Stats dropdown open by default

I’m not sure how others feel about this, but I dislike that the Stats display is always on and has to be clicked to get it out of the way–rather constantly. It’s handy enough to open it via a single click rather than clicking it again and again and again to close it.

P.S. It appears Pacifier City has the same thought at the same time, but I can’t delete this post even a half minute after posting it.

Hey Zazzle Team,

I don’t know if this was intentional, but it creates extra scrolling to get down to products.  If it only happened when I first visited my product page, I’d get over it, close it and move on, but every time I refresh my product page it is open again.

I have all the stats selected that I want to see, so it doesn’t make sense in my mind to have it open every time I go to the product page.  Hopefully you will agree and revert it back to behave as it used too.

Thanks for reading,

PC

Add me to list to not being a fan of it.. Would really appreciate the stats being unselected and it’s our choice to click and open if we so desire.

It appears you and I are of the same mind. I posted the same thing right after you did.

I see what you mean but I bet it’s intentional for now, to make the Instant Download settings obvious.

I very much dislike it, it should be hidden by default, click to view it. Zazzle, please change it.

We made this change based on feedback that we received. Creators are continuing to wonder how to view digital and adjust their digital products, and expanding the dropdown allows them to see the new tools. In the future we may revert back to keeping it collapsed.

I was going crazy this morning, trying to figure out how to close it. In my opinion, it is so distracting and it’s just creating another unnecessary click. I vote to have it where we can either choose to keep it open or closed or maybe just have it on the first page of the products, in the back-end or go back to collapsed.

I agree, the always visible box is distracting.

My bigger problem is that the stats under the products are in a different order now and I can’t seem to get used to that lol

Me too, sales used to be above views. I look at it and say wow I got 3 sales, then remember oh that’s the views.

I’m the opposite. 

I’d like to see the digital stats listed WITH/AT the same time as the printed stats, because it seems that the sorting gets kind of hairy when you are looking for one vs the other, or want to think about both at the same time. 

Maybe an all or nothing thing would be nice at some point - turn off all stats, or turn on all (including digital) stats?

I hear you! It’s so annoying. It’s taking up a huge chunk of screen real estate, and it’s so in your face. It’s also an extra step to turn it off before you can actually start doing anything you planned to do in the first place. It’s driving me nuts, tbh.

I can understand what Scott said, given all the questions that have been coming in. The problem is that we quickly become used to how to do whatever it might be, and thereafter, the rather large dropdown has to be closed every single time we go to do anything in the back end, even change the page. A compromise would be a blessing.

With the addition of the ‘Instant Download Settings’, the Statistics, Product Visibility’ drop down section no longer stays in the closed position.  When I close it then refresh the page the section now automatically reopens. Lather rinse repeat.  Please fix it! Thanks

I noticed that too. I wonder if they did it on purpose to make sure that everyone sees the new functionality.

Wow.  So @Scott says this a feature, not a bug. :flushed_face: My feedback: Having seen it once, I now know the feature is there. I don’t need to see it again.  Not being able to close it until I want it open again is just plain annoying.  Please let us default to the closed position ASAP

Please make this “feature” an option in settings…or something like that…it’s a distraction and ugly the way it is now.
