Google Analytics has a couple of default boxes when you view

a report for one of your web sites. What if you aren’t happy with

this selection?

At the time of this writing, the Google Analytics dashboard displays a map overlay and a visitors

overview box, among others. But what if you already have a good handle on where your visitors

come from, making the high-level information contained on the map overlay redundant?

Well, you can just change the dashboard settings. One way to do so is to grab a box and drag

and drop it elsewhere on the page. You can also click the X in the upper-right corner of a box to

make the element disappear. If you want to add new boxes, instead, rst navigate to the Analytics

page containing the information you’re interested in, such as Content→Content by Title. You can

now click the Add to Dashboard button at the top of the page (Figure 12-3). Going back to your

dashboard, you will see that the new box has been added, and you can rearrange it on the page like

other elements.
