ERGOMETRICS
Product Information
The ERGOMETRICS
dashboard application uses a mouse driven graphical user interface and
represents numerical data in gauge and graph formats.
The Gauge Explanation details the structure of the ERGOMETRICS
gauge.
Drill Down links can be set from any Gauge to any one or multiple Dashboards
(i.e. down, across or up multiple paths - groupings to sub groupings,
and/or geographic hierarchies). Dashboards, Gauges and Graphs can be copied
into any report from the Dashboard Viewer for distribution. Specific procedural
activities are implied by the performance reporting of each gauge and
also set in the Action Set Maintenance function of the software.
