This guide shows you how to refine and segment your emissions data in just a few clicks.
Introduction
When analyzing your emissions data in Emitwise, you may want to narrow down the displayed data by date range, scope, facility, or supplier. You might also want to group your results (e.g., by category or geography) for easier comparison. This guide shows you how to refine and segment your data in just a few clicks.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Go to Emissions Overview
- In the top navigation, select Analyse.
- Choose Emissions Overview (or Dashboards) to access your main data visualizations.
-
Open the Filter Toolbar
- Look for a toolbar near the top of your dashboard (it may say “Start date,” “End date,” “Compare,” or “Electricity method”).
- Click Filter to open the filter menu.
-
Choose Your Filters
- Time Range: Specify start and end dates.
- Electricity Method: Pick Location-based or Market-based to see how it affects your totals.
- Supplier EFs: Select whether to include or exclude supplier-specific emission factors.
- Other Properties: Scope, facility, supplier, product category—check or uncheck what matters to you.
-
Apply Your Filters
- Once your selections are complete, click Apply Filter (or similar).
- The dashboard will update to reflect your new filter set.
-
Group Your Data
- Some charts have a Group by dropdown (e.g., by facility, category, or region).
- Select a grouping to further break down the data appears in the chart.
Common Issues/Tips
- Tip: You can click a slice in a pie chart or a bar in a column chart to automatically drill down (apply that slice’s property as a filter).
- Pitfall: Over-filtering can hide relevant data. If you don’t see results, re-check your filter choices.
Conclusion
You’ve now learned to filter and group your visualizations in Emitwise. This ensures you can focus on the metrics that matter most—whether that’s comparing different facilities, pinpointing specific suppliers, or zooming in on a certain scope.
