Matrix Screen

Matrix Overview

The Matrix feature enables users to connect and display data from multiple Salesforce objects within a single grid. With an Excel-like interface, it allows users to view and bulk edit data using grid-like capabilities. Matrix supports data summarization at group and sub-group levels and provides dynamic column grouping with one or multiple dimensions.

Matrix designers or admins can create new matrices, while standard users can run these matrices and make changes to Salesforce data in the unique visualization experience.

Salesforce users can monitor monthly sales data by product category or region, manage complex quoting across locations or period, forecasting, demand planning and so much more using the Matrix feature.

The Valorx Matrix feature enables users to connect and display data from multiple Salesforce objects within a single grid. You can create a matrix using the following options:

• 3-Object Matrix: For Quoting and Sales Forecasting, Pricebook Management

• 2-Object Matrix: For Opportunity and Forecasting Schedules

• 1-Object Matrix: For Forecasting using Fact tables across customers
