Reporting templates make it possible to define on a document, or at lower levels, analysis perimeters on which it is possible to choose indicators and visualize elements.
As we can see on the attached graph, it is therefore the assembly of 3 elements:
- scope of analysis,
- key indicators,
- data visualisation
that define each level of a reporting template.
By default, nothing is filtered. The scope of analysis is made up of all the comments from the dataset. When a filter is applied to a defined level, the analysis is refined on this level and all calculations are automatically performed on this new perimeter. 3 types of information can be used to reduce the scope of analysis :
- The period is accessible in the Date range tab of the Settings. This period is necessarily a followed period, i.e. either the global period of the project (by default), or a pre-calculated period (month, quarter, year), or finally a personalized period (you define a start date and an end date among the existing dates of the available data).
- One or more themes (categories, sub-categories or sub sub-categories) (Categorization) accessible from the last tab by clicking on Filters > Categories and applying the priority rules previously seen in the Getting Started Guide - Chapter II. (Filter Information - Multi-filters)
- One or more key criteria (other filters) such as geographical, customer segmentation, language or data source.
This same principle applies throughout the entire platform.
