time span KPI managment

Hi Marco,

can you please give a little bit more details (an example would be good)? In the feed editor, you will find operators to handle time, which you can use to do calculates like "minus 7 days".

 Hi Sebastian,

thank you for your answer.

I need to represent a time-span KPI (such as a process cycle time). In particular, my datasource is an excel file with a column containing the process cycle time in second.

In Aris PPM, I can define a time-span KPI, so that I can change step width in my reports (e.g from seconds to minutes, hours, ecc.)

Using Mashzone, how can I define a time span KPI? Is there a specific data type?

Thanks

Bye

Hi Marco,

MashZone tries to keep the things as flexible and simple as possible. For that reason there are only three very basis data types: number, text and date.

You could use your second time span with the number datatype. To convert it into minutes or hours, you have to do the Math yourself in the feed by using the Arithmetic operator (divide by 60, divide by 24 etc.)

In the mashapp I would recommend to put the unit of timespan into the axis title of the chart, so that a user directly knows how to interpret the figures.

Regards,

Markus
