Description

The new Show Totals Row feature is very valuable. Currently when you click away from a report and reopen it a few seconds or minutes later:

  • Got: you have to click "Show Totals Row" again (and again...) to see the Totals row.
  • Expected: when it was clicked under a particular report, the preference should be remembered and restored on further reloads.

(it is quite a common use case when looking at the "Totals" metric you actually compare this value to other "Totals" or other metrics in different reports.)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the current 'Show Totals Row' toggle is implemented and where its state is stored (likely in localStorage or session). Determine the appropriate mechanism to persist the preference per report ID, possibly using Matomo's settings API or custom database tables. Explore existing patterns in Matomo for saving user preferences.
