Last update: October '18
IMAP has two modules specially dedicated to provide you with information to support your decisions: Explore and Insights. The Explore one shows you information about the progress of your journey from different perspectives using a variety of visualizations to ease you its interpretation. You can learn more about the Insights module in the Structure of IMAP: insights guide.
THE 3 LEVELS
The information found in this (Explore) module is divided in three groups, based on the level of detail provided over the goal, having the top level less detail than the bottom level:
-
Goal (top level), focused on the progress towards the objective.
-
Summaries (medium level), with information related to tracing, profit, returns, costs, and risks.
-
Products (bottom level), product information: share, bond, fund, and liquidity.
As it can be seen in the image below, each of the previous three groups is separated by a circle (●). Each group can have at the same time different elements including different information. Each of these elements are separated by a vertical line (|).
