Business Metrics

PreviousCustom FieldsNextRequest

Last updated 8 months ago

Business metrics can be used to see a company's emissions relative to a another variable. For example, you might want to see the emissions of a company's office buildings relative to their number of full time employees, or the emissions of a factory relative to its output.

Setting up Business Metrics

Business metrics can be customized for each Company account and they are defined in the Boundaries view.

Three metrics are provided for all companies by default - Employees, Gross output, and Sales. You are free to edit or delete them if they are not applicable for the company.

To create a new metric, click the plus icon in the block labelled Business Metrics.

A new block will appear, and you should click the expand icon to open the details pane.

From the detail pane you can enter the label and unit for the metric.

Metrics can also be duplicated and deleted, but note that they can only be deleted if there are no associated Inventory entries.

Entering business data

Business metric values are entered in the Inventory.

Much like for the Emissions Inventory, there is a table and detail pane where you can manage the entries.

You will need to enter details such as the Reporting period. Organizational unit, Stard & End dates, along with the value and unit.

Once data is entered, you can use the Dashboard to view the Emissions relative to the metrics supplied.

More details on using metrics in the Dashboard can be found here:
