Behind the first page which offers a series of general data about the quantity elements ( number of visitors per site, the map of the visitors locations, the sources from which the traffic arrived like keywords and links) are hidden complex reports of the quality elements ( loyalty, AdWords campaign efficiency, the most frequently visited pages, etc…)

For all the data offered you can use the Cross Segment analysis isolating certain segment reports, traffic sources, keywords, visitors, country, town…etc.
