InetSoft Technology: Dashboard Application

InetSoft's dashboard application allows hierarchical arrangement of multidimensional data and produces brilliant visualizations. View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

There are two ways to add additional hierarchy levels to a Selection Tree. The following sections explain both methods.

To add levels to an existing Selection Tree hierarchy, follow these steps:

1. Expand a Data Block (table) or cube dimension in the Component tree.

2. Ctrl-click or Shift-click to select one or more columns in the Data Block or one or more levels in the cube dimension.

3. Drag the selected columns or levels onto an existing Selection Tree that is bound to the same Data Block or cube dimension. (Drop the columns or levels onto the Selection Tree when the green highlight appears.)

This adds the selected fields to the bottom (inner-most levels) of the Selection Tree hierarchy. The nesting order for the new levels is determined by the order in which you selected the fields in the Component tree.

To add hierarchy levels to a Selection Tree, follow these steps:

You can also drag and drop a single column directly onto the empty Selection List element.

1. Right-click on the Selection Tree, and select ‘Properties’ from the context menu. This opens the ‘Selection Tree Properties’ dialog box.

2. Select the Data tab.

3. From the ‘Table’ list, select the Data Block column or cube dimension that you wish to add to the hierarchy.

4. Click ‘Add’.

5. Repeat to add any additional levels to the hierarchy. To change the hierarchy ordering, use the ‘Move Down’ and ‘Move Up’ buttons. The order from top to bottom represents the nesting order from outer to inner.

6. Click ‘OK’ to close the dialog.

InetSoft Viewpoint

"You actually use more business intelligence capabilities. So in between the execution phase and the final evaluation, you’re constantly tracking and monitoring your performance so you can tune your execution. That’s where business intelligence with dashboards for analysis and monitoring come in. And in between the evaluation phase and incorporating your learnings or findings and adapting your strategy, you need to do some in-depth analytics. That’s the more traditional forecasting or predictive analytics as well as things like data mining. So there is a piece that is more business intelligence as it relates to the management system, and then there is a piece that is more performance management, and you couple them together. After some months of active use of the platform, go back to the users and find out where they get value out of the system, what they’ve been using it for, and start to use those thought leaders, the folks that have been the most aggressive users getting this value out of it. Use them, perhaps, as a way to add the additional performance management capabilities into the organization." - Mark Flaherty, CMO, InetSoft
