Value on Question by Location widget

Compare a Number or Slider question across Locations: latest, average, sum or difference per Location, with filters and thresholds.

Written by Logan Bowlby

Overview

The Value on Question by Location widget shows a column per Location with a value from a Number or Slider Question: the latest answer at each Location, or the average, sum or change there over a period. Use it to compare the same reading across rides or sites.

Value on Question by Location widget with one column per Location

What it shows

Each column is one Location that has answers; its height is the value for that Location. The value is worked out per Location:

Choice

Value per Location

Latest Result (default)

The most recent answer at the Location, from any date.

Average Value

The average of the Location's answers in the period.

Sum

The total of the Location's answers in the period.

Difference

The Location's latest answer minus its earliest answer in the period (with Latest Result, across all dates).

Only Number Questions and Slider Questions can be picked. Answers that aren't a number are left out, and so are Results with no Location. A Location Group in the filter is shown as its individual Locations, not as one column. It counts completed Results only, not deleted ones, whatever their approval state (Results awaiting validation count too). Each viewer sees only Results they can access, so two people can see different figures: see How access works in Mobaro.

  • A Location with no numeric answers in the period has no column.

  • No Checklist Selected means the Checklist filter is empty. No data is available for this widget. Please try changing your filtering. means no question is ticked or no answers match.

  • The widget refreshes with the dashboard, every 10 minutes. See How to use the Dashboard.


Best practices

  • Set thresholds to your acceptable range so out-of-range Locations stand out in red.

  • Pair this widget with Value Development By Location to see whether a Location's value is a one-off or a trend.
