Waterfall Dashboard Configuration during Deployment

When installing the Sales Insight Accelerator from PlatformManager Marketplace, these are the specifics for the Waterfall dashboard.

1 Datamart Selection
2 Preloaded Template
3 Waterfall Definition Glossary
4 Form Controls
5 Configuration Deployment

Datamart Selection

The initial step to start the waterfall configuration is selection of the source Datamart from which data will be fetched. Sales Insights Accelerator uses its own Datamart called Standard_Sales_Data.

Preloaded Template

If Standard_Sales_Data Datamart is selected, you will be presented with a predefined structure that can be used as a guide for further steps.

Any fields that are not defined in the selected Datamart will be automatically removed from the predefined template.

If configuration of the waterfall step is already present on the partition, it will be loaded instead of the the default template.

Waterfall Definition Glossary

Source – Field from Datamart used to retrieve a value for a given waterfall field.
Label – Allows to define a custom label to the field that is going to be displayed on the chart.
Sum – Defines the field as a sum, i.e. the value of this field will be calculated by summation of all previous fields. The first field cannot be a sum, the last one however must be.
Percent Base – Marks the given field as a percentage base for percentage model calculations. There can be only one percentage base field.
Reverse – Allows to reverse the value of a given field. Useful for creating subtractions if the data is stored in positive values.
For elements with a sub-level, the fields in the sub-level are used for calculation and they should be reversed, not the parent field.
Disabled – Marks the field as disabled. Disabled fields are not shown on the dashboard.
