dashboard

detail or add more data with filtering

over” functionality

events, and tasks

tasks

timeline

regional report to view actuals to forecast

Canada. He goes to view a separate report he has on supplier

performance

model and report himself within data coming directly

from stores

of performance

By using additional visualization John can

quickly see the requests and delivered status of his poor performing supplier

John re-opens the discussion from John and

provides feedback

John re-opens the discussion from John and provides

feedback…he is addressing the problem but it will take another quarter to get it fixed. He wants
