      How to view Benchmarks on a Timeline

      A Benchmark Timeline will show you benchmark data for the last 3 months, last 6 months, and last year on a time series chart. You can view the Benchmark Timeline for a Metric in the Metrics section.

       

      A) Timeline: Click on this icon to view the Benchmark Timeline
      B) Metric name: The name of the Metric displayed on the Benchmark Timeline
      C) Data Source: The Data Source used for the Benchmark Timeline
      D) Date Range: Select the date range for this Benchmark Timeline from the drop-down list. You can select Last 3 Months, Last 6 Months, or Last Year.

      Pro Tip: Currently we only show data from October 2022 onwards.

      E) Your Benchmark: Click on this text to highlight how you're performing on your Benchmark Timeline. 
      F) Median: Click on this text to highlight the Median performance of the group on the Benchmark Timeline. The Median is the value lying at the midpoint of frequency distribution of data. 
      G) 1 st quartile (also known as the Bottom Quartile): Click on this text to see the bottom quartile of the groups performance on the Benchmark Timeline. 25% of all values are smaller than the 1st quartile.
      H) 3rd quartile (also known as the Top Quartile): Click on this text to see the top quartile of the groups performance on the Benchmark Timeline. 75% of all values are smaller than the 3rd quartile.

      How to view Benchmark Details

      Benchmark Details give you more detailed information about the data displayed. They allow you to view the description of the metric, the median value of the group, the number of data source contributors, the date range and the time when the benchmark was last updated. You can view the Benchmark Details of the Metric by selecting Details in the Metrics section.

      How to view Benchmarks in Joined Groups

      Pro Tip: When you join an invite-only group (private group), groups owners won't be able to see the data of any specific group member. They can only see the group Benchmarks when they are calculated. 

      Group members can see the benchmark of a metric in the groups they have joined. These visualizations are in red or green.

      • Median is the value lying at the midpoint of a frequency distribution of data.

      • Red is displayed when your value is below the Median.

      • Green is displayed when your value is above the Median.

      How to view Benchmarks in Hosted Groups

      A group owner can see the benchmark for a metric if there is enough contributor data to calculate Benchmarks. These visualizations are displayed in blue and do not include the group owner's data. Instead, they show the distribution of the benchmark data in that specific group. 

      • Median is the value lying at the midpoint of a frequency distribution of data.

      • The light blue color represents the data outside the 1st (bottom) and 3rd (top) quartile
      • The dark blue color indicates the beginning of the 1st (bottom) quartile and the end of the 3rd (top) quartile.

      A group owner can see the median performance of the group, as well as the top and bottom quartiles of the group's performance on the Benchmark Timeline.
