Showing Results in Performance Tile Views

A Performance Tile view displays a single aggregate measure value that immediately reveals summary metrics. This view can help to do the following:

• Focus the user's attention on simple, need-to-know facts directly and prominently on the tile.
• Communicate status through simple formatting by using color, labels, and limited styles, or through conditional formatting of the background color or measure value to make the tile visually prominent. For example, if revenue is not tracking to target, then the revenue value may appear in red.
• Respond to prompts and filters to make the results more relevant to the user.
• Support a single, aggregate or calculated value.

You must set up aggregation and filters in the Criteria tab to ensure that the correct measure value is displayed in the tile. If one or more measures are included in the analysis on the Criteria tab, then the first measure on the Criteria tab is selected for the Performance Tile view by default. If no measure has been added to the analysis, then you can add one when you edit the Performance Tile view. You can add multiple Performance Tile views to a compound layout, with one measure displayed in each Performance Tile view.

To edit a Performance Tile view

1. If the view is not already in the compound layout, then add the view.

   For instructions on adding views, see Adding and Editing Views.

   2. To select a different measure from the measures that are already present in the analysis, select the measure from the drop-down list in the Measures drop target.
4. In the Styles pane, select the size for the performance tile and select a theme style.
5. Click the Performance Tile Properties icon in the toolbar.
6. In the Performance Tile Properties dialog box:
   1. Make your selections.
   2. If you want to change the defaults carried over from the Criteria page or to add conditional formatting, then click the Edit Conditional Formatting link to open the Conditional Formatting dialog box.
7. When you finish making changes in the Performance Tile Properties dialog box, click OK.
8. Click Done to close the Performance Tile view editor.
