with two metrics and up to 10 rows of data in a table.
Multiple Dashboards

表格：把这个看作一个迷你型的定制报表。你可以在表格中显示一个维度两个指标多达10行数据。
A common request we heard from you all is that one dashboard isn’t enough. You told us that wanted the ability to customize multiple dashboards for different analyses. Thanks to the new Google Analytics platform, we’re happy to give you the power to create multiple custom dashboards, up to 20 per profile. You might start with an overall “Company KPIs” Dashboard that includes the most important performance indicators for your company, then create an “SEO” Dashboard for your search engine optimization efforts, and a “Content” Dashboard that centers around the content of your website. We’d love to hear what you do with the other 17 slots.

我们听到的一个普遍请求便是一个信息中心不够。你们告诉我们想要根据不同分析需求定制多个信息中心。由于新版谷歌分析平台的面世，我们非常高兴给你们创建多个定制信息中心的权力，每个配置文件多达20个。你可能先要一个整体“公司KPI指标”信息中心，其中包含你公司最重要的性能指标，然后创建一个“SEO”信息中心来展现搜索引擎优化方面的成就，再创建一个“内容”信息中心聚焦关注网站的内容。我们期待听到你们会跟踪另外哪17个。

Going Forward
未来计划
The core functionality for the new dashboards is ready for you to use, but this isn’t everything we’ve planned for dashboards in the new version. Because we are so excited about the new Dashboard, we decided to make its core features available to you first. For starters, we still need to bring some of the features from the current dashboard over, such as the ability to share, email, and export a Dashboard. We are actively working on them (along with many other improvements), so please stay tuned.
新版信息中心的核心功能已经准备好了，但是这并不是我们曾经规划好的所有关于新版信息中心的事情。因为我们对新信息中心是如此的兴奋以致于决定先上线核心功能。在初始阶段，我们仍然需要引入当前版本中的一些功能，比如分析、邮件发送、发送到信息中心。我们正在积极地努力（还有一些其他改进事项），因此，敬请关注。

We hope you will find the Dashboards in the new Analytics easy and fun to use. Happy Dashboarding!
我们希望你会感觉新版谷歌分析的信息中心，简单、易用。祝你快乐！
