Maintaining Bucket Configurations
Several key performance indicators in the analytics product look at measurement values (for example: the age of an asset or the age of debt) classified into a number of pre-defined groups also known as buckets. The overall metric can then be reported by the different buckets and allow various analyses.
For example, the age of an asset can be classified into the following buckets:
-
Less than 6 Months
-
6-12 Months
-
One Year and Older
The age of debt, also known as arrears can be classified onto the following buckets:
-
0-30 Days
-
30-60 Days
-
60-90 Days
-
90+ Days
The definition of the buckets is extracted to the Business Intelligence data warehouse, to be used as dimensions.
Bucket Definition Considerations
Each type of bucket is defined using a bucket configuration Business Object. The bucket definition considerations and/or rules will vary based on the bucket configuration business object used. The business objects available are driven by your specific product. For a list of available bucket configurations business objects, navigate to the business object page and view the business objects for the Bucket Configuration maintenance object.
