What Are Targets?

Targets is the area where you manage the things you forecast and track — your measures and metrics. Its purpose, as the page describes it, is to manage your metrics and measures.

The Targets page has two sections:

  • Measures — raw data. Measures are created when you import data from your Sources, so this section fills in as you connect data. Each measure card carries a Type toggle — Flow (amounts that sum over time, the default) or Stock (balances shown at period end, like Cash or PP&E). See Flows and stocks.
  • Metrics — derived values calculated from a formula that references your measures and other metrics. See Creating Metrics with the Formula Builder.

For the conceptual difference between the two, see Metrics vs. Measures.

"Target" as a term

Throughout Galdera, a target is any single measure or metric you select to act on — what an overlay applies to, or what a report or chart displays. In selection controls you'll see each option labeled with a Measure or Metric badge, and the picker prompts you to Select targets…. So when Galdera asks for a "target," it's asking which measure or metric you mean.
