Active Users

|---|---|---|
| Daily Active Users (DAU) | Line | Unique users per day based on pageview events |
| Weekly Active Users (WAU) | Line | Rolling 7-day unique users |
| Monthly Active Users (MAU) | Line | Rolling 30-day unique users |
| DAU / WAU / MAU | Combo | Combined chart showing all three active user metrics together |
DAU / WAU / MAU is the recommended starting metric — it gives a complete engagement picture in a single chart and pairs well with a daily or weekly Slack delivery.

| New Users | Bar | Users who performed the event and were created during the interval |
| Retained Users | Bar | Users active in both the previous and current interval |

| Dormant Users | Bar | Users active in the previous interval but inactive in the current one |
| Growth Accounting | Stacked Bar | Combined chart showing all four lifecycle stages |
