3 Visualization Dashboards
One of the best ways for you to gain an understanding of your data is to explore and experiment. Visualization is the key to doing this, and Style Intelligence provides a powerful visualization solution through easy-to-use dashboards called “Viewsheets”.
Viewsheet technology enables you to answer known questions and discover new questions to ask. Examples of some common kinds of problems that you can solve with Viewsheets are listed below:
• “I need to view selective portions of my data, without resubmitting a set of parameters over and over again to generate new reports.”
• “I need to analyze my data, but I have knowledge of the business, and not of how the data is stored.”
• “I need to perform interactive 'What If' analysis on my data, i.e., change inputs to test a hypothetical scenario.”
• “I need to analyze data obtained from different sources in real-time, e.g., data from an Excel spreadsheet and an Oracle database.”
• “I need to analyze live operational data as well as historical data.”
Note: Viewsheets are available only in Style Intelligence and Style Scope.
This chapter will familiarize you with Viewsheets and dashboards. See Dashboard Design for complete information on creating and editing Viewsheets.
