What is Drill-Down?
Drill-down is a technique that allows Stratago™ users to
view the detail of a revenue or payroll category.
Revenue and payroll data is normally categorized into
groups. In the past, these group totals were sufficient to understand how a
company was performing overall. Breaking down these categories to their
individual general ledger accounts proved too time-consuming and difficult to
display effectively.
Stratago resolves this problem using a drill-down
technique. This technique utilizies hyperlinks
to display or hide the detail of a category. Every revenue or payroll category
displayed as a hyperlink will expand or
collapse when clicked. Users can view this detail looking for patterns or
discrepencies that were not noticeable with only the category total. Users can
improve the category totals as a whole by understanding the sum of its total.
The following example demonstrates the drill-down
technique in action. Click any of the category hyperlinks
below to expand or collapse its detail:

Being able to view the detail of a category greatly
improves the chance of finding ways to improve the profitability of your
company. Stratago also compares this detail against previous years, budgets,
and other store locations to give you the best possible opportunity to fully
track the performance of your company.
Using this technique, our customers often find obvious
discrepencies that they were previously unaware of in their revenue and payroll
data.
Stratago's ability to drill-down into the detail of your
data will save you money!
