Reading the Report

0806 - Report - Weekly Activity Report with toolbar and numbers data types-1

At a glance:

(1) Current Week shows you a graphical representation for three categories of activities:

  • Weekly Check-in's,
  • Weekly Recognition,
  • Weekly 1-1's.
    • Each large colored block displays the total number for that category for the week-to-date. 
    • The x-axis represents the number of items in the category and the y-axis represents the day of the week.
    • Hover over a data point to see the actual count and date for a specific day of the week.

NOTE:  The report week starts on Sunday and ends on Saturday. If the report is opened mid-week, the total number is current from Sunday through the time the report is opened.  

For example, if you open the report on Thursday the total number in the block includes only Sunday through the current time on Thursday.  

 

(2) Historical shows you a high level graphical overview of the three categories over three months. 

  • The three month period displayed is adjacent to the Historical title.

  • The x-axis represents the number of items in the category and the y-axis represents the day of the week.
  • Hover over a data point to see the actual count and date for the specific point of time in the three month span of time.
  • The reporting week starts on Sunday and ends on Saturday. The date given is the Sunday for the week of the date displayed. The count is for all occurrences within that week.
    • For example, in the 1-1's figure below there were a total of 213 1-1's counted for the week of 6/28. Any 1-1 which occurred between Sunday, 6/28, thru Saturday, 7/4, is included in the count.
