Affinity Analysis

This section addresses MBI analysis. The functionality described here includes creating custom runs and comparing the results of multiple runs.

System runs are executed automatically once a week as part of the weekly batch cycle using settings that have been configured for a specific level of the location hierarchy. Since system runs occur weekly, they can be used to examine results over a long period of time.

User runs can be run at any time by an individual user who specifies the settings for the run.

Two types of comparison are available: Compare Runs and Compare Results.

Use Compare Runs to select specific runs to compare. This comparison is useful for straightforward runs such as comparing the results of two different months.

Use Compare Results to compare system runs only, with specified dates and other filters. In this case, take care in selecting runs that overlap, as some runs may be represented in the results more than once.
