Top & Bottom Analysis widget mechanism

The Top & Bottom Analysis widget highlights your business’s best and worst performers based on a selected metric such as the revenue, profit margin, or cost.

When you access the report from the dashboard, these mechanisms apply:

  • The selected metric in the Metrics Table widget determines data that is rendered in this widget.
  • The reporting and comparison periods are inherited from the application context.
  • The Entity dimension that is displayed in the Chart section 1 is the default dimension. You can change it with the Analyze By function.
  • Change of the application context or selected metric in the Metrics Table widget updates the Top & Bottom Analysis widget.

Example

  2. Click Expand To. Chart section 2 is displayed and shows business units within the top 5 entities.
  3. Click Expand To. Chart section 3 is displayed and shows regions within the business units.
