Adding up, means and copying

In the Envirometer, you can add up barometer years. This is useful if you want to calculate an annual total for an organization with several branches. The total sum function can also be used to copy the entered values into a different barometer.

Add up barometer years

• Go to manage ‘Barometers’ section in the start menu.
• Select ‘Sum’ in the top bar.
  • Select the years you want to add up. The filter can be used to easily select a single year.
  • Target barometer: The barometer where the sum total should be entered. If necessary, you can first expand your subscription with an additional barometer to use for this purpose.
  • Include preliminary values: Data marked in blue will also be included in the sum total. This is usually what you want.
  • Copy all items: The barometers being totalled may have more items ‘enabled’ than in the target barometer. Under the ‘copy all items’ settings, you have the choice to copy all items of the source barometers, which means the target barometer extends when needed. Otherwise, you can choose to keep the target barometer finetuning. This means that items in the source barometer that are not enabled in the target barometer, are not copied to the target barometer.
  • Select the year and, if desired, a title for the sum total.

Update/refresh the sum total

If the figures in one of the totalled barometers have changed, the sum total will not be changed automatically. For that, you need to refresh the sum. If you go to manage ‘Barometers’ in the start menu, you can:

• Use the refresh button (all sum totals in your subscription will be recalculated).
• Select one barometer and use the refresh button (all sum totals in that barometer will be recalculated).
• Select one barometer year and use the (+) to recalculate the sum total of that year only.

Copy a year to another barometer

Adding up a completed year and an empty year lets you copy the values entered in the completed year into another (new) barometer. Comments will not be copied along with the values.

Calculate the average

The ‘average’ function lets you calculate the average between multiple barometers. The settings are similar to the sum function. Normalize on… means that your larger ‘branches’ (measured by means of the company data you select) are given more weight in the average.
