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 library’s activity (see here to learn about Shelf Days).
You’ll see Fresh/Hot titles in the green slice.
The Yellow shows the Not Owned/On Order titles.
The red slice indicates titles that are Not Owned.
The bright blue slice indicates Owned, Stale/Cool titles.
The darker gray-blue area contains Owned/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 owned, with 1 copy circulated 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.
