VDT Tree View in Metrics Tab

The Metrics page includes a tree view visualization option that displays metrics in a hierarchical Value Driver Tree (VDT) format. This "Metric Tree View" option enables users to visualize and analyze metric relationships through an intuitive tree structure. The tree view provides a comprehensive understanding of metric dependencies and hierarchies at the app and functional level.

The tree view includes visual indicators through color coding and symbols for different metric types including formula, summary, parent, link, and external metrics. Users can navigate the tree with expand and collapse controls, with the expand-all function intelligently limited to three levels for optimal performance. Each metric node displays detailed information in a side panel, including the newly added formula visibility for formula-type metrics, providing complete context for analysis without leaving the tree view interface.

Key Benefits:

• Users can view metrics in an intuitive tree structure showing relationships and dependencies.

• Color coding and symbols instantly identify formula, summary, parent, link, and external metric types.

• The three-level expand limit ensures smooth performance even with thousands of metrics.

• Side panels display complete metric information including formulas for analysis.

• Users can switch between list view and tree view based on their analysis needs.

v25.10:  VDT View in Metrics Tab

The VDT view in Metrics tab displays metrics in a hierarchical Value Driver Tree format. The tree view operates at the app level, allowing users to visualize the complete hierarchy of metrics within their application and understand the relationships between different metric types.

The tree view interface includes visual indicators to differentiate between metric types.

• The legend displays color codes and symbols for formula metrics, summary metrics, parent metrics, link metrics, and external metrics.

• The navigation controls include "Collapse All" to fold all nodes back to the app level and "Expand All" to reveal the tree structure.

• The toggle control to show or hide standalone metrics, providing flexibility in viewing metrics that exist independently of the main hierarchy.

  The side panel displays comprehensive information about that metric when users select any metric node in the tree. This side panel operates in read-only mode for analysis purposes, ensuring users cannot inadvertently modify metric configurations while exploring the tree. The panel includes all standard metric properties fetched directly from the metric page, with the notable addition of formula visibility for formula-type metrics.

Using VDT View in Metrics Tab

1. Select Apps from the main navigation menu.

2. Navigate to the Metrics page within your application.

   The Metrics page has a list view by default.

   

3. Select Metric Tree View to switch to the hierarchical visualization.

   

4. Users can view the tree structure with their app name as the root node.

5. Use the legend in the bottom to understand the color coding and symbols:

   Each color and symbol represent formula, summary, parent, link, and external metrics. Each metric type has a distinct visual indicator.

6. Navigate through the hierarchy by expanding and collapsing specific branches as needed.

   • Select Collapse All to fold all nodes back to the app level.

   • Select Expand All to expand nodes up to three levels.

   • Expand individual nodes beyond three levels manually by clicking the expand icon.
