# Watch today's visits and payments on the live map

The Live Dashboard tab shows what is happening on your website today. Visits, sign-ups and payments appear on a globe and in a feed as they are recorded.

## Open the live map

1. **Select Live Dashboard in the tabs at the top.** On Dashboard, Open live view under the summary goes to the same place.

2. **Keep Live activity selected.** Active now counts people with a recorded visit or goal in the last five minutes. The view refreshes every 15 seconds while it is visible. Use Pause to stop refreshing.

3. **Choose All activity, Visits, Sign-ups, Leads, Payments, Refunds or Other goals.** The globe markers and the Latest activity feed follow your choice. Visitor labels help you follow an anonymous visitor; they are not a person's name.

4. **Choose Countries, Regions or Cities above the globe.** Countries shows country-level activity. Cities places matched cities on the globe. Regions adds regional boundaries and city activity; it does not give complete regional totals.

Example: the live map with all of today's activity. Use the filter buttons to show only payments, refunds or another kind of event.

Live Dashboard → Watch visits become customers: The live map is the first card on the Live Dashboard tab. The overview shows the globe and the Latest activity feed; the controls above them are enlarged below.

1. **Open Live Dashboard** Or select Open live view under the summary on Dashboard.
2. **Choose today or your dates** Live activity shows today. Revenue by location shows sales by place for the dates you chose.
3. **Show one kind of event** Payments or Refunds limits the map and the feed to those events. All activity shows everything.
4. **Choose the map detail** Countries, Regions or Cities changes how places are drawn on the globe.

## Focus on one place

1. **Choose a country or city in Fly to.** The globe turns to it, a summary card appears under the map, and the feed shows only that place. Select the x on the place's button in the filter row to return to all locations.

2. **Drag to turn the globe and scroll or pinch to zoom.** Use Spin for rotation, North Pole or South Pole for a different angle, and the plus and minus buttons to zoom. Keyboard users can use the arrow buttons and the Fly to menu.

3. **Select Locate latest arrival to find the newest visitor.** View all locations lists every recorded place.

Example: London was chosen in Fly to. The globe turns to it and the card underneath shows its visitors, sign-ups, payments and net revenue today.

Live Dashboard → Cities → Fly to: The overview shows the whole live card after choosing a city, including the filtered Latest activity feed. The map controls are enlarged below.

1. **Select Cities** Places matched cities on the globe. Unknown cities stay at country level.
2. **Turn the globe** Spin rotates it. You can also drag to turn and scroll or pinch to zoom.
3. **Fly to a place** Pick a country or city to move the globe there and filter the feed to it.

## Count your own sign-ups and leads

1. **Open Choose which goals count as sign-ups and leads under the map.**

2. **Leave the fields blank, or enter the goal names you already track.** Blank fields use common names such as signup and lead_submitted. This changes how the map counts goals you already record; it does not install goal tracking.

## Keep today and your chosen dates apart

Live activity uses today in your website's reporting time zone, whatever dates you picked at the top. Totals include all of today's recorded activity, while the feed shows the latest 80 events.

Select Revenue by location to see sales by place for the dates you picked. The cards under the map, such as Best Channels and Best Countries, also use your chosen dates.

> **What the map can tell you** Locations are approximate. Matched cities use published city centers; unknown or ambiguous cities stay at country level. Payments may have no matching visit or location. Active now means recent recorded activity; it does not confirm that someone still has your page open.

## You are done when

You can show only today's payments on the map and find which city they came from.
