Measurements

Decision Insights supports several measurement types for analyzing decision service performance. Each measurement type determines how data can be aggregated, grouped, and displayed through specific visualization types.

The following tables show the supported combinations of aggregations, group-by fields, and charts.

Metric

A metric represents a calculated value based on data items, constants, or computed expressions. Metrics can represent counts, averages, or other summary values.

Table 1. Metric visualization options
Aggregations No group by One group by Two group by Three or more group by
One aggregation Gauge (radial), Gauge (linear), Text, Table Pie, Donut, Bar, Text, Table Hierarchical pie, Bar, Heat map, Table Hierarchical pie, Table
Two aggregations Table Scatter, Table Table Table
Three aggregations Table Bubble, Table Table Table

Period Metric

A period metric is a time-based metric that uses a timestamp field to show values over time.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI)

A KPI tracks progress toward a specific performance objective. KPIs are useful for highlighting key results or threshold-based performance targets.

Period KPI

A period KPI measures performance over a defined time interval. It combines KPI evaluation with time-based visualization.

Data Table

A data table displays selected data fields and calculated values in a tabular format. It is useful for comparing related results or listing multiple metrics. HTTPS URLs in data table cells appear as links that you can click. A confirmation dialog appears the first time that you open a link for a domain before you navigate outside Decision Intelligence. Links from confirmed domains open without the dialog, which appears again only for new domains.

Visualization type: Table only.

Drill-down

You can use a drill-down measurement to explore data progressively, moving from summary information to detailed subsets. It can be applied to charts such as Bar, Pie, Line, or Scatter to visualize relationships across levels.

Supported drill-down by measurement type:

  • Metric: Pie, Donut, Bar

  • Period metric: Bar, Line, Heat map, Scatter

  • KPI: Bar

  • Period KPI: Bar, Line
