2 Dashboards

One of the best ways for you to gain an understanding of your data is to explore and experiment through the process called visualization. Style Intelligence dashboards provide a powerful and easy way to visualize your data.

Style Intelligence dashboards are also called “Viewsheets”.

Style Intelligence dashboards enable you to discover answers to existing questions and discover new questions to ask. Here are some common kinds of problems that you can solve with dashboards:

“I want to view selective portions of my data without resubmitting a set of parameters over and over again.”

“I need to analyze my data, but I only have knowledge of the business, and not of how the data is stored.”

“I need to perform interactive 'what if' analysis on my data, for example, changing inputs to test hypothetical scenarios.”

“I need to analyze data obtained from different sources in real-time, for example, data from an Excel spreadsheet and an Oracle database.”

“I need to analyze live operational data as well as historical data.”

Note: Dashboards are available only in Style Intelligence and Style Scope.

This chapter will familiarize you with Style Intelligence dashboards. See Dashboard Design for complete information on creating and editing dashboards.
