Metric chart types and templates
IBM® TRIRIGA® Workplace Performance Management products are delivered with a wide range of metric chart types and templates. Metric chart templates are maintained by an Application Administrator.
TRIRIGA Workplace Performance Management includes the following metric chart types and templates:
- Bar
- Displays one or more sets of values by using rectangles whose lengths are proportional to the values.
- Bar that includes percentages
- Converts and displays the values as percentages.
- Bubble
- Displays values in a four-quadrant chart where the upper-right quadrant depicts a positive x-axis and y-axis value. The size of the bubble corresponds to the size of the represented value.
- Circular gauge
- Displays values by using scales in the form of circular arcs. Typically, the scale includes tick marks and their labels.
- Circular gauge that includes percentages
- Converts and displays the values as percentages.
- Line
- Displays changes for a specific set of data. These types of charts are often used to show the changes or trends over time.
- Line/bar combo
- Displays the values of more than one series of data by using different chart types.
- Linear gauge
- Displays values by using scales in a horizontal or vertical orientation. Typically, the scale includes tick marks and their labels.
- Linear gauge that includes percentages
- Converts and displays the values as percentages.
- Pie
- Displays a circular chart in which the relative percentages of the values are represented by wedges or slices of the pie.
- Pyramid
- A variation on the bar chart that displays values by using pyramidal shapes instead of rectangular bars to achieve an alternative expression of the data.
Among the available metric chart types and templates, TRIRIGA Workplace Performance Management has standardized the following bar chart types for consistency and ease of use:
- Horizontal grouped bar
- Used for value-based metrics where the metric value is expressed as a non-percentage, for example, $/Rentable Square Foot. This bar chart type contains extra functions that display the threshold lines and that color the bars based on their relationship to the threshold targets.
- Horizontal grouped bar that includes percentages
- Used for value-based metrics where the metric ratio is expressed as a percentage, for example, Occupancy Rate (%). This bar chart type contains extra functions that display the threshold lines and that color the bars based on their relationship to the threshold targets.
- Horizontal stacked bar
- Used for value-based metrics where the primary bar has subcomponents, for example, Cost of Operations (USD/Rentable Square Foot) with breakdown of Expense Types.
- Line/bar combo
- Used for actual versus budget metrics.
- Vertical grouped bar
- Used for Time Capture drill path where the metric value is expressed as a non-percentage, for example, $/Rentable Square Foot.
- Vertical grouped bar that includes percentages
- Used for Time Capture drill path where the metric ratio is expressed as a percentage, for example, Occupancy Rate (%).
For consistency in an organization, metric chart templates are maintained by an Application Administrator by using the menu.
