Footfall Trends
Footfall Trends and its components provide an aggregated anaylsis of historical data across site and time periods, delivering high-level insight into trends, patterns, and performance over-time.
A variety of footfall trends are available:
- Live Dashboard,
- Weekly Footfall Trends,
- Monthly Footfall Trends,
- Annual Footfall Trends.
Each option provides a different level of aggregation, from real-time analytics through to long-term trends (weekly, monthly, and yearly).
The Live Dashboard is useful for real-time monitoring, while Weekly and Monthly Trends are typically the most useful starting points for analysing patterns over time. Annual Trends are best suited for long-term comparisons.
There are a variety of filters available in Footfall Trends, including:
- Filter by site.
- Filter by year, month, or week
Enabling users to analyse historical data (e.g., 2023 Week 18 for Location 1) as seamlessly as the current week.
