H i s t o r i c a l To p - l i n e F i n a n c i a l s
• Using the Usage Data object, we can track week-over-week
progress towards financial goals.
• With Rules Engine, we sum and write financial data onto Usage Data
records.
• Requires a series of custom fields on Usage Data object: Upsell,
Downsell, Churn, Gross Renewed ARR, etc.
• Once the Rules run, Custom formula fields calculate the Gross and Net Renewal
Rates for each week.
• The “Target” line is set by loading an identical value into a custom field
for each week.
