## Common Workflows

#### 1. High-Level Analysis Workflow

**High-level analysis** — Start in the Workforce Hub for a bird's-eye view > use aggregate charts like Layers and Spans of Control to identify patterns > apply filters to focus on specific departments > note areas of concern or opportunity.

**Detailed discovery** — Begin with Hub charts to identify potential issues > navigate to the Org Chart > use Spotlight to drill into specific positions > analyze individual manager situations > return to Hub to verify impact of potential changes.

**Presentation** — Configure charts with relevant filters and settings > export individual charts or create a Slide Pack > download as PowerPoint for executive presentations > use CSV exports for detailed data analysis.

### Navigation Tips

* Use the **Go to Hub** button (top-right) to return to the chart library
* Use keyboard shortcuts: Press **1-5** to jump between main sections
* The **show table** function reveals position-level breakdowns
* Click on chart elements for interactive filtering (chart-specific)

### Best Practices

* **Check filters first** — always verify what data is in scope before analysis
* **Use multiple chart types** — different charts reveal different insights
* **Export early and often** — save snapshots of analysis for reference
* **Combine with org chart** — use Hub for high-level analysis, org chart for details
* **Consider context** — numbers alone don't tell the story; understand the business context behind the data
