ADVANCED METRIC FUNCTIONS

Figure 2 - Blank Dossier

In today’s project we will focus on creating a basic grid visualization and creating new metrics. Once you are logged in and have your new dossier started it should resemble the image above in Figure 2.

CONTENTS PANEL Dossiers are organized into chapters and pages. Each chapter can contain one or multiple pages. Each page can contain multiple visualizations. This is useful when narrating a story or by simply breaking up key metrics. I went ahead and added titles to my chapter and page 1 to easily refence them later. I would suggest doing this for each topic we cover. ADDING EXISTING METRICS To add metrics, click on the three dots located near Bank Data and Edit Dataset.

Figure 3 - Edit Dataset

In the top right of the Edit Dataset section there is a drop-down menu where one can switch the search form Attributes, Metrics, Public Object to Personal Object. Just below the drop-down is a search bar where you can type-in your key words to find the desired metrics. On the right side of the window are the attributes and metrics already in your dossier dataset. Add metrics to your dataset by double-clicking on the metric name or by dragging the metric into your dataset objects. After selecting the desired metrics update the dataset. For most of these sections we will use the following metrics: 5584, 5586, 5588, and E013.
