Introduction

Bridge controls can be used as chart on in the Free Format Template and are used to analyze the variance between two periods or categories for an account. The variances are analyzed over a specific Dimension which is normally the entity dimension or an analytical dimension. The variances are sorted on their absolute values from the highest variance to the smallest variance.
