Overview
Trending tables allow users to analyze how objects or values change over multiple timeframes. For example, trending tables could be used by:
- Risk users who compare the current risk score to previous risk scores within a specific timeframe.
- Risk executives to run a repeatable form on a report to review how their top 10 risks are trending.
- Incident users to compare the number incidents logged at a specific location and timeframe.
- Users who review dashboard reports to identify important trends in the data (e.g., Incidents by Location).
Trending data is displayed as a line graph and table on a form and can be configure by weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, or annual time periods.
Clicking the + Show More link, will display 12 additional data points based on the timeframe you set.
