Linking data is advantageous for managers or employees responsible for the data, since it enables them to drill down to detail as required.

By using hyperlink technology, Metrixum can switch from a smart cell to a table, a detailed report, a website or even to a cube consultation tool. Users can link smart cells to the tool of their choice and drill down to detail with a simple click of the mouse.

Before a company or organization integrates a new application, it wants to know whether it can use the application to access its existing legacy. Metrixum allows this to be done. By using mediums such as the Excel data import engine, it is possible to use static data or recover existing dashboards and build upon them. In addition, drilling links are very versatile and can be adapted to many situations.

The aim of having a dashboard application is to enable users to track the latest data changes in order to boost management efficiency and respond quickly to these changes.

Metrixum is supported by a data refresh engine to ensure data remains active. This engine, located on the server, is equipped with a data filtering layer that allows data to be efficiently delivered to users.

Alerts can be defined in Metrixum, and change notices be sent by e-mail or other methods of communication in real time, without the users having to be connected to the system.

Conditional Formatting

Visual indicators play an important role in everyday life. One of the most practical means for communicating information is through signs or symbols. Conditional formatting allows users to create visual indicators supported by mathematical formulas linked to smart cells. These cells modify the indicator’s format accordingly.
