  • Metrics:
    • Date Range
      • Metrics will display the current month’s data in the tile view and when opening the modal.
      • To view different periods of data inside the modal, change the date selected.
    • Data Calculations
      • Toggle the Sum (All Periods), Sum (Through Current Period), Average, and Most Recent and/or the View Type.
      • Based on the View Type and Data Mode selected the gauge and bar charts will dynamically adjust its values.
  • Custom Dashboards:
    • Metric Tiles
      • Have the option to create tiles that show various data calculations of a metric in one place.
      • Gauge Chart: the data type and period must be selected. The range is the spread of data that will be used for calculations. The range options available are dependent on the input frequency of the metric. Ranges include Daily, Monthly, and Yearly. The data mode will then draw the chart based on the data set from the range chosen.
      • Example: If a daily metric is selected then the options to choose from are Monthly and Yearly. The current date is March 10. Each day has a data value of 10 Target and 10 Actual, January has 31 days, February has 28, and March has 31 days; the target values have been recorded through the end of March.
        • Select “Current Month”:
          • Sum (All Period): Actual: 100, 32% of Target: 310
          • Sum (Through Current Period): Actual: 100, 100% of Target: 100
          • Average: 10
          • Most Recent: 10
        • Select “Current Year”:
          • Sum (All Period): Actual: 690, 86% of Target: 800
          • Sum (Through Current Period): Actual: 690, 100% of Target: 690
          • Average: 10
          • Most Recent: 10
      • Bonus Gauge Chart: Monthly Metric- Current Month.
        • A monthly input frequency only has one data entry for each month. When Current Month is selected a single data value will be displayed for the gauge chart. There will be no difference between the data modes because there are no calculation that can be run for a single value.
