Using the top 10 manufacturers dashboard

Each bar on the graph will show the spend breakdown by manufacturer based on your spend for hardware, software and services related to that manufacturer.

Filtering and comparing results in the dashboard

Select last 12 months or custom action buttons to change the dates of the report. The compare with previous period checkbox will provide you with an additional bar graph of either month-over-month (MoM) or year-over-year (YoY) results depending on the date range selected.

Selecting the bar graph of a specific manufacturer will narrow down spend data into a breakdown by product type. Hovering your mouse over a bar graph will display spend details in the selected currency. Use the currency drop-down menu to change your currency view.
