What is the purpose of a Time Series widget?
- Shows how indicator scores change across dates
- Lists the metrics for several indicators
- Groups one indicator by two breakdowns
- Groups indicator scores by breakdown elements
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A
Why this is correct
In the table of widget types, the Time Series widget shows changes over time in indicator scores. Line visualization is the most usual.
Why the other options are wrong
"Groups indicator scores by breakdown elements" … The table gives this purpose to another widget type. A Time Series widget follows the scores along dates instead.
"Lists the metrics for several indicators" … The table gives this purpose to another widget type, one whose visualizations are scorecard and spider web.
"Groups one indicator by two breakdowns" … The table gives this purpose to another widget type. A Time Series widget does not cross two breakdowns.
Key point
Besides line, the table lists spline, step, column, stacked column, area, and relative compare as visualizations of the Time Series widget.
