InetSoft Technology: Dynamic Dashboarding Software - Values

Matching values within dynamic dashboard software allows you to link complex and seemingly unrelated information into an elegant data-filled tapestry. View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

When you link an input control with a component property, you should ensure that the input control evaluates to a permissible value for the particular property. There are three main cases.

If a property requires a numerical value, the input control should provide an appropriate numerical value.

For example, the ‘Ranking’ property in the Chart data binding requires an integer value. An appropriate control for this property would therefore be a Spinner with ‘Increment’ property set to an integer value.

If a property has a ‘True’ or ‘False’ setting, the input control should provide a Boolean value.

For example, the ‘Enabled’ property expects a Boolean value ‘true’ or ‘false’. An appropriate control for this property would therefore be a RadioButton with embedded list values {true, false}, and with ‘Data Type’ set to ‘Boolean’.

If a property requires one of a fixed set of strings, the input control should
provide a string from the set.

For example, the ‘Visible’ property requires one of the strings ‘Show’, ‘Hide’, or ‘Hide on Print and Export’. The input control must therefore return one of these strings. An appropriate control for this property would therefore be a RadioButton with embedded list values {‘Show’, ‘Hide’, ‘Hide on Print and Export’}, and with ‘Data Type’ set to ‘String’.

InetSoft Viewpoint

"The trend long term for performance management, even business intelligence, for that matter, is allowing us to do more. It’s allowing users to do more for themselves. Nowadays there's a buzzword for it: self-service BI. Certainly we’re a big proponent of that. But a key is to spend less time within the solution, and get more value. That ends up being the perennial challenge. That’s why there is so much left to be done. With other BI solutions, they still require a fair amount of training to get up to speed on them. Therefore companies using them have needed fairly skilled individuals. They have had to invest in training programs to give them the skills. So that is changing somewhat with easier-to-use solutions like ours. Instead of forcing user to adapt to the technology, we’re trying to make it as intuitive as possible, using point-and-click controls, going heavy with visualization as a means to explore the data, et cetera." - Mark Flaherty, CMO, InetSoft
