Getting Started - View Analysis

Click “Analysis” in the navigation menu.

When clicking into your Analysis page for the first time, you'll notice that this module defaults to display all transactions over the last 30 days.

The returned results are summarized in 3 important ways:

  1. The Headline Metric along with a smaller Trend Metric provide an immediate summary of the returned results throughout the given date range. Both of these items can be toggled off or on in the configuration panel.

  2. The Chart displays a dynamic time series of the data that a user can interact with in order to find additional transactions or balance details. The configuration panel on the right side is used to manage display options like Cadence, Group by, and Chart Type.

  3. The Data Table is the easiest way to analyze and summarize the same values that are represented in the chart above. The grid icon in the top right corner of the table, provides a simple way for users to copy and paste values out of Trovata.


Filter your Data (via TQL search)

The top section of the Analysis page is designed to filter data in and out of your results.

You can filter data into Analysis in two ways:

  • 1) Search Bar - enter your search parameters to refine your results below. Alternatively, click the query builder icon on the right side of the search bar to assist with selecting your properties and values individually.

    • You can view a comprehensive list of all TQL search properties here.

  • 2) Date Picker - click the date range and add a start date & end date or choose a recommended date range from the list on the left side of this dropdown.


Configure your Analysis

Click the icon in the top right corner of the Analysis page to expand the configuration panel.
