Settings #
- Filters: Filter the data you wish to use for the analysis, for instance: apply a time filter to select cases from a specific time period or select cases with a specific attribute (region, company, etc).
- Category: Select how to breakdown your cases. To analyze cases by Region, select Region attribute.
- Period: Select the time interval to use for selecting data, i.e. monthly, weekly or yearly.
