The Ranking Chart Viewlet allows the user to make instant side-by-side comparisons amongst locations. The Ranking Chart enables the user to display columns representing the values of similar variables, ranked in either increasing or decreasing order. Values can be normalized to make accurate comparisons.
The Ranking Chart Viewlet is an appropriate tool for making quick and easy assumptions about energy usage between facilities.
Ranking Chart Configuration
The Ranking Chart can be configured to compare multiple locations by checking the appropriate selection boxes within the trend tab. Colors should be set to ensure each building has a unique display, even though the building’s names are listed under their corresponding bar inside the viewlet. Options include whether the values are presented in ascending or descending order, if and how they are normalized, their rollup value, and if a baseline should be shown. Whether a location is highest or lowest depends on the ascending or descending sort order. Users can also input a number of locations to display, which will automatically show only that number of locations.
