Analyzing a Weighted List Viewer widget
A Weighted List Viewer widget combines the data visualization techniques of
thresholds and graphical weighting into a single visualization. This enables
you to assess the performance of a group of items.
Thresholds in the widget highlight rows based on the value of the first metric
on the Grid/Graph report that contains the widget. Specifically, rows are
highlighted according to the range of values from the first metric on the
Grid/Graph report’s columns. The rows are also ordered automatically so
that metrics that are performing well are at the top and metrics that are
performing poorly are at the bottom. A stacked bar graph is included next to
the grid; it indicates the relative contribution, or weight, of each row.
In summary, the Weighted List Viewer widget has the following
characteristics:
• A grid that provides attribute and metric values with threshold colors
applied to the values from top to bottom. The color bands on the grid
reflect the range of values of the first metric on the Grid/Graph report
that contains the widget.
In the example above, the top rows are green and represent the maximum
value of the Order Count metric. The next rows are black, denoting
neutral metric values, and gradually change into the red of the bottom
rows. Red represents the minimum range of values of the Order Count
