Attribute statistics group elements according to attribute
values. You can display the attribute statistics in table and graphs
to analyze the elements in the attribute statistics mode. You can
also display the attribute statistics in your home page using XYZ,
Pie and bar charts. You can also display the attribute statistics
in your home page as charts.
Charts in statistics
In Attribute statistics
mode of displaying view, the chart option is available when the selected
cell value is one of Number of Elements, Sum of Integer, Sum of Float
or Sum of Criteria attribute. In Home page, the attribute statistics
can be configured to provide the number of elements having a particular
value. You can select a chart type. The charts supported are: Pie,
Bar or Column, XY Line , XY Smooth and XY Scatter, Stacked bar or
Stacked column (not available in Home page) charts.
To display charts to view
the projects in Stacked column chart.
- Display Type: Chart: Stacked Column
- Row: Type
- Column: Portfolio
- Cell: Number of projects. This displays
the length of the bars.
To display charts to view the projects
in Pie chart.

compilation of statistics is displayed. Statistics can be either 1D
(one attribute selection) or 2D (2 attributes selection). You can
select if you want to view the statistics as plain text or in a graphical
format where bars represent 1D and bubbles for 2D. You can switch
to charting mode display of statistics and select the type of chart.
Tables in statistics
One- or two-dimensional
statistics: To display one- or two-dimensional attribute statistics,
select one or more attributes from the choices in the bottom frame
and click Refresh.
In the following example, the Status attribute in the Row
list is selected. The attribute statistics show that one requirement
is accepted and three requirements are proposed.
In the next example, the Status attribute in the Row list
and the Owner attribute in the Column list are selected. The attribute
statistics show that Joe owns one requirement that is proposed (
A )
and Jack owns three requirements, of which two are proposed (
B and
C)
and one is accepted (
D).
Three-dimensional statisticsTo create three-dimensional
statistics, choose an option from the Cell list:
- Number of Elements: Displays the number
of elements
- Elements: Displays the titles of the elements
- Sum: You can select all integer or float
values. Matrix attributes that are part of the view. The bars and dots display the sum of the
attribute values. For example, you can display the Estimated implementation
time for the requirements. You can calculate sums for a matrix attribute
only if the lock size is selected.
- Criterion: You can select all of the attributes
in the view. The cells or rows are filled with the attribute values
of the selected attribute. If you can prioritize the view, you can select
criteria from the Cell list. The sums of the priorities for the selected
criterion are displayed.
- Attribute: You can select all of the attributes
in the view. The cells or rows are filled with the attribute values
of the selected attribute.
Assume that the estimated times to implement each of the
requirements from the last example are as follows:
The following results are displayed with Plain
text selected:
