Creating a Dashboard Table - Using InetSoft's dashboard software makes it easy to create a dashboard table that will communicate multi-dimensional data in a simple and concise way. You can combine data from multiple queries and different data sources into a Data Table, producing a single dataset that contains meaningful and useful information. Tables have many different roles. Many Data Table operations create and maintain links between the component Data Tables, conditions, expressions, etc. These links are displayed graphically by dashed lines connecting the assets. When the configuration or value of a linked asset is changed, the impact of the change propagates to all its dependent components. This dynamic data updating makes it easy to explore the data and to perform cause and effect analysis. To create a regular Data Table from a query or data model, drag one of the following assets from the Asset Repository tree into the Worksheet: • Query • Query column • Data model entity • Data model attribute This creates a new Data Table in the Worksheet. If you drag a query column or a data model attribute into the Worksheet, then a table with just one column is created. If you drag a full query or a data model entity to the Worksheet, then a table is created which contains all the columns in the selected query or all the attributes in the selected entity...
