Data best suited for
|
An interactive summary and bar chart is most commonly used when data greatly varies across time and multiple categories can
be defined (to represent the different
bars). This chart can also be used with ranges by representing the length of each bar as the progress made toward a certain
range value. Because the interactive summary and bar chart has many components, be sure to identify what role each value or data
point plays in the chart and think about how to display the value or data point.
|
Not suited for
|
The indicator data must be suitable for a bar chart. Indicator data that returns a single row and that is suitable for a
KPI indicator is not suitable for this indicator.
|
Target audience
|
This indicator type is appropriate for all user audiences. Most people find this indicator type familiar and easy to interpret.
The ability to choose the time period that is displayed by the chart
provides value and relevance to the user.
|
Data aggregation support
|
This indicator type averages the applicable indicator data.
Note: The detail bar chart always averages the data. However, you
can select the aggregation method to use when summarizing data for
the summary chart in the indicator. The default selection is Sum.
