Create Data Buckets

Use data buckets to create a new attribute based on where a measure falls in a range of values, or as a percentile rank, without the assistance of an Insights administrator.

Create a Data Bucket

  1. Click Advanced Tools → Open Data Buckets.

  2. Type a name for your data bucket.
  3. Select the subject area to which you want to save the data bucket.
  4. Select a measure.
  5. Select an attribute.
  6. Provide a default bucket category. This is a catch-all category for any null values or items that are not in a defined bucket.
  7. Indicate the number of buckets you want to create by setting an absolute value or by selecting the bucket size. If you select a bucket size, the number of buckets is automatically generated by the application.
    Tip: You can set the number values using the slider or by typing a number in the No. of buckets field.

    Note: The data bucket is saved in the subject area as an attribute for reports and as a separate function for quick editing.
