Key purpose
Compare the breakdown of specified diversity responses by month submitted and against a comparison period.
Charts
Multi-pie chart for each related diversity metric (or stacked column/bar chart).
By month app submitted for filtered period.
Total for comparison period.
Labels are volume/percentage only.
Colour indicates segment name as per chart legend.
The Fancy Stuff
Specific metrics are set up for each separate diversity count, with multiple fields per diversity grouping.
Comparison period data is generated via a union query.
Filters are linked between the master and union query.
Comparison period filter value (e.g. This Calendar Year) is embedded in the report canvas via parameter replacement text.
Results are ordered by hidden columns.
Expansion Ideas
Create version with single pie chart per diversity group, e.g. breakdown for a single job.
Copy and repeat for shortlisted/interviewed/suitable/placed candidates.
Pie and multi-pie charts are only recommended for metrics with up to four segments. Alternative chart types are stacked column or bar charts for metrics with a larger number of segments.
