The Trade and Category Analysis tab provides a view of your facilities spend on the top 10 trades and categories by total invoice amount. You can quickly see which trades and categories your facilities budget was allocated to over the past 365 days, by default. Use the all-inclusive filters along the top of the report to change the date range, or to focus on specific Location information (Region, District, or specific Location).
You can download the data and email reports to recipients.
There are 4 visualizations in this report:
- Invoice Totals by Trade - Top 10 by Total Invoice Amount
- Avg Invoice Amt by Trade - Top 10 by Total Invoice Amount
- Total Invoice Amt by Category - Top 10 by Total Invoice Amount
- Avg Invoice Amt by Category - Top 10 by Total Invoice Amount
For all visualizations, both voided work orders and work orders with an empty Status are excluded.
Commonly Used Features
Below is a quick reference guide regarding tracking numbers in Analytics, filtering, sorting, downloading data, and sending reports.
Tracking Numbers in Analytics
Throughout Analytics you can drill down into visualizations to see the underlying data. In most cases, the tracking numbers related to that data are listed. You can click the tracking number to navigate straight to the work order details in Service Automation.
Filtering Dashboards
On top of the report are all-inclusive filters to help you hone in on key data. All reports on the page are affected by the criteria set in these all-inclusive filters.
The filter criteria for each dashboard may differ. Filters reset to the default when the page is refreshed.
Click filter field to show the criteria.
Select the desired criteria to include or exclude:
To Include criteria: select is equal to, contains, starts with, or ends with, and then begin typing the criteria in the picklist. Select the desired criteria (or multiple criteria) from the picklist.
To exclude criteria: select is not equal to, does not contain, does not start with, or does not end with.
Is null depicts the absence of data in a data set. Conversely, is not null depicts the presence of data
To include or exclude data without a certain data criteria — for example, to select data without a Region or District assigned in Service Automation — choose is blank / is not blank.
To add more options, click the plus sign (+) next to a field to add another option to the filter. The new option will appear as either an OR condition or an AND condition, depending on the type of filter option.
Once all criteria are selected, click Refresh icon in the top-right corner. The Dashboard report updates with the selected criteria.
