​
Driver

A time series that tracks numerical or date-based values over time. Drivers come in these types:
  • Unsegmented driver – Typically created in a driver table on a page or model (e.g. Burn, Runway).
  • Segmented driver – Broken down by one or more dimensions. Most often created in a database (e.g. Amount [Account][Class]).
    • Segment of a driver – A single portion of a segmented driver (e.g. Amount [2300 — Payroll Liabilities][Engineering]).

  • Integration-created – Pulled from systems like your GL, HRIS, or CRM.
  • User-created – Built from scratch for modeling assumptions, rollups, or lookups.
