Changing How Horizon Keeps Statistics for Each Category

You can change how Horizon keeps statistics for each category. You can control these features for each statistical category:

Retention days. You can change the number of days you want to retain statistics.
Time unit. You can change the time unit you want used for tracking statistics.
Days until Collapse. You can change the time that elapses before daily statistics are collapsed and how you want them collapsed.

For example, if hourly circulation statistics from last month are taking up too much space, you may want to summarize [or collapse] them into the number of items circulated on a certain day of the week or even in the entire month of August.)

Once you have collapsed statistics you cannot reverse the process. (For example, if you collapse daily statistics into monthly statistics, you can no longer view statistics for a specific day within that month.)

Report label. You can change the label you want to appear on each section in this report.
