Format pack properties for clearer analysis

Orgvue product update

Published by Orgvue 

The way a value is displayed can determine how quickly it is understood. Pack properties in Orgvue can now use formatting options that make numbers easier to scan and communicate.

For example, a monetary value stored as 1000 can be displayed as $1k. This is particularly useful in charts, summary cards and other views where space is limited and the audience needs to compare values quickly.

The improvement also brings pack properties into line with dataset properties, giving people who build Workspace content a more consistent set of formatting choices. You can present the value at an appropriate scale without changing the underlying data.

Use property formatting to keep analysis precise while making the output more readable for decision-makers. Open the relevant pack property, choose the format that fits the measure and review how it appears in the slide before sharing.
