The available views in Explore Profiles correspond to how you move through your data: from broader to more specific. For example, you can start with All services and then move to Profile types or Labels for more specific views into your data.

This matches the hierarchy of the profiling data.

After you choose a view, you can Investigate trends and spikes.
