You can refine these tables using the time picker and the metric toggle, located under the destination header. With the time picker, you can specify a time period (last 10 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 2 weeks, or a custom date range over the last two weeks) for which you'd like to see data. With the metric toggle, you can switch between seeing metrics represented as percentages (for example, *85% of events* or *a 133% increase in events*) or as counts (*13 events* or *an increase of 145 events*.) Delivery Overview shows percentages by default.

### Pipeline view

The pipeline view provides insights into each step your data is processed by enroute to the destination, with an emphasis on the steps where data can be discarded due to errors or your filter preferences. Each step provides details into counts, change rates, and event details (like the associated Event Type or Event Names), and the discard steps (Failed on ingest, Filtered at source, Filtered at destination, & Failed delivery) provide you with the reasons events were dropped before reaching the destination.

Delivery Overview applies a 5-minute lookback period to provide stable, accurate metrics across all pipeline steps. This interval accounts for processing delays and ensures the data Segment displays reflects a reliable snapshot of recent events.

Actions destinations also include a mapping dropdown, which allows you to select a [mapping](/docs/connections/destinations/actions/#customize-mappings) to filter the events in the Filtered at destination, Failed delivery and Successful delivery pipeline steps. The following image shows an Actions destination filtered to include only Track Page View events in the last three pipeline steps:
