The Environment Tab focuses on how your Innovation Central environment is being used.
Utilization
Utilization simply shows the way all of the instances in your environment are being used at the current point in time. For example, in this environment there are 6 instances and all 6 are in use. There is also a link (Go to instance) to see each of the challenges and check on their associated activity. Sponsor and End date are supplied when setting up the Event Details.
Event Timeline
The Event Timeline shows at a glance, how active each individual challenge is. Each numbered line represents an instance with hits, ideas and visitors being represented on each graph. For example, we see that Additional Sources of Revenue is an on-going challenge (no end date) and has a fairly steady amount of activity.
Each graph can either be clicked on to zoom into the data, or the sliders at the bottom can be used to adjust the overall event timeline for different time periods or focus challenges.
Event Table
The Event Table highlights all of the challenges that have been run within each instance. For example, in instance 3, we see that 5 different challenges have been run. To get a quick snapshot of the results, click on the name of the challenge to expand the summary data as shown with instance 1 below. Additionally, there is an expand all and a collapse all feature to see several challenges at one time. The Description is populated from Event Details when the challenge is setup. The Idea Groups, Areas and Evaluations are populated based on how the challenge is configured and if Idea Groups, Areas and Quick Reviews are used.
