Inside that rectangle,
members are shown in rectangles, and the size of each member rectangle is
determined by a measure selected by the user. Each rectangle, however, is color
coded, based on another measure also selected by the user. This means that the
size of the rectangle might represent sales, so larger rectangles are good. The color
coding might be controlled by the margin, so those with the highest margins stand
out, as do those with the lowest margins.
Starting the Performance Map is done by selecting the down arrow next to the
View button and choosing Advanced Analysis Tools and then Performance Map. If
the developer has reset the values and has the Big Blue Bar when the Performance
Map is launched, it will be a rather uninteresting single color and just show the name
of the measure. At the top of this large green box are some options that need to be set
to get the full value out of the Performance Map.
The first item is a box labeled Show. This box determines what will be shown in
the Performance Map. Clicking on it shows a list of the hierarchies, both attribute
and navigational, so the user is free to choose the members for just about anything.
Note that measures do not show up in the list, and one or more of the dimensions
might be grayed out. If one or more dimensions are grayed out, it means they are in
the columns for the view. This will be addressed in a moment. For this example, the
user will select the Product Categories hierarchy and choose the Subcategory level.
