# Analytics dashboard
The **analytics dashboard** helps you measure and gain insight into your experience's performance, which can give you the information you need to adjust marketing, content, and monetization strategies.
The dashboard includes key performance indicators (KPIs) for your experience, including:
- [Retention](/docs/en-us/production/analytics/retention.md) KPIs that measure how many users return to your experience again after their first visit.
- [Engagement](/docs/en-us/production/analytics/engagement.md) KPIs that reflect how users actively use your experience and represent your core user base.
- [Acquisition](/docs/en-us/production/analytics/acquisition.md) statistics that show you the sources of users finding your experience and how users from different sources convert.
- [Demographics](/docs/en-us/production/analytics/demographics.md) shows you the age, gender, country, and language of monthly active users who play your experience.
- [Feedback](/docs/en-us/production/analytics/feedback.md) helps you monitor player/community comments and ratings.
- [Monetization](/docs/en-us/production/analytics/monetization.md) KPIs that help you understand the business performance of your experience, as well as [sales data](#sales-data) that you can download and analyze in custom ways.
Any experience with more than 10 daily active users (DAU) and 10 play hours for 7 consecutive days is eligible for accessing all KPIs on the dashboard.
## Set up analytics dashboard
If you are an experience owner or a group owner, and your experience meets the enrollment requirements, you can enroll in the analytics dashboard at any point with the following steps:
1. Make sure that you have a verified email address and a two-step verification method on your Roblox account.
2. Navigate to the experience overview page on the [Creator Dashboard](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations).
3. Read Roblox **Terms of Use** and agree to them.
Now you have access to the main dashboard on the **Overview** and dashboards of all KPI categories, including **Engagement**, **Retention**, and **Monetization**.
> **Info:** If you don't want to activate the dashboard immediately, or you accidentally decline the **Terms of Use**, you can still use the **Activate Analytics** button on the experience overview page to read the **Terms of Use** and agree to them any time. Refresh the page if you don't see the button.
> **Warning:** For group experiences, only the group owner and members with sufficient permissions can view the analytics dashboard, as some metrics contain sensitive information. See [roles and permissions](/docs/en-us/projects/groups.md#roles-and-permissions) for details on how to create a group role with access to the dashboard.
## Dashboard functionality
After activating the analytics dashboard, you can view the default charts on the overview and each KPI category. Hover over the **Information Icon** to understand what each chart represents and the **View Icon** to understand how to interpret the summary statistics on the top of each chart.
There are also functionalities on each dashboard to help you further analyze your experience's performance, such as [filtering by date](#filter-by-date), [exporting charts](#export-a-chart), [benchmarking](#benchmarking), and [viewing KPI Breakdowns](#view-kpi-breakdowns).
### Filter by date
You can apply a date filter to view the chart for a date range by separately selecting any specific time frame between the first date that the data was available and the present day as the start and the end date. You can also click and drag on a chart to "zoom in" to a shorter time range across the page.
### Filter by metrics
You can apply various filters to better understand your cohorts by clicking the **Filter By** button. Filters apply to all charts across all analytics pages until they are turned off.
Some filters might not be available for all metrics. If a filter is not available, you will see that it is grayed out:
You can filter by the following metrics:
| **Filter type** | **Example subcategories** | **Notes** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Age group | <9, 9-12, 13-15, 18+, etc. | |
| Gender | Female, male, unknown | |
| Country | All countries | |
| Language | All languages | This filter can help you see the impact of adding translations for different languages. |
| Source | Home recommendation, search, teleports, sponsored ads, etc. | |
| Active payer status | Top 15%, intermediate 35%, casual 50%, lapsed, never | Percentile-based within your experience, not a fixed value. **Top 15%** includes users who fall into the 85-100th percentile of spenders for your experience, **Intermediate 35%** 50-84th, and **Casual 50%** 0-49th. **Lapsed** indicates users who haven't spent in the past 30 days, and **Never** is users who've never spent. Recalculated daily. See **Platform spender status** for status outside of your experience. |
| When user first played | 0-30 days ago, 31-90 days ago, 91-180 days ago, 181-365 days ago, 365+ days ago, never | It's uncommon, but users can purchase a game pass and never actually play the experience. You might see these users on the revenue chart. |
| Platform spender status | Active, other | Fixed value, not percentile-based. **Active** includes users who've spent $9.99 or more anywhere on Roblox in the last 60 days. **Other** includes all other users.
This definition is consistent with the [Creator Rewards program](/docs/en-us/creator-rewards.md), so you can better understand the behavior of players who earn you Daily Engagement Rewards.[^1] |
| Platform | Computer, phone, tablet, console, VR | Users might be counted more than once if they use multiple devices. |
| OS (operating system) | Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, PlayStation, etc. | Users might be counted more than once if they use multiple devices. |
| Memory group (only applicable to some performance metrics) | <2GB, 2GB-4GB, 4GB-8GB, 8GB+ | Can help you identify devices that aren't performing well in your experience. |
### Explore
The **Explore** page lets you deep-dive into your data with custom visualizations. Use it to build charts from custom events or standard metrics, define formulas to calculate new metrics, overlay benchmarks and prior periods, and compare segments in custom tables. You can reach the Explore page from:
- The **Explore** tab in the **Analytics** left navigation.
