Analytics Measures, the studio that turns them into charts, and the boards they live on.
Overview
How a number gets from a definition to a board.
Defining the numbers
The governed layer everything downstream inherits from.
Building
The studio, and the five engines for shapes it does not cover.
- The StudioBuilding a widget without SQL, and why the tool refuses some of the charts you might want.
- PivotsThis by that, in a cross-tab you can flip to a chart, built by picking rather than writing.
- FunnelsHow records move through stages, how long each one takes, and where they stop.
- Analysis and CorrelationOne measure broken down, and whether two measures actually move together.
- AffinityWhat gets bought together, and the honest limits of a basket analysis.
Publishing
Boards people watch, and tables people act on.
Trusting it
Drilling into a number, and finding out why one is empty.
