The report wizard is split up into four steps with the last step being optional.

You can always go back and change what you have selected; either by clicking on the different steps or circles on the progress bar to the left or click on your selections or titles in the report overview bar on the right. You will also be able to directly remove selections in the report overview bar on the right.

Step 3 Next is choosing the metrics you would like to measure (max 5). The metrics are split up into six categories from which you are free to choose from if you have the necessary agreement and modules purchased.

Step 4 Once selected click ‘Next’ which then will take you to the period selection

Step 8 Click ‘Select value’ and choose what kind of value you would like to see in your report e.g., the sum or average

Step 9 Once selected, you have the option to either finish the report as it is by clicking ‘Save and view report’ or click the optional button ‘Graph Visuals’ where you can customize the visuals in your report.

 

 

Step 10 In this step you choose whether you wish to have both a chart and a table in your report.

2. Click ‘view report’ to finish up the report or click ‘Next’ if you wish to customize the report more. 

Step 11 In the next step you choose what kind of chart you want displayed in your report.

You’ll see a table where you can see each metric you have chosen. For each metric you can change the graph type and choose whether you want the metrics to have their own y-axis (recommended). If you have chosen a compare, you will be able to change the compare graph here as well.

 To change the graph for a metric:

1. Find the metric of which you would like to change the graph.
2. Click on the graph icon and select another graph.
3. Click ‘Save and view report’ to finish up the report or click ‘Next’ if you wish to customize the report more.

In the visuals column you can enable/disable the following settings:

• Show diff/index on chart (See the difference/index on your chart)
• Show weather (See the weather forecast displayed both on the chart and on the table)
• Show events (See events happening on your chart. You can click on the ‘Events’ menu on the navigation bar on top to create events)
• Set target (Here you can set a target which will be displayed as a straight line on the chart)

 In the data column to the right, you can enable/disable the following settings:

• Show diff instead of index (Here you can switch between seeing index numbers or difference)
• Skip sources with empty data (If enabled sources with no data will be left out of the report)
• Exclude 0’s in average calculation (If enabled all 0’s in the data will be excluded from the average calculation)
