In Elevate K-12 Analytics, you can create Matrix Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that compare two of your Metric KPIs. After selecting two metric KPIs for comparison, you can define segments and configure a calculation matrix based upon the two metrics.
Note: You must create Metric KPIs before you can create a Matrix KPI.
Open Administration Page
In the Navigation Menu, click the Admin link.
Open KPIs
In the Elevate K-12 Analytics Administration page, click the KPIs link.
Open Matrix KPIs
In the Manage KPIs menu, click the Matrix KPIs link [1].
Note: On the Manage KPIs Overview page you can click the Matrix KPIs link [2].
Add New Matrix KPI
Click the Add KPI button.
Select Source Metrics
In the General section, click the Horizontal Metric KPI drop-down menu [1]. Then select a metric from the displayed list.
Then click the Vertical Metric KPI drop-down menu and select a metric [2].
Enter a name for the metric in the Name field [3].
You can also enter a description for the KPI in the Description field [4]. For example, to better understand how school discipline counts impact daily attendance rates, select the Student Discipline Incident Count and Daily Attendance Rate metrics.
Configure KPI
By default, a new Metric KPI is configured to display two data ranges, or segments. Segments indicate the number of numeric ranges you wish to identify and view in a Matrix KPI.
To add segments to your KPI configuration, click the Segment drop-down menu [1]. You can select up to five segments.
Enter a label name for each segment in the Display label fields [2].
To select a different color for the segment label, click the Color icon [3].
For example, to compare school discipline to daily attendance rates, you could select and label three segments: No Intervention, Approaching Intervention, Assessment Required.
Select Color Label
In the color window, you can select a color from a palette, a spectrum, or enter the Hex number or RGB (red, green, blue) values of a color.
To select a color from the color palette, click a color icon [1].
To select a from a color spectrum or to enter the HEX number or RGB values of a color, click the Gradient View button [2].
Open Gradient View
To select a color from the gradient, select an area of the color spectrum [1]. Then click a spectrum color [2].
To enter a HEX number, enter the number in the HEX field [3].
Note: If you do not enter the # symbol in the HEX field, it is added automatically.
To enter RGB values for a color, click the Change Color Format icon [1]. Then enter R, G, and B values [2].
View Matrix Table
The matrix table displays your selected metrics.
View your horizontal metric in the chart header [1] and its corresponding measures in the column headers [2].
View your vertical metric in the chart header [3], and its corresponding measures in the row headers [4].
Configure Matrix
For each metric measure comparison, click the matrix field drop-down menu [1]. Select a segment label and color [2].
For example, high daily attencance compared to low (or excellent) student discipline counts do not need assessment, while below standard daily attendance compared to at risk discipline counts need assessment.
