InetSoft Product Resources: Dashboards and Dashboarding

These pages are useful resources about InetSoft's dashboard software, including demos, examples, how-to's and explanations of the benefits and features:

Dashboard Component Data - InetSoft's dashboard software allows users to customize component data to ensure that complex info is broken down into easy to recognize pieces. For Table, Crosstab, and Selection List components, expression scripts can acquire actual data values from the component using relative or absolute references. The keywords below allow you to access cells within a table or Selection List by using relative indexing (i.e., reference in relation to current cell). You can type these keywords manually into your script, or you can click the appropriate node on the 'Component' tree in the Script Editor. This example sets the text colors and fill colors of table cells based on data values within the table. If a price is greater than $1000, the price displays in red text, otherwise, in blue text.

Dashboard Component Properties - In InetSoft's Style Intelligence application, dashboard component properties grant end-users full control over the changes they wish to make to data visualizations. The ‘Properties’ dialog box for output components provides the following tabs: General, Data, Advanced, and Pre-Aggregate. The next sections discuss the output-specific properties available under these tabs. The General tab in the ‘Properties’ dialog box provides the following unique properties for output elements. Note: If you are connecting to the server via “https” in Internet Explorer, you may need to change the following Internet Explorer setting in order for the ‘Face’ property to update correctly: In Internet Explorer, open the ‘Internet Options’ dialog box, and click the ‘Browsing History Settings’ button to open the ‘Temporary Internet Files’ dialog box. Select ‘Every time I visit the web page’ under ‘Check for newer versions of stored pages’...

Dashboard Composer - InetSoft's dashboard composer is a unique and innovative approach to business intelligence that allows you to customize the way your data is displayed. When Visual Composer cannot automatically match your geographical data to the locations in the geographical database, the ‘Geographic Feature Names’ dialog box will prompt you to manually create the correct mapping. To manually match the geographical data with locations in the database, follow the steps below: 1. In the Hierarchy tab of the ‘Map Properties’ dialog box, click the ‘Check’ button. This opens the ‘Geographic Feature Names’ dialog box, which displays any unmatched geographical values in the left panel. If the left panel is empty, then all geographical values have been correctly matched, and you can click ‘OK’ to exit. 2. If an administrator has already created an alternate mapping for you to use, click the ‘Load’ button to access the mapping. This opens the ‘Load Mapping’ dialog box. Choose the appropriate mapping, and click ‘OK’. 3. If there is no predefined mapping file for your data, then proceed to manually match the geographical names. Follow the steps below..

Dashboard Conference Mailing - Users can create templates that efficiently mail conference reports out ahead of time, saving a great deal of time and effort, and available in InetSoft's comprehensive real-time analytical reporting solution and dashboard software. Compiling a custom mailing list for an upcoming conference is a necessary, but laborious, task. The functions provided by the Data Worksheet simplify this task. Say we are hosting a conference for select customers and we would like to send them printed invitations. Seating is limited, so sending an invitation to every customer would not be cost effective. Therefore, to narrow down the list of the customers to whom we will send the invitation, we can use their order history. Suppose we decide to send an invitation only to the following customers: • The top 3 customers this year • The customers who have purchased at least one of our products in the last two weeks In this example, we will make use of the following components and methods: • A User-Defined Date Range • Advanced conditions • Concatenated table options • Group and aggregate options • A table value in the filter conditions...

Dashboard Creation Objects - This section lists objects for for use in sales management dashboards and performance management dashboards. A Separator is a horizontal line across a page. It can be drawn using any one of the line styles supported by Style Intelligence. A Space element defines horizontal white space. The spacing is defined as points. The TOC element defines a Table Of Contents in a report. The items in a TOC element are automatically discovered from heading elements. A report only needs to specify the style of the TOC. A Report Bean is a reusable, customizable composite report element. The Bean object represents a report bean inside a report. Report Bean's properties are defined when a report bean is created in the Designer. The parameters defined on the bean can be accessed through the bean object. The StyleReport object is a static object that contains all definitions for constants used in the Style Intelligence host environment. These constants can be accessed without creating an instance of a StyleReport object, as shown below. The XType object contains all data type constants. The constants are used to specify the data type of a parameter when defining report parameters. The following types are defined in the XType object...
