Live settings
- Display top: Display the top number of gainers or losers based on the numeric drop-down list on the left.
- Exclude bottom (%): 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: Determines if the Analytics data shown in the overlay automatically updates when a new period is computed.
- Auto update period: When checked, refreshes the page with each new data retrieval so the links on the page are more closely synced with collected data.
