Benchmarks
In benchmarks it's possible to create different benchmarks. This can be used to compare a selected farm to a selected benchmark. In the startscreen of benchmark you see a button to create a new benchmark, an overview of existing benchmarks which you can adjust by clicking on the pencil and an overview of received benchmarks from other organizations.
When you want to create a benchmark click on "Create Benchmark" and setup the benchmark you want.

- Top amount
- Bottom percentage
- Bottom amount
- Average (not able to select a key figure)
- When selecting one of the other options than average, then you must choose one of the keyfigures. In the image below we choose for top 25% based on the key figure "Pigs weaned / sow / year".
- You can select one or more characteristics to filter farms in your benchmark. If you select multiple characteristics then all characteristics will be applied to the farm selection. Characteristics are created and assigned to farms on the characteristics setting page. Creating characteristics and assigning them to a farm is shown later.
- You can add multiple characteristics as filter by clicking on the plus button and if you want to remove one or more then click on the minus button.
When creating or adding your benchmark you've got a few other options. (see the image below)
- Save the benchmark.

Characteristics
In characteristics it's possible to create different characteristics. This can be used as a benchmark filter or to make analyses over a group of farms based on certain characteristics. In the startscreen of characteristics you see a button to create a new characteristic, oyu also see an overview of existing characteristics which you can adjust by clicking on the pencil.
When you want to create a characteristic, click on "Create Characteristics" and setup the characteristic you want.
The image below will appear and you have several options:
- Fill in a characteristic name

Characteristics per farm
When you've created charactteristics you can assign them to a farm. See the image below.
You'll see an overview of all the farms connected to your organization with the different characteristics assigned per farm. This can be multiple characteristics. With the pencil you have the option to adjust and with the dustbin you're able to unassign a characteristic.
When you click on "Add" next to a farm you'll see the image below. Here you can select the characteristic and the value, when done click on "Assign".
The list of assigned characteristics can be long and therefore a filter option is made. You can filter on farm, characteristics and characteristics values. Characteristics value is only visible when a characteristic is selected.
