Advanced Dashboard Filtering - Using InetSoft's award-winning dashboard software, users can unite complex and disparate data formats into one cohesive report by performing advanced dashboard data filtering. To specify conditions on both pre-aggregate and post-aggregate data, as well as group rankings, use the 'Advanced Conditions' dialog box. Advanced conditions can additionally be joined using both 'AND' and 'OR' operations. If you only need pre-aggregate conditions and 'AND' operations, you can use simple conditions instead. To define advanced conditions, follow these steps: 1. Click the 'Condition' button on the title bar of a Data Table. This opens the 'Condition' dialog box. 2. Select the 'Advanced Conditions' check box. The 'Advanced Conditions' check box can be used to toggle between simple and advanced conditions. However, when switching from the 'Advanced conditions' mode to the 'Simple Conditions' mode, if an advanced condition cannot be mapped to a simple condition, it will be permanently removed from the list of conditions. 3. Define a condition on pre-aggregate data, post-aggregate data, or ranking by clicking on the corresponding 'Edit' button...

Aggregating Dashboard Data - Users can easily aggregate data and create comprehensive reports from different data sources using InetSoft's award-winning dashboard software. View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution. To define grouping and aggregation columns (summary columns) for a Data table, follow these steps: 1. Right-click the table's title row and select 'Group and Aggregate'. This opens the 'Aggregate' dialog box. 2. Select the grouping columns by clicking the 'Group' check box next to one or more column names. When you enable grouping for a column, by default each distinct value in the column defines its own group. Aggregation is then based on these groups. For example, if you group a column of state names, each distinct state name will define its own group, and aggregate values will be computed for each of those groups. 3. (Optional) If a user-defined group matches the grouping column data format (String, Double, etc.), you can select the user-defined group from the right-side menu. User-defined groups give you greater flexibility in partitioning the entries in a column for grouping. If you select a user-defined grouping from the menu, aggregations will be based on that user-defined grouping...

Analytical vs Operations Dashboards - Analytical or Operations Dashboards? Operations Dashboard There are two main varieties of dashboards: analytical dashboards and operational dashboards. Analytics dashboards are just that, analytical. They are created for the sole purpose of gaining knowledge and insight from data. Users of these dashboards seek insight into the past and the future, wondering what happened and what's to come. Operations dashboards, on the other hand, are not created specifically to learn. They exist to manage the day-to-day occurences of a business. Like anytical applications, operations dasahboards are capable of revealing data trends. Their key function, however, comes from their ability to drill down through current intelligence to get alerts and recognize probable issues that may arise...

Automating Dashboards - The fact that I know that something changed was good, but my assumption was bad. So you really have to follow up and ask questions, and make sure you are interpreting the data correctly. We used to have an associate vice president who would look at data and make really inappropriate conclusions from the data. And it did nothing but hurt our ability to address the data correctly. You do have to make sure that you are using data in an appropriate way. Once you do have that data formatted as useful information, that you it can really help you accelerate the operations efficiency of your department. It can also help you get the things that you need. When we went to build this dashboard, these were my requirements. I want no manual intervention. Why? It doesn’t happen. The data load might happen the first few times. And then something will get in the way, and then a month will go before you catch up. You can’t make a decision a month in arrears. Everything has to be automated. I wanted the data there. I wanted it to be no more than 24 hours old, and I wanted it to be something automatic. Nobody had to think about this. I didn’t want any staff have to do anything. So that we could make these decisions, I wanted all of the processes to be automated...
