The 4 Quadrant Concept
Before we get into the details on the Labor tab and break things down for you, we need to have a quick
conversation about the four (4) quadrant layout because what you see there is based on this concept.
Many of you might remember this idea from school, but its worth a quick review.
This coordinate system is based on a grid and consists of:
Four (4) quadrants
Horizontal axis know as the X axis
Vertical axis know as the Y axis
The origin, where the X and Y axis meet
And just like a number line, you can also have negative values.
When we include the negative values, the x and y axes divide the space up into 4 areas, the 4 quadrants.
In quadrant I both the x and y are positive (+), but
In quadrant II the x is negative (-), y is still positive (+)
In quadrant III both x and y are negative (-)
In quadrant IV x is positive (+), y is negative (-)
Example
When we take a look at the graph on the below, the two big takeaways are:
Encourage every property to be striving to be in Quadrant I, and provide specific guidance to those in Quadrant III
If you find a property is appearing in Quadrants III and IV you need to provide guidance to help them correct their rooms labor
Quadrant I — Properties are up in
both room revenue against forecast
locked and MTD rooms labor is under
budget against their internal labor
forecast
Quadrant VI — Properties room
revenue against forecast locked is up
and MTD rooms labor is over budget
against their internal labor forecast
Quadrant II — Properties room
revenue is down against forecast
locked and MTD rooms labor is
under budget against their internal
labor forecast
Quadrant III — Properties are
down in both room revenue against
forecast locked and MTD rooms
labor is over budget against their
internal labor forecast

The number of the property you are viewing is always displayed in the upper left corner of the Above
Property Flash dashboard. This number will change depending on how you have filtered the data and
your current view.
Using the Cycle button or clicking a bubble can change the number of properties that are
displayed. For more information about the functionality of the Cycle button, see page X

Axis
Above Property Flash Dashboard
It’s important to understand the data that you are look at on the dashboard homepage, therefore you need to know the meaning of both the X and Y axis.
Each axis is broken down by
positive and negative percentages,
above and below the blue line
respectively.
The Y Axis — The vertical axis, references the MTD (month to date) Internal
Labor FT (flow through) Guidance as a % of Room Labor.
Having a positive number on this axis indicates that your properties is better
managing their room labor than either forecast locked or budget
The X Axis — The horizontal axis, references the Room
Revenue Variance to FCL (forecast locked).
A positive number on this axis indicates that your properties
are performing better in room revenue than forecast locked
or budget.

Navigation Components Guide
Cycle Button
Above Property Flash Dashboard
Depending on what you are interested in seeing, try one of the following common paths to filter the data:
Hierarchy: Division, RVP / DVP, Property
Geographical: Division, State, Property
Ownership: Division, Owner, Property
The Cycle Button allows you to compare properties through the following lenses: Division, RVP/DVP, Property Owner, Property and State.
By simply clicking this button you will rotate through the comparison options and each will display on the screen — note the changes of the bubbles on the
chart.
You will need to use a combination of the cycle button and property bubbles to
drilldown to get to the information you need.
1. Click the Cycle button (s) based on your interest (hierarchy, geographical
or ownership)
2. Click the bubble displayed on the graph to drill-down
Here are a couple examples of what you might see based on possible selections.

The Bubble
The Comparison options let you decide if you want to view the graph using
either forecast locked or budget numbers.
You can determine which option is currently showing by noting the blue text. In the example on this page, FCL is the current selection.
Comparison
FCL / Budget
Above Property Flash Dashboard
The bubble(s) represent the current filter your selected using cycle button and has three components:
Location—tells you how the property performing
Size — tells you how significant the property is against the portfolio as a revenue variance in dollars
Tool Tips— hovering over each bubble will give you the numbers behind the bubbles location on chart. It gives you the exact variance in $ an % and flow through in both $ and %
All information in the report was generated on the date in the upper right corner
of the Above Property Flash dashboard, which is populated data through the
previous day. However the system is live and updates could impact the
report.
Report Date
Sage BI runs an hourly reload of all SHARP data. This process takes 15
to complete. Your new numbers should be available at approximately the
15 minute mark in the next hour.
When you upload new data into SHARP it will appear in QlikView that same day. The new data will be visible at approximately 15 minutes after each hour.

Back & Clear
Buttons
Whether you are making selections, using filters or drilling-down to refine the data you are viewing you might find that you need to step back to the previous selection or clear all of the actions you have made, use either the Back or
Clear buttons.
Back — Takes you back one step at a time
Clear — Resets ALL choices you have made, but leaves you on the current page with the default view
The MTD F&B Summary is helpful in identifying top and bottom performers.
To do this, use the filters Comparing, Against and/or As a and combine with the sort function of the column headings.
Once you decide what you want to compare, against what and how you want it to display — you can
sort the properties using to column headings — double-click the column heading of your choice.
You can then toggle between ascending or descending order.
Above Property Flash Dashboard
The MTD Summary section displays the selected properties as determined by the bubble chart.
You have two charts in the Month to Date Summary section:

The MTD POR Summary is helpful in identifying top and bottom performers.
In this summary section you can see that we have two main headings, Rooms Labor POR and F&B % Labor of F&B Revenue, and each of them have sub-different headings that you can double-click and sort.
You can then toggle between ascending or descending order.
The MTD POR (Per Occupied Room section displays the selected proper-ties as determined by the bubble chart.
