The User screen allows you to visualize differences on your analysis users and select them for further inspection.

The size and tone of the circle are associated by default with the event count of each user (the bigger and darker the bubble, the higher the count). By clicking on a User Circle, you are able to see metrics or filter your analysis to this user (see 6 to 13).
