Concept: Analytic Indicators

Concept: Analytic Indicators

Analytic indicators enable you to analyze your data quickly by viewing visual representations in your report. You can create and use report-specific or tenant-wide analytic indicators to:
  • Display ratings.
  • Highlight data exceptions.
  • Illustrate progress.
  • Indicate status.
  • Monitor thresholds.
  • Visually categorize and group data.
Consider these conditions when using analytic indicators:
  • For the
    Total
     row in advanced reports, analytic indicators display only on aggregated fields.
  • If you select
    is empty
     as the
    Condition
    , Workday doesn't display the analytic indicator visualization for empty data in multi-instance or single instance fields.
  • In the
    Drill to Detail
     view for advanced, matrix, and simple reports, Workday might base analytic indicator conditions on fields other than the field associated with the analytic indicator.
  • In the matrix view for matrix reports, analytic indicators display only on aggregated fields.
  • Workday doesn't support analytic indicators for rich text field types.
  • You can configure only 1 analytic indicator for a column on a report.
