Data best suited for
|
Use an interactive summary and targeted bar chart when a target for each category (each bar in the chart) clearly needs to
be displayed. If there is no need for this, a regular
interactive summary and bar chart will suffice.
|
Not suited for
|
The indicator data must be suitable for a targeted 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. Associating
the bars in the chart to a target and range enables the user to quickly see the performance of each category.
|

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.
