When a Production Analysis has been created using fields in addition to Production Output and Date, you can color code the datapoints according to the values in any of those fields.
Consider again our example of the bottled water production process. The dataset used to create our Bottled Water Production Analysis contains three columns: Date, Production, and Category. We used the Category field to record the reasons for the Production Output on a given day, such as Equipment Failure, Process Variability, Budgeted Maintenance, and so on. We can use the Group By feature to color code our datapoints for each of these categories.
To group the data by a field:
On the Analysis Tasks menu, click the Group By link.
A submenu appears with the fields available in the query or dataset.
Select the field that you want to use for color coding.
The datapoints within the Production Analysis change color to correspond to the values in the field. A different color is assigned automatically to each unique value.
Note:The legend will not appear automatically. You can enable the legend using the standard graph toolbar.
By grouping our example analysis by the Category field, we can see which datapoints are associated with each category.
Hint: You can hover over a datapoint on the Production Analysis to highlight all the datapoints in the same group.
