Hi team

Today RTLCA features 2 graphs for hotspot analysis - by type and by material. However the `by Material` is actually what I would call `by Material Category`.

Could you add a third graph for the specifically used materials (what we call byggevarer in Danish)? We have taken your excel export for the project breakdown, parsed the results ourselves and made the missing hotspot graph ourselves. So the data is already there, we just to add the graph 😁

Added to roadmap - and yes, data is there. Now we’ll need to figure out where to put it in the dashboard view.

Good one - and we need to take away that work-around 😉 This has my upvote in the next cycle planning 😉 Thanks Mark.
