Stacked Bar Tile

Stacked series in verticle columns showing comparisons between categories of data

The stacked bar tile shows data points in vertical columns that can be viewed as a whole or broken down into multiple components, such as by department or by account.


To create a stacked bar tile, click the Actions button on the upper right of the Dashboard and choose Add New > Tile.

You can also clone or repurpose an existing tile by clicking the EllipsisEllipsis on the existing tile and choosing Edit or Clone

After selecting Create New Tile or Edit for an existing tile, populate a Tile Name and then use the drop-down selections to choose what data will be pulled into the tile.  As shown in the example below, to get an OpEx by Department stacked bar tile, we've selected the "OpEx" general ledger account from the rolling forecast plan for a trailing 6-month view(see: Ranges).​ The Preview area will update as you make selections to show what the tile will look like when finished.


Periodicity
allows you to select Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly or Total.

The Range provides the user the ability to select varying lengths of time. It determines in what month(s) your capture will land in. For example, if you have an offset of -4, this means that you will look 4 months back. Say you have a starting date of September with an offset of -4, you would be looking (back) at data from May 1 forward.

The Display option can be set up us:

  • "Subtotal", which means we are only going to chart the top line, not the children
  • "Children", which means we are only going to chart the children.

Group By can be set by "Department" or "Account".

Show Actuals Until option Determine if all actuals that have been imported should be displayed or just actuals up until the Close Month. Choose Close Month to display actuals only up until the close month or Max to display all actuals available in your account.

The Hide Zeroes option can be enabled or disabled.
