Total lifetime saves

Hi Everyone!

I am Sanjeev. I am here to know regarding total lifetime saves from recent activity. what does it mean?

is it a good sign for a freelancer with less work history? is there anyone who can give me useful information regarding this topic?

Thank You.

It means that a client has bookmarked your profile, presumably with the thought that they might go back to it later for an invite or hire. Yes, it's a good thing, but there's no guarantee that anything will come of it.

Is there any chance you could post a screenshot showing "total lifetime saves"?

It's on your "who viewed my profile" page

Hello Mam,

Thank you for your prompt response. 

My profile got 5 views this week as per the Upwork stats report and 1 total lifetime saves which is better than the earlier reports (0 views).

I'm wondering about the wording: "Total lifetime saves from recent activity."

 

Only one number appears there.

 

It makes me wonder is that the "total lifetime saves"... meaning the total number of times a client has saved my profile? The total throughout the lifetime of my account?

 

Or is that only the total from recent activity?

Thank you for your help.

One day Upwork will (maybe) employ someone with the requisite English skills to go over the entire User Interface and fix the wording...

 

Like you, I have no idea what it means, as "lifetime" and "from recent activity" are mutually exclusive and the phrase (next to an empty graph, no less) makes absolutely no sense in any way, shape or form at all.

That's weird - my graph isn't empty. When I hover over the data points, they turn into links, but nothing happens when I click on them. I guess they're still working on this feature?

Why do you have pretty graph and I have no graph? 

I want my graph.

I paid for my graph

They took away my graph for NO REASON

Me neither. Zero saves, and my profile views are even lower than yours. It's pretty traumatic, isn't it?

This is very rude! This is the worst thing that has happened to me all day. I'd mention ice cream, but I know that's against the rules.

Hi Sanjeev,

 

Thank you for your interest. Note that Total Saved refers to the number of times the freelancer’s profile was saved since they registered. Our team is planning on updating the "recent" reference in the description of the metric, we apologize for the confusion it has created.