- The **Explore** button on the top-right corner of any chart on the dashboard.
- A benchmark scorecard on the **Overview** page.
_ The Explore page provides a configuration panel and a single chart for focused analysis._
#### Configure a chart
The **Configure chart** panel controls what the chart plots. Choose a **Source** (for example, Engagement or a custom event) and a **Metric**, then refine with:
- **Time interval** — Days, weeks, or cumulative.
- **Breakdown by** — Split the chart by a segment such as platform, age group, or [custom field](/docs/en-us/production/analytics/custom-fields.md).
- **Filter by** — Narrow the data to specific segment values.
If you are using [custom fields](/docs/en-us/production/analytics/custom-fields.md), you can filter and break down custom metrics by dimensions unique to your experience.
#### Chart types
Pick the chart type that best fits the question you're asking:
| Type | Best for |
| --- | --- |
| Line | Trends over time — how a metric fluctuates day to day. |
| Horizontal bar | Comparing performance across breakdown values, such as cumulative playtime by platform. |
| Stacked column | Composition — how parts make up a whole, like total kills by weapon type. |
| Pie | Distribution — a quick snapshot of how a total splits across segments. |
| Table | Snapshots of multiple metrics side-by-side across breakdowns. |
> **Info:** Stacked column and pie charts aren't available for averages or ratios.
#### Calculated metrics
Toggle **Use operations** in the **Configure chart** panel to build metrics from multiple inputs using math operators.
1. **Define your variables** — Add the metrics or custom events you want to combine (`Metric A`, `Metric B`, and so on).
2. **Define your formula** — Combine them with `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, and constants, for example `(A / B) * 100`.
Common use cases:
- **Win rate** — `RoundWins / RoundsPlayed` to see how difficulty changes over time.
- **Economy health** — `CurrencySources - CurrencySinks` to monitor inflation in real time.
- **Engagement ratios** — `EquippedWeapon / TotalPlayers` to understand feature adoption.
_ Build calculated metrics by combining custom events and standard metrics with math operators._
#### Custom tables
Choose the **Table** chart type to view multiple metrics together. Tables support:
- **Row breakdowns** — Group rows by date (daily, weekly, cumulative) or by a segment such as platform, age, or spender status.
- **Additional metric columns** — Add more metrics to see a snapshot of performance across different breakdowns. Each metric should support the breakdown applied to the table.
_ Custom tables let you compare several metrics across a breakdown in a single view._
#### Overlays and smoothing
Use **Overlays** and **Smoothing** to understand how your metrics are trending:
- **Benchmarks** — Overlay the benchmark for your experience alongside your own data. See [Benchmarking](#benchmarking) for how benchmarks are selected.
- **Period-over-period** — Plot a prior time window on the same chart to compare against recent performance. Choose the offset (for example, a 28-day offset).
- **7-day moving average** — Apply smoothing to remove weekly seasonality and surface the underlying trend.
_ Combine overlays and smoothing to compare periods and see the underlying trend._
#### Share a chart
Once you've configured a chart, the URL reflects your selections. Bookmark it for later or share it with teammates to open the same view.
### Export a chart
To export a chart to use with other data analytics tools, click the **Export Button** and save the metrics in a `.csv` file. The file includes timestamps and values of each datapoint per KPI.
> **Info:** You can't export the chart data for the given KPI chart if you don't have any data for your experience. This is due to either you enroll in the dashboard for less than 48 hours or you don't have any users for the given timeframe.
### Benchmarking
Benchmarking is the process of measuring your experience's KPIs and comparing them to other experiences on Roblox. With benchmarks displayed on your dashboard, you can monitor the performance of your experience's analytics KPIs among experiences on Roblox to adjust your content strategy and set appropriate goals for improvement.
For KPIs relevant to specific aspects of your user behavior, the analytics dashboard provides **benchmarks for experiences with similar players**. Depending on the availability, you might see:
- **Experiences with similar players** if the model finds enough experiences enjoyed by players that are similar to yours, such as those on the recommended experiences section on your Experience Details Page.
- **Genre** benchmarks if the model cannot find enough similar experiences but your experience has an internal genre.
- **All experiences** benchmarks if your experience hasn't been labeled with a genre yet.
Your experience may transition from one benchmark set to another as we gather more data to help you compare your experience with the most relevant experiences with at least 100 daily active users. Benchmarks for similar experiences update daily to reflect the most relevant experiences for your user base.
When your benchmark sets update, such as **Genre** updating to **Experiences with similar players**, the dashboard adds annotations in the charts to identify when your experience transitions from one benchmark set to another.
