Select Tools in the menu to access the home page of this section. This menu will usually be available as of Period 3.
The Tools section provides you with a charting tool as well as with other decision-support tools that may become available at a later stage depending on your instructor.
The charting tool is depicted on Figure 36. It provides you with a multitude of graphs and with a scorecard. It is pretty easy to use. The menu at the top lists all the available graphs and charts. Select one of them in the list to display it in the main window.
Depending on the chart that you have selected, additional drop-down choice boxes will show up below the menu, as shown on Figure 36. These choice boxes will let you zoom in a particular market, segment, channel, period or firm. They may also be used to view the data in units (e.g.: volume sold) or in value (e.g.: retail sales). The Next and Previous buttons let you navigate across all graphs without using the menu.
All charts may be copied and pasted in PowerPoint; printed or saved in a file. Click on the chart and right-click your mouse to show a menu that will let you choose what you want to do with the picture.
