Measures
The Measures dashboard helps the user to track down the decisions (measures) taken in order to optimise the company's consumption, costs or benefits.
This article describes the Measures panel from the Overview section of the i4connected portal.
The Measures panel helps the user to track the decisions (measures) taken in order to optimise the company's consumption, costs or benefits. The measures data is aggregated for the top organizational unit, each child organizational unit contributing to the complete measures overview.

The Measures panel
The Measures panel can be accessed using the Measures tile. The Measures panel displays the total number of measures in the stages 1 to 5 for the top organizational unit and the distribution of these measures in each stage, using a bar chart.

The measures chart
The measures are split in 6 states:
Status 1 - the potential savings are identified
Status 2 - the potential savings are validated
Status 3 - the measure for achieving the potential savings is decided
Status 4 - the measure for achieving the potential savings is implemented
Status 5 - the savings achieved by the measure are confirmed
Status 9 - the measure is uneconomical or postponed
The user can drill down the organizational units that contribute with their associated measures (children organizational units with mapped measures) to the total measures overview displayed by the measures chart.

The Measures drill-down panel
Clicking on the measures chart in either the Measures panel or any organizational unit drill down panels will open the Measures Dashboard panel which provides measure details for the corresponding organizational unit.
The Measures panel also highlights the more critical measures implemented for the top organizational unit (ant its children organizational units):
the measures from the goals start year with status 4 and 5 (implemented measures) and the totals for consumption and financial savings for each targeted point of interest.
Implemented measures
the measures from the current year up to the goals end year with the status 2 and 3 and the totals for consumption and financial savings for each targeted point of interest.
Known measures
The Measures Dashboard panel
The Measures Dashboard panel displays detailed information about the measures affecting the selected organizational unit. If the Measures Dashboard is opened from a child organizational unit, its measures data will be compared with the measures data of the top parent organizational unit.

The Measures drill-down dashboard
The Measures Dashboard panel can be opened by clicking the Measures chart in the main Measures panel or in any drill-down panels corresponding to a child organizational unit which contributes to the top organizational unit in the main Measures panel.
The measures data displayed in the Measures Dashboard is divided in three sections:
The stage chart - plots the number of measures in each stage (from 1 to 5 and 9) for the selected organizational unit and its descendent (contributing) organizational units.
The stage chart
If the selected organizational unit is a descendant of the top organizational unit, the Stage chart will plot the measures data against the top level organizational unit, using overlapping chart bars.
