How to read the Benchmark Panel in Trends Tab

We've recently viewed the Trends Tab after specifying additional information for our game. We noticed that there are panels for benchmarking some of the metrics. With this, I would like to ask for clarification on how the benchmark panel should be read. Based on its presentation, the right side of the bar seems to denote higher values. Does this mean the higher numerical value of the rank corresponds to higher rank? (e.g. A rank 50th game has higher retention than rank 1st game).

Also, what does the blue cursor represent? In our retention, the blue cursor seems to point at a position before rank X but the tooltip says our game is ranked X to X+5.

Thank you very much.

Here is an example.

First of all, the Banchmark is based on the value of Avg D30, and if the value is 0.00%, it will be placed at 25^th, while if the value is 1.98%, the title retention will be placed at 75^th. As you can see the value now is 4.75% which means the position will be around 85^th-90^th.

For the blue cursor, you may enable only one data each time so that It will be clear to read. Take the screenshot attached as an example (D1), assuming there are some players logged in on Apr. 13^th , besides newly created players, there are 33.3% of players that are created on Apr. 12^th and logged in on Apr. 13^th. This data indicates the percentage of those players who returned to the game next day.

Recently we have a thread discussing about retention report, you can see more details there : https://community.playfab.com/questions/28978/trends-preview-retention-and-retention-report-does.html.

If you have any further questions, feel free to add comments.
