Within the domains daisy chain, click on any component group to reveal its available components.

Understanding the Component Page Layout
Each component page gives you a consistent set of tools and information:

Also at the top-left, this shows when the data for the component was last updated. - Filter Bar
Located at the top-left of the component page, below the data refresh time. Use this to drill into data by site, specialty, and more.
- Chart Series Toggle
Below most charts, you’ll find clickable legends. Click on a label to isolate that series in the chart. - Activate
Click the purple Activate button in the top-right of a tile to open it in full screen. This unlocks options to export, share, add to a MyList/MyProject/MyHub, or set a Monitor Goal or Improvement Target.
