On this page
01What it is
One row for each area of the business, such as Sales, Collections, Operations, Finance and Customers. On the left, the area’s lead number, its value for the latest complete period and how it changed. To the right, a chart that runs the width of the page. Every row covers the same stretch of time, so you can read the whole business from top to bottom in one view.
Every figure comes from last night’s run, the same numbers your briefs and Sweep use. Nothing on the page is written by AI.
02The controls
- The period: 7 days, 14 days, 4 weeks, 1 Quarter, 12 months. Short periods show each day, the middle ones each week, and 12 months each month.
- Compare: off at first, so each chart shows the period alone. Turn it on to add the period before, or the same time last year, as a dotted grey line behind each chart.
- % or ABS: a change as a percentage, or in the number’s own unit (₹, days, metres).
- By area or Every number: one row for each area with its lead number, or every number as its own row under its area’s heading, each with its own chart.
- A breakdown: one at a time, such as a single region or plant. A number that isn’t split that way shows its total and says so.
Your choices are remembered for next time.
03Opening a row
Open a row to see its full chart with dates, then how the number adds up: each part with a plus or a minus, such as invoice value, less credit notes, less rebates, equals net revenue. Below that, the other numbers in the same area. From there you can choose which number leads the area, or hide the row. In Every number you can hide one number or a whole area. Hidden rows wait at the foot of the page to be shown again.
04Areas
Othor AI suggests which area each number belongs to, reading only the numbers’ names and descriptions, never their values. The suggestion arrives on Home, and nothing changes until you accept it. You can move a number to another area on its panel in the Ontology, add an area of your own, or just tell Othor AI (“put DSO under Collections”). A number with no area shows under Other numbers.
05Notes you may see
- Monthly only: a number that depends on the length of the period, such as days sales outstanding, is shown at its own period, because by the week it would read wrong.
- Weekly only: in the 7 and 14 day views, a ratio of two numbers (such as margin per metre) is shown by the week, because one day’s figures can swing it far off.
- Building history: there isn’t a period before yet to compare with.
- A red dot: open findings on that number or the numbers it is built from. It opens the finding in Sweep.
