When you click an Objective drill-down hyperlink, for example, in the Stop Light view, and select Show Measures (Curr vs. Prev), the drill down takes you to the Show Measures view, which displays the heading "Measures - Compare to Previous." In this view, current measures (Percent Reached, Target, Actual) are compared to previous measures for the selected objective, as shown in the following image.

This view compares data for current and previous time periods which can be year over year, quarter over quarter, or month to previous month depending on the time window that is configured. PMF also provides measures for the previous year total, same quarter in previous year, and same month in previous year.

From the Show Measures view, you can select the Measure Details drill-down option in any of the columns displaying Current and Previous data. This option takes you to another view that provides statistical data at the lowest atomic measure level for the related metric. For details, see Measure Details.

The Show Measures view also enables you to drill into the properties for any item in the Measure column to display additional views that show how the measure was loaded, what calculations were used to create it, and so on. To display additional data related to a measure, click a hyperlinked item in the Measure column and select the desired option. For a list of the available drill-down options, see Measure Drill-Down Options.

Measures History provides a documented history of the changes made to the measures used by your organization. Any time a measure is modified, a record is inserted into this view, showing important information related to the change. This information includes the name and user ID of the person who made the change, measure name, change date, measure creation (As of) date, owner of the measure, actual and target measure values, and optional comments.

To run Measures History, select History in the Type drop-down list of the Analytics tab, select Measures History from the View drop-down list, then click Run. The Measure History Options form enables you to select values for the desired parameters, as shown in the following image.

On the form, you can filter by Time period or other dimension (in the example, by Product, Location, or Organization), select the type of view, how it is sorted, when it is updated, what measure is used, and who updated it, then specify the view title and output display option (browser, PDF, or Excel).
