Shocked that you cannot change Bird's Eye view from Net to Gross
I think it is imperative that the Birds Eye View--just like the reports--have the ability to toggle between Gross and Net billing. Currently we are being advised that the Bird's Eye View can only pull Net billing.
It is a Bird’s Eye View. It is meant to give you analysis opportunities on where you want to learn more and dig into by viewing the default calendar as chosen by decision makers that purchased Matrix.
Our reports are still the best place to go when you want to find an exact answer for other calendars, in depth filtering, and multiple hierarchies of information. think of the Bird’s Eye View as saying “Whoa, XYZ Furniture is only spending $10,000 this month but they spent $40,000 same time last year? I need to investigate this”
We’re sorry that you feel differently, but I hope that you now understand the intent of this Page/Pod and a little bit of the philosophy behind Matrix.

I understand what you are saying but since we talk in gross numbers entirely on this end (and all of Gannett for that matter) it would be nice to say "whoa, XYZ Furniture is only spending $10K GROSS this year but they spent $40K gross LY". Every other aspect of Matrix allows us to choose either Net or Gross reporting--it would be nice if the same functionality was available across the board. Being that we are the ones that use the system on a daily basis for business purposes I am simply advising a way to make it more relevant. If it cannot happen, understood and we will continue to use work-around's.
