Interpreting the display following a modification

Progressive mode must be activated. It is enabled by default. You can check this by clicking on the Edit displayed indicators icon tm-reference-img/commun/icone_modifier_les_indicateurs_affiches.png . Progressive mode can be enabled bottom left of the display.

When a point assignment is changed, progressive mode highlights the point that has changed sector on the map (if it is displayed via the map icon Analyse) and the impact on the balancing indicators.

tm-reference-img/ecran_points_transferes_sur_la_carte.png

The points transfered on the map display the colour of their new sector (point colour fill) and the colour of the previous sector of assignment (point contour).

tm-reference-img/ecran_indicateurs_equilibrage.png

The balancing indicators indicate the percentages of modifications linked to these transfers.

When the percentages of variation are positive, they display in green; when they are negative, they display in red.

This display remains enabled until the analysis is next saved, so that the user can decide whether to keep or discard modifications.

Handling the table display

Reading the table

In this example, the Potential indicator has a display setting positioned on Balancing.

The mean for the indicator is shown as a solid navy blue vertical line on the colour gauge.

Dotted vertical lines on either side of this indicator signify a differential of 10% in relation to the mean.

Colour	Deviation from the indicator mean
	More than 15%
	Between 10 and 15%
	Less than 10%

Below each indicator column is a total aggregator (Sum, by default) that can be edited as required.
