And, these dashboards need to be able to customize in all means and have a nice intuitive UI - which you have succeeded with! Keep up the good work ;) Wow-GA is really catching up, have missed the scheduled email functionality until now – even though I preffer to grant access and reffer to online dashboards.

One thing I've noticed that is a bit of a bugger is that Firefox sometimes crashes on loading certain graphs - but that could just be my computer, which is known to get rather grumpy sometimes. Overall, this is a huge step forward for the product. My favorite feature is the ability to add up to 12 panels to the new dashboard. You can take any report and customize if using segmentation and quick filters, then pin it to the dashboard and voila, you have a custom dashboard that can speak to just about anything a client needs. The emailing and scheduled emails are also incredibly useful. As I've been using the new design more and more I get more excited about this and future iterations of the GA product. -Caleb Brian,

The program is still in beta so yes there will be a few glitches to iron out. Hi Sampsa – have you sent these comments to GA support?

First of all, there are a lot of errors coming up when using the new interface. It's faster, but more prone to errors. Also, I tried to add another dashboard to a previously scheduled email report, but the system just gave an error. Other than that, I really think it's a huge improvement, although it took me a while to find everything again. After I got used to it, the improved speed of the new interface was obvious. The chance to export data in PDF and to email reports is great and I think will serve several users needs for basic reports without a fuss.
