Summary - Shows the data values for the variance categories and the variance amount.

Reasons - Shows the reasons, or the dimension members from the account that contributed to the variance. For each member, the actual and budget values, the amount of the variance, and the impact are displayed. You can display up to six members and show members by ID or description.

Root Cause - For each KPI, Insight attempts to find events occurring outside the database that contribute to a variance. The system then lists the top three events as root causes of the KPI variance, and displays the following:

Variance Context - To be included in a variance analysis, documents must first be posted to the Content Library in Interface for the Web. After synchronization, Insight compresses the documents into an unformatted string of words that it analyzes for frequency of terms. If a match is found to the account description of a KPI (or the account descriptions of any relevant accounts), the Variance Context pane of the Variance View contains a link to that document.

Actions - Shows actions for this KPI. Actions are annotations users create for a KPI to address concerns with thresholds reported by Insight.
