Overview

Guandata Metric Center is integrated with Guandata BI. Relying on the powerful visualization capability of BI data analysis, it supports directly creating metric analysis cards and Chinese-style reports on the data analysis page. Users can build dashboards through simple metric drag-and-drop operations, reducing the development time from metrics to dashboards and improving the efficiency of business dashboard building.

Create Metric Analysis Card

Enter the Data Analysis module, select the appropriate directory and page, click the New Card button in the upper right corner, and select the Metric Analysis card.
Select the metrics that need to be analyzed in the metric analysis card. You can filter by topic, and only metrics that the current user has permission can be selected.

Note
The card editing page supports selecting multiple metrics.

Select the appropriate visualization chart display method, and configure metric and dimension information.
- Visualization Configuration Description: Metric analysis supports a variety of visualization charts. For detailed usage, see Chart Configuration.
  - Table
    
    Table visualization supports selecting multiple metrics for joint analysis. Metric analysis currently only supports ordinary tables. The attribute configuration capability reuses BI capability.
  - Single Value
    
    Metric cards are suitable for displaying common metric items. According to the prompts in the page, drag the corresponding metric to the drawing area, and set the metric card size, label, icon, etc. in the chart attribute area.
  - Single Bar Chart
    
    Bar charts are used to emphasize the change of metric data over time or other conditions. You can select one metric and one dimension. According to the suggested visualization drawing prompts, drag the corresponding dimension and metric to the drawing area.
  - Single Line Chart
    
    Single line charts are used to emphasize the trend of metric data over time or other conditions. You can select one metric and one dimension. According to the suggested visualization drawing prompts, drag the corresponding dimension and metric to the drawing area.
  - Other Charts Metric analysis also supports a variety of visualization charts, such as progress bar, bubble chart, single bar chart, butterfly chart, etc.
- Dimension Configuration Description: If multiple metrics are selected, only the common dimensions of the selected metrics can be used as analysis dimensions for visualization. Some independent dimensions of metrics can only be used as filter conditions.
  
  Supports creating "Alignment Dimensions" to map selected dimensions to alignment dimensions, using alignment dimensions as temporary visualization analysis dimensions.
  
  For example, when analyzing two metrics — Number of products and YTD sales — create an aligned dimension named Categories and map each metric to its corresponding dimension:
  - Number of products > Subcategories
  - YTD sales > Product Categories
  The system automatically maps the selected dimensions to the aligned dimension and unions the dimension values. When the aligned dimension is used as an analysis dimension, each metric is calculated based on its own mapped dimension.

Create Chinese-style Reports

In Data Analysis, select a directory and page, click New Card in the upper-right corner, and select Chinese-style Report. Only Chinese-style Report Pro supports metrics as a data source.
Set the data source to metrics and select the metrics to use. Filter by topic as needed. Only metrics you have permission to use are available.
In the data preparation step, configure the metrics, dimensions, and filters for each report view. A view can use one dataset or multiple metrics as its data source.
