Activities

You can create location clusters by grouping locations into clusters based on common characteristics or attributes. You can do the following:

  • Specify clustering filters, such as locations and products.

  • Specify settings, such as a date range and currency.

  • Specify clustering criteria, that is, which key performance indicators (KPIs) or business measures you want to use as the basis for clustering.

  • Group the locations into clusters based on your criteria.

Once you have created the clusters, you can activate those that you want to use as the basis of follow-on activities.
