Settings Custom Benchmarks

Custom Benchmarks must be added to see your data. The Corporate and Facilities goals also need to be updated periodically. You can customize the Benchmark values through the Custom Benchmarks Settings page within Analytics. You can adjust benchmark settings for the Corporation, and for individual Facilities.

Note

After entering benchmarks for the first time, Corporate Benchmarks autopopulate to any facility that does not have Facility Benchmarks already entered. The Facility Benchmarks can then be manually updated as needed.
