Useful Dashboard Gadgets

InetSoft's Style Intelligence offers the most robust set of gadgets to turn any mess of data into something more palatable for analysis and discovery.

Data Views

Of course, for those users with minimal IT training, InetSoft offers an interface that includes the most basic elements for dashboard creation.

These users have access to data-bindable tables, charts, and graphs that can bring their data to life through the use of an intuitive drag-and-drop creation interface.

These components can be controlled by filters, which will be discussed below.

Filters

Using the same drag-and-drop interface, users can filter data through sections lists, trees, and containers, as well as through range sliders and calendars.


Selection Lists are used to filter the data displayed by other components; however, they also provide feedback to you on the selections you make.

The Selection tree is a hierarchical filtering element.

A Selection Container can display all of the filters that are currently operating on the dashboard. It can hold Selection List and Range Slider components, allowing end-users to add new selection components to a dashboard.

The Range Slider element filters data to fall within a specified range. It can be used on both Date fields and Numeric fields, and provides the ability to filter data by consecutive dates or numbers.

A Calendar allows you to select data by time range, measured in weeks or months. It also facilitates comparative aggregation, for example, the side-by-side comparison of total quantity purchased during the month of December in the last 2 years.

Input Components

You can enter data into dashboards using the input components (Slider, Spinner, Combo Box, etc.)

Input elements, unlike selection elements, do not merely filter a fixed set of data. Instead, they cause re-execution of queries and modify the original result set.

Sliders and Spinners are interactive input elements that can supply numerical data to Embedded Tables and Variables in the underlying Worksheet and Viewsheet component properties. Sliders and Spinners differ from one another only in appearance.

Radio Buttons, Check Boxes, and Combo Boxes are used to enter numeric or non-numeric data into an Embedded Table or Variable in the underlying Worksheet. They can also be used to set dynamic properties of other dashboard components, e.g., visibility, color, etc.

The Submit button provides a way for the user to trigger a scripted action in the Viewsheet. This action is performed by a script that you place in the 'onClick' handler of the Submit button.

The TextInput component allows a user to enter arbitrary data in the form of text, date, integer, or floating point values. This component is commonly used together with the Submit Button to commit user edits to the database.



Output Components


Graphical output components display summarized data using a familiar measurement device (Gauge, Cylinder, Thermometer, Sliding Scale, etc.).

The highly graphical nature of these objects makes them ideal candidates for presenting key indicators. Like data views, graphical output components are controlled by selection and input components.

Thermometers, Cylinders, Scales, and Gauges are identical in terms of data binding and functionality. They display a summarized value for a single column in a Data Block, query, or model. These output components differ only in appearance.
