Value Development By Location widget with a line per Location

What it shows

  • Each line is one Location with answers to the question; each point is one answer, placed at the time it was answered and labelled with its value.

  • A Location Group in the filter is shown as its individual Locations, one line each.

  • Temperature Question readings show in the viewer's own Temperature Format (Celsius or Fahrenheit).

  • With Show difference from the previous result on, each point shows the change from that Location's previous answer, with + for a rise.

Results with no Location are left out. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I compare checklist results between locations in a graph?

Yes. Pick the question here and each Location gets its own line. For a single value per Location, such as the latest reading, use Value on Question by Location.

I can't select my temperature question. Why?

Pick the Checklist that contains it first; the Question list only shows Number, Slider and Temperature Questions on that Checklist. This widget takes one question at a time.

Why are there too many lines to read?

With no Location filter, every Location you can access that has answers gets a line. Set the Locations filter to the ones you want to compare.

Can one widget show several checklists?

No. Each widget reads one Checklist. Add a widget per Checklist. See Value Development By Question.
