There are different types visualisations available on the dashboards, here’s a quick description of various visualisations along with information on how and when to use them,
Breakdown analysis (without grouping)
This is a common bar chart, used to compare values of metrics against a dimension. Dimension here is shown on Y-axis, and Metric is shown on the X-axis. Depending on total value of the metric corresponding to a specific dimension, bar width is determined. e.g. Below is the Breakdown visualisation where average performance score (metric) is compared against organisation/function (dimension) which employee belongs to.
Breakdown analysis (with grouping)
This is very similar to Breakdown analysis mentioned above, with one small change. Here metrics can be grouped against more than one dimensions. This analysis only works when metric is of count type (No. of employees, no. of goals etc.) and not with average type (Average score, Average progress level etc.) e.g. in below example, headcount/ no. of employees (metric) is compared agains organisation/ function (dimension) which employee belongs to and overall review rating scale (dimension) employee has received in the selected time period.