Available KPIs for similar experience benchmarks include:
- **Retention** - All KPIs
- **Engagement**- Average Session Time
- **Monetization** - Average Revenue per Paying Users (ARPPU), Average Revenue per DAU (ARPDAU), Conversion Rate (CVR)
- **Acquisition** - Play Through Rate
Each of these KPIs shows its similar experience benchmark in the 50th - 90th percentile range. For example, if you see your Day 1 Retention benchmark's 50th - 90th percentile is 12.11% - 18.73%, it means that:
- 50% of experiences with similar players have a Day 1 Retention of 12.11% or lower.
- 10% of experiences with similar players have a Day 1 Retention of 18.73% or higher.
For KPIs on your experience's overall success, the analytics dashboard uses the top 1000 experiences with the highest total playtime over a rolling 30 days as the benchmarking pool, excluding experiences that are less than 30 days old. Each of these KPIs has **Top 200**, **Top 500**, and **Top 1000** as benchmarking tiers. The dashboard displays the appropriate tier for your experience based on your experience's engagement metrics and updates them on a daily basis.
### View KPI breakdowns
You can apply a breakdown to analyze each chart in a more specific category by clicking the **Breakdown by** and toggling between the breakdown types, including **Age Group**, **Platform**, **OS**, **Country**, and **Language**. The following table explains the subcategories and usage of each breakdown type. You might also see an "Unknown" subcategory that refers to users without relevant data.
| Breakdown by | Subcategory examples | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Age group | <9, 9-12, 13-15, 18+, etc. | |
| Platform | Computer, phone, tablet, console, VR | Users might be counted more than once if they use multiple devices. |
| OS (operating system) | Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, PlayStation, etc. | Users might be counted more than once if they use multiple devices. |
| Gender | Female, male, unknown | |
| Source | Home recommendation, search, teleports, sponsored ads, etc. | |
| Top countries | The top five countries where your experience has the most daily active users | Also includes an "other" category and total DAU. |
| Top languages | The top five languages where your experience has the most daily active users | Also includes an "other" category and total DAU. |
| When user first played | 0-30 days ago, 31-90 days ago, 91-180 days ago, 181-365 days ago, 365+ days ago, never | It's uncommon, but users can purchase a game pass and never actually play the experience. You might see these users on the revenue chart. |
| Active payer status | Top 15%, intermediate 35%, casual 50%, lapsed, never | Percentile-based within your experience, not a fixed value. **Top 15%** includes users who fall into the 85-100th percentile of spenders for your experience, **Intermediate 35%** 50-84th, and **Casual 50%** 0-49th. **Lapsed** indicates users who haven't spent in the past 30 days, and **Never** is users who've never spent. Recalculated daily. See **Platform spender status** for status outside of your experience. |
| Platform spender status | Active, other | Fixed value, not percentile-based. **Active** includes users who've spent $9.99 or more anywhere on Roblox in the last 60 days. **Other** includes all other users.
This definition is consistent with the [Creator Rewards program](/docs/en-us/creator-rewards.md), so you can better understand the behavior of players who earn you Daily Engagement Rewards.[^1] |
When viewing a breakdown on a chart, you can click on the value in the legend to toggle the line on and off, or double click on one value in the chart's legend to view only that line.
## Sales data
Sales data download is one of the Roblox analytics offerings that can help you view and analyze your asset and developer product sales in your desired way.
### Access sales data
Roblox automatically generates a `.csv` (comma-separated values) file for your sales data and updates it every 48 hours. You can download and customize it to fit your analytics tactics. To access the file:
1. In your [Account Info Settings](https://www.roblox.com/my/account#!/info), add and verify your email address for receiving the data download link.
2. In your [Security Settings](https://www.roblox.com/my/account#!/security), set up an **Authenticator App** as the 2-Step Verification method for your account.
3. Navigate to your or your group's transactions page.
1. For your personal sales data, navigate to the [My Transactions](https://www.roblox.com/transactions) page.
2. For your group's sales data:
1. Navigate to the [Groups](https://www.roblox.com/groups) page and select the target group.
2. Click the **⋯** button on the group banner and select **Configure Group**.
3. In the navigation menu, hover over **Revenue** to show the dropdown and then select **Sales**.
4. From the **Type of Transaction** dropdown, select **Sales of Goods**. Then click the **Download Data** button.
5. On the prompted calendar, select a calendar month of sales data to download. You can choose any month from the current date to up to two years ago. If you choose the current month, the file will include all available data of the partial month.
6. In the inbox of your verified email address, you receive an email with a link to download a `.zip` file that contains your sales data in `.csv` format. The link will expire after 48 hours.
7. You can use the `.csv` sales data sheet to analyze the data in your desired way to meet your specific business needs. For example, you can filter to display only sale records with pending Robux to release to you, so you can calculate the timeline and amount of your sales payout to make decisions on when to [exchange earned Robux for real-world currency (DevEx)](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203314100-Developer-Exchange-DevEx-Overview-How-to-Submit-Requirements) or pay your collaborators.
