Session Density Heat Map

The Session Density Heat Map provides a detailed view of session activity by hour and day. Each sector of the heat map is color-coded to indicate session density, with darker shades representing higher activity. You can filter the data by date range, member tier, and device type. Key metrics such as total sessions, average daily sessions, and average session length are also displayed. This report is useful for identifying the most active periods and optimizing resource allocation.

• Last 7 days 
• Last 30 days
• Last 60 days
