Request for the addition of a feature in the treemap report that allows the tile size and the amounts displayed on hover (actual amount and variance) to be aligned based on the same fiscal year.

Regarding the treemap report, due to Apptio’s current specifications, it is not possible to align both the tile size and the amounts displayed on hover (actual amount and variance) based on the same fiscal year. Therefore, we would like to request the addition of a new functional option.

Currently, there are two display options available, which can be changed by adjusting the order of the fields placed in “Values.”

[Option 1]
■ Tile Size

Ordered by prior year actual amount (largest to smallest)

■ Information Displayed on Hover

Actual Amount: Current year actual amount

Variance: Increase/decrease amount of the current year compared to the prior year

[Option 2]
■ Tile Size

Ordered by current year actual amount (largest to smallest)

■ Information Displayed on Hover

Actual Amount: Prior year actual amount

Variance: Increase/decrease amount of the prior year compared to the current year

Note: The actual amount displayed in the drill-down report after selecting a tile is the current year amount in both cases.

[Requested Option]

■ Tile Size

Ordered by current year actual amount (largest to smallest)

■ Information Displayed on Hover

Actual Amount: Current year actual amount

Variance: Increase/decrease amount of the current year compared to the prior year

Variance %: Percentage increase/decrease of the current year compared to the prior year
