Once you’ve set the parameters you’d like to use for the Most Popular Titles lane (details here), you’ll see a pie graph along with a slider type view of the relevant cover images for the included titles.
The pie graph portions out the titles according to your own shop’s activity (see here to learn about the Activity Index).
You’ll see Fresh/Hot titles in the green slice.
The Yellow shows the Not In/On Order titles.
The red slice indicates titles that are Not In Stock.
The bright blue slice indicates In Stock, Stale/Cool titles.
The darker gray-blue area contains In Stock/Stable titles.
Under each cover image, you’ll see a number with a color-coded ‘flame’ icon. (That color will correspond with the color-coded portion of the pie graph.) Hover your mouse over (or click) the flame to see details about this title–both your own activity and aggregated market data:
The “2″ Shelf Days number indicates a low index number, which is good. In this case, 2 copies on hand, with 1 copy sold a day ago. This is an active/hot title.

The icons above the circled portion in the image above indicate standard Edelweiss functions, including Tags, Shelves, Reviews, Notes, Collections, and Export functions. (links needed)
