The Baseline Viewlet enables comparison of the value of any trended variable, such as energy consumption, production, resource usage, etc. for the “current” time period versus a prior time range, creating a “baseline” period. The comparison may be visualized either in direct units, or through a “delta mode” showing the net of current minus baseline values. This is very useful in highlighting changes in performance over time.
The baseline can be plotted as a line, dashed line, or color-coded bubbles, as seen in the example above. The user can visualize their changes in performance through the delta mode, where the differences are effectively presented. If the performance orb option is selected, the user can display a colorized orb that displays increase or decrease percentages.
Baseline Comparison Configuration
Trends:
You can select a single trend by filtering Locations or Units, or both. Additionally you can start typing in the trend name in the search box to narrow down the search field. The Units are dictated by the global properties inside Periscope Config If you don't like the default color, you can change it via the color boxes on the far right.

Performance Orb:
Adds a color graphic “Arrow Orb” arrow orb to the viewlet, enabling “at-a-glance” determination of “better” better or “worse” worse conditions for a selected data set. The user can select if up or down is good or bad, and when or if the orb is displayed.
