The Iterations Comparison dialog box is available only in the results of the experiments supporting iterations (Network Optimization, Variation, Comparison). The dialog box fits the data of all the required iterations on one screen with a set of controls for managing the iterations.
To open the Iterations Comparison dialog box
- Run the experiment that uses iterations (e.g. the Network Optimization experiment).
-
Select the required result of the experiment, then click the
to open the Iterations panel.
-
Click
to open the Iterations Comparison dialog box.
The set of parameters differs depending on the experiment type.
- Iterations Comparison in Network Optimization
-
- Iterations Comparison in Comparison
-
- Iterations Comparison in Variation
-
The dialog box comprises:
-
Header controls:
-
Export to Excel — exports iterations from the comparison table to an MS Excel file.
The set of iterations and KPI metrics the comparison table contains depends on the defined parameters in the left sidebar.
-
— closes the Iterations Comparison dialog box (you can open it later).
-
Export to Excel — exports iterations from the comparison table to an MS Excel file.
-
Left sidebar:
-
Iterations — the drop-down list with all iteration in this result.
Select / Deselect the checkboxes of the required iterations to add / remove them to / from the comparison table on the right.
Depending on the experiment type each list item comprises the iteration name and:
- In case of the Network Optimization experiment — the facilities included in this iteration.
- In case of the Comparison experiment — the name of the scenario, which was used in this iteration.
- In case of the Variation experiment — the variable parameters that were used in this iteration.
-
KPI metrics —the list of metrics that are:
- ADDED — the kpi metrics that are added to the comparison table.
- RECOMMENDED — the most frequently used metrics.
-
OTHER — the rest of the metrics available for this experiment type.
The list of available KPI metrics depends on the experiment type and the setup of the Statistics Configuration dashboard.
-
Aggregation type — [Not available in the Network Optimization experiment] the filter of value types to show in the comparison table:
- Max — calculated maximum value of the collected statistics' values.
- Mean — [selected by default] calculated arithmetic average of the collected statistics' values.
- Min — calculated minimum value of the collected statistics' values.
-
Facilities in Iteration # — [available in the Network Optimization experiment only]
the drop-down list shows the inclusion type that was assigned to the facilities by the experiment within this iteration:
The drop-down lists comprises:
- Title — iteration name with its ordinal number.
-
Tabs with indication of the number of facilities it contains:
- Included — the facilities that are included in the solution offered in this iteration. The number next to the tab name shows the quantity of included facilities.
- Excluded — other facilities that are excluded from the solution offered in this iteration. The number next to the tab name shows the quantity of excluded facilities.
- Search — use the search field to filter the list of facilities.
- Facilities. Each facility item comprises the name of the facility and the number of iterations (that are added to the comparison table) containing this facility.
-
Iterations — the drop-down list with all iteration in this result.
Select / Deselect the checkboxes of the required iterations to add / remove them to / from the comparison table on the right.
-
Body:
-
Comparison table — contains records (one per iteration) with all the iteration selected from the
Iterations drop-down list:
- The number of table columns corresponds to the number of ADDED metrics in the KPI metrics drop-down list.
-
— [available in the Network Optimization experiment only] [enabled by default] wraps the text in table cells to make it fit into the current column width.
-
Comparison table — contains records (one per iteration) with all the iteration selected from the
Iterations drop-down list:
-
Footer contains the following buttons:
- Close — closes the Iterations Comparison dialog box.
- Convert to a new scenario — [not available in the Comparison experiment only] opens the Convert Result dialog box, allowing you to convert the selected record of the comparison table to a new scenario.
- Open selected iteration — closes the Iterations Comparison dialog box, triggers the map to display the supply chain from the selected iteration.
