Visual Discovery - Outlier Finder
The Visual Discovery Outlier Finder performs analysis
to quickly identify over-achieving and under-achieving measures
along any of the dimensions you have configured. The resulting analytical
data is displayed in multiple graphs on the Outlier Finder panel.
These graphs include:
-
Line chart. This
graph shows actual versus target performance over the selected time
range.
-
Bar chart. This
graph shows the extent and groupings of actual versus target performance
across the selected dimension over the selected time range.
-
Pie chart. This
graph shows the relationship of the individual shares of the total
achieved for each grouping in the selected dimension.
-
True Histogram chart. This
graph shows a schematic of the entire range of values.
When analyzing the graphs, you can interactively change the data
displayed in these graphs by changing the selected Measure, Dimension,
and Time range criteria. To find outlier data, use the True Histogram
chart by selecting and dragging a range of values from either the
trailing left edge of the chart to see underachieving outliers or
the leading right edge to see overachieving outliers. The Pie chart
identifies which Dimension groupings hold those values, and the
Bar and Line charts show the relationships of actual to targets
for those values.

metrics with a sufficient amount of data values are made available
for you to perform this type of analysis.
-
Select
the desired dimension to analyze from the Dimension drop-down list,
then select a dimension value from the drop-down list to the right,
or select All to analyze data at the top
level of the selected dimension.
-
Select
the desired time range to analyze from the Time range drop-down list.
(The default time range value is All.)
