Hi everyone,

We are trying to create a dashboard that would show the cumulative data of Created Problems. What is the best approach to implement this task? We appreciate any suggestions and recommendations.

Thank you very much!

Hi @DeGuzmanG ,

 

If you want to show the cumulative number of Problems created over time, I would recommend using Performance Analytics rather than a standard report.

For example, you can create a PA indicator based on the Problem [problem] table with:

  • Indicator: Count of Problems
  • Aggregation: Count
  • Time series: Created/Opened date
  • Cumulative: Enable the cumulative/rolling calculation in the visualization

This will give you a trend such as:

 

 
 
Jan → 10
Feb → 25
Mar → 42
Apr → 63
 
 

where each point represents the total Problems created up to that period.

If you only need a simple dashboard showing Problems created by month, a Platform Analytics Data Visualization using a time-series count may be sufficient. But if the requirement is specifically cumulative over time, PA is generally the better approach because it stores and calculates the historical indicator data.

I would also recommend clarifying whether "cumulative" means all Problems ever created or cumulative Problems within a particular year/period, as that will affect the indicator configuration.
