Select measures

You can select measures using the measure selection tool in any mode of Salient Dashboards. (This tool may be turned off.)

To select measures

  1. On the widget toolbar, click the button (visible on mouseover). If the widget only has one measure, this will take you directly to the Measures window (Step 3).

  2. In the pop-up menu, check the boxes of the measures to show and clear the boxes of the measures to hide; then, click OK. This menu lists the measures that have been added to the widget. If you don't see the desired measure(s), click on Edit Measures and continue to Step 3.

Note: The ability to edit measures in view mode may be restricted by dashboard or user account settings.

  1. To edit measures: Expand a data category in the left (Available) pane. Then, check the box(es) of the measure(s), or drag a measure to the right (Selected) pane. Click OK when you are finished editing measures. 


 

Tips:

 

In the Measures area:

  • The tools in the right pane allow you to search for a measure, remove a measure, rearrange measures, change measure display settings, create measure groups, and show/hide measures.
  • By default, the available measures depend on the context (data cube, By, etc.). You can check the Show All box at the bottom of the dialog to see all measures regardless of the context. This option also makes key descriptions (e.g., name, address, etc.) and dimensions available (requires that the key list is selected as a Group By).

To hide a subcolumn (e.g., This or Last), click the menu icon   in its heading and select Remove. To add This or Last back, click the menu icon   and select Show This or Show Last.

In an Exception widget, the measure selection tool  lets you show or hide individual exception columns (Passed, Passed %, etc.). The Measures window (i.e., Edit Measures) controls the measures that will be shown in exception lists and/or when Show Comp On Grid is on (in grid settings).
