InetSoft Product Instructions: Scorecard Measures

To represent multiple measures on a single chart, simply define a GraphElement object for each measure, and add the GraphElement to the Chart.

View a five-minute Flash demo to get an overview of what InetSoft's business intelligence software, Style Intelligence, can do and how easy it is to use.

Consider the following script.

Note: Report script that modifies 'graph' should be placed at the element level. See Adding Element-Level Script.

importPackage(inetsoft.graph)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.element)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.coord)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.data)
 
var arr = [["State", "Quantity 1", "Quantity 2"],
           ["NJ",200,500], ["NY",300,1000],
           ["PA",370,440], ["CT",75,20]];
dataset = new DefaultDataSet(arr);
graph = new EGraph();
var elem1 = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity 1");
graph.addElement(elem1);

This creates a basic bar chart displaying the dimensions 'State' and 'Quantity 1'. To add the measure 'Quantity 2' to the chart as line element, follow the steps below:

1. Create a new LineElement to represent the graph of 'Quantity 2' vs. 'State'.

var elem2 = new LineElement("State", "Quantity 2");

2. Assign this new element to the main Chart object.

graph.addElement(elem2);

A legend is created automatically. To modify the legend, make changes to the VisualFrame's LegendSpec property. See Changing Legend Properties.

InetSoft Viewpoint

“PThe goal overall of data virtualization is agile business, and we really need to put business at the center of this whole discussion. You know we are not really interested in building pretty architecture pictures here. The goal is to really enable a fast incremental business value driven evolution of the organization and so we ask what role therefore does enterprise architecture and information management play in that? How can we make that iterative agility as much as possible self-service enabled by the business people. You want pervasive business intelligence at the edges of the organization, not all centralized.

The idea is virtualized access to information as a service, and we will explore what that means architecturally, but the idea is you want to be able to deliver the right information to the right person or persons at the right time and not make that very complex or difficult to do. In this context, enterprise architecture is evolving more away from just being a set of boxes that represent well here is my IT or infrastructure architecture, here is my messaging architecture, here is my information architecture, my business process architecture, and application and solution architecture.

All of those are still very important. But I think one of the main changes that we are seeing in enterprise architecture is it’s evolving and aligning itself more to business capabilities, and those business capabilities are not necessarily division or function specific, but they could be combinations of functions. So customer facing capabilities, manufacturing capabilities, supply chain and partnership capabilities, innovation capabilities in the product area are all considered. The idea is to think about what the business really needs, what business capabilities are needed. Then align the right technologies to support that.” - Mark Flaherty, Chief Marketing Officer
