The terms for both the Blast Metrics and Audience pages are listed in alphabetical order below:
Audience

EX: If 7 Blasts were delivered to your Audience Members during the last two weeks (14 days), the Blast volume would be .5 Blasts per day.
Click Rate
The unique rate that Audience Members who opened a Blast clicked the links inside of it.
