The views
This Report has four views. Click the name of the view you want to see to toggle between them.
- Vertical Bar: Shows the total number of Items involving each Attribute Value as a vertical bar graph.
- Toggle between Total, Statuses, and Attribute to change what type of data the Report displays.
- Total: Displays the total number of Items where each Attribute Value on the Report is populated.
- Statuses: Displays the total number of Items where each Attribute Value is populated and breaks down the data by Item Status.
- Attribute: This option lists Attributes on the X-axis instead of Attribute Values. It displays the total number of Items where the Attribute is populated and breaks down the data by how often each value is selected.
- The Report's bars can visualize up to 10 values for each Attribute. If the Attribute has more than 10 values, only the first 10 will be represented as segments within the bar.
- Sort: Expand the drop-down to select by which criterion this dataset should be ordered.
- Max: Enter the number of data points that should be represented on this graph. By default, this Report will show 15 data points, but it can be configured to show 1-50.
- Show Values: When enabled, the value of each data point will be displayed on the graph.
- Toggle between Total, Statuses, and Attribute to change what type of data the Report displays.

The filters
Any relevant filters in use on the main Reports screen will be automatically applied to this Report but can still be configured as needed.
- There are two date-based drop-downs. First is the "Reference Date" drop-down and second is the "Range" drop-down.
- Reference Date: Expand the drop-down to choose which type of date should be referenced by the Report. For example, select "Created in" if you want the Report to reference only those Items that were created in the specified date range.
- Range: Expand the drop-down to choose the range of dates that should be included in the Report.
- All Time removes any date range parameters.
- Custom allows you to enter any date range you want.
- Past shows you a rolling date range that counts back from the current calendar date.
- Current shows you data for the current week, month, quarter, or year.
- Last shows you data for the previous week, month, quarter, or year.
Pro Tip: The Last YTD option helps you set a date range matching the current year-to-date period but for the previous year instead. For example, if it is March 15th, 2024, and you select Last YTD, your Report will cover data from January 1st, 2023, to March 15th, 2023. This logic is also true for the Last MTD and QTD options.
- Click the filter icon and the Item Filter window will open.
- Update the filters to control which Items are included in the Report.
- Click Save.
-
Select Originating, Responsible, or Impact to decide whether the Report should reference Items from the Originating, Responsible, or Impact Location.
- By default, both Originating and Responsible will be selected.
- If Impact is selected, both Originating and Responsible will be toggled off.
- If no Location is selected in the Location Filter or Item Filter, the Originating, Responsible, and Impact toggles will not affect Report data.
- Click the Locations panel on the left side of the Report to expand it.
- Filter the Report by Location and only Items tied to the selected Locations will be included in the Report.
- Shared Value Group: This drop-down will only appear if your organization has at least one Shared Value Group. Expand it to choose which group(s) of values should be displayed on the Report.
- The Item counts on the Report will represent the number of Items where each value was selected at least among any of the Attributes using the Shared Value Group.
- Attribute: Expand the drop-down to choose which Attribute(s) should be included in this Report.
- If you already selected a Shared Value Group, only Attributes using that Group will be available in this drop-down.
- If the selected Attribute has multiple associations, an additional Attribute Type drop-down will appear. Use this dropdown to specify whether you want to reference Items where the Attribute is used in the Item Work Panel, Impact, or AdHoc Field.
- Value: This drop-down appears when you select a Shared Value Group or Attribute and contains the associated values. By default, all of these values are included in the Report, but if you select one or more values from the drop-down, the Report will be limited to only those selections.
- The Combine Values checkbox: This checkbox is available when you select a Shared Value Group and use the Total mode. When selected, the Report will display each value in the chosen Shared Value Group only once, rather than repeating the same values for every Attribute that uses the group. Any Item where where the Shared Value appears at least once in any of the Attributes using the Shared Value Group will be included in the Item count data.
