Report Suite
The list of report suites that are accessible to you is no longer limited to the report suites defined in the web page tag. You can now substitute the selected report suite (corresponding to one of the tags on the page) with another report suite. This new report suite does not need to be linked to a tag on the page. If you change the selected report suite in the Activity Map Settings, the Save process causes all affected Analytics reports to be refreshed.
Important: Virtual report suites are not compatible with Live Mode, only with Standard Mode. If you are in Live Mode for a Standard Report Suite, but select a Virtual report suite in this dialog, once you click OK here, the Standard Mode will be displayed. In addition, the Calendar control is reinitialized to match the report suite’s calendar type (Gregorian, retail, custom…).

Display Top
To display the Gainers or Losers (or both) as overlays, select the number of links.
Exclude bottom (%)
Select to eliminate Gainers-Losers links with sparse data. Filter out the bottom percentage of link changes to view only the links with enough data to show relevant gains or losses. The percentage is computed based on the number of links on that page. For example, filtering out the bottom 10% of a list of 200 links would filter out the bottom 20 links.
Auto Update Data
Lets you decide whether or not the Analytics data shown in the interface automatically updates when a new period is computed.
Auto Update Period
