Dashboard Components
Snapshot
The snapshot section will show you key indicators on TAT, for your last complete period of time (week or month, depending on the granularity you have set), compared to the preceding period.
This is based on the date range you select in the date picker. For example:
If you selected ‘April, 1st 2024 to July 31st 2024’, and set granularity to ‘Week’
The snapshot will show values for the last complete week within your selected time interval: July 22nd to July 28th, 2024.
It will also show variations when comparing that week to the preceding week (July 15th to July 21st).
Note that if you select future dates, the snapshot will still show the last complete time period.
