Analyze - Generate Statistics in Palats

How to Use the Analysis Page to Get Statistics in Palats

Analytics is now easier to understand since your settings and filters only affect the report that you’re currently working on. We also differentiate reports based on whether you are analyzing events or articles. Additionally, you can now create reports for marketplaces (listings, orders).

The reports allow your organization to track usage of Palats and the savings you are unlocking by reusing, in different dimensions such as CO2e or money. You can also break down these savings in various categories, such as destinations in a relocation or customer in orders.

The analyze page has four standard reports that are created by the system. These reflect the most common use cases for the analytics page. If you want customized reports, such as breaking down metrics for specific projects or marketplaces, you can either modify the basic reports or create a brand new report.

After entering a report, you can make changes to the type of report, the selection (filters), the dimension, the breakdown, and the visualization. After making changes, the report can either be saved as a new report or, if editing an existing report, overwrite the old configuration.

You also have the possibility of downloading a report as png (only the chart) or as XLSX or CSV (only the table).

Different types of charts

There are five different types of charts that can be created in a report. 

1 - Stacked bar chart

Available in event reports

This is the most common type of chart and breaks down events by a desired interval such as monthly or daily, which allows you to track how one month differs to another.

The total height of a bar is the sum of the month’s events (in the selected dimension). The colors within the bar represent the breakdown of the events, which can be a multitude of variables such as event name, article category, marketplace, previous location, etc.

A downside of the stacked bar chart is that it’s difficult to see the total sum for the entire time frame since it’s limited to at most monthly. You can find this sum by looking in the table under the graph.

2 - Accumulative stacked line chart

Available in event reports

This chart is closely related to the stacked bar chart and can always be switched to if you are looking at a bar chart. The chart is accumulative, which means as you go from left to right, each interval includes both the events for the given eg month and all the previous months in the time frame. It’s easy to understand by hovering over the graph, as the tooltip shows you both the sum until the given point in time and the changes in parenthesis.

4 - Flow chart

Available in event reports

You can only get to the flow chart by first selecting breakdown Location before or Location after. The reason is because the flow chart can only be use to visualize these breakdowns.

This chart illustrates how articles have moved between two locations in the given time frame.

Note that every move is included, so if one article has moved many times, it will also appear multiple times in the chart. That’s why an organization with 100 articles may see 200 moves, if articles have changed location multiple times.

The flow chart only shows two steps, so it cannot be used to track a single article through multiple moves.

5 - Pie chart

Available in distribution reports

Distribution reports (articles distribution, listings distribution) can only be visualized using the pie chart. It works like any pie chart. You can find a detailed breakdown of the data in the table underneath.
