Dashboard Report Server - The dashboard report server offers a unique approach to creating reports that allows for faster streamlined data retrieval. To run a client viewer on a different machine than the server, you need to set up a server object to handle the viewer requests. The default server object implementation of the repository is based on the standard Java RMI distributed object protocol. The implementation requires the rmiregistry to be running. (There should be only one rmiregistry per server.) To start an RMI repository on the server, follow these steps: 1. Start the rmiregistry process. On a Windows platform, start the registry in a separate window as follows: -start rmiregistry -On a Unix platform, start the registry as a background process: -nohup rmiregistry; -If the default port of 1099 is in use, you can pass a different port as a parameter. 2. Once a registry process is running, bind the RMI repository object to the registry: On the 'Server Configuration' page, change the server type to 'RMI Server', and click 'Apply'. 3. On the 'Server Status' page, click the 'Start' button to start the RMI server...

Dashboard Report Scripting - Dashboard report scripting is an integral feature in InetSoft's dashboard software that allows users to customize data. As a standardized scripting language, JavaScript provides an excellent foundation for report scripting needs. Its origin as a web scripting language makes it ideal for the reporting environment. The integration of JavaScript with Style Intelligence therefore combines two powerful paradigms for report generation and gives developers maximum flexibility in controlling reports and user interactions. The purpose of this section is to provide a broad overview of JavaScript programming, and how JavaScript can be embedded in Viewsheets. In Web development, JavaScript is used to add client-side scripting to HTML pages. Scripts are embedded into the contents of a Web page and executed inside the client browser. Traditionally, these client-side scripts deal exclusively with user-browser interactions, and have limited server-side actions (e.g., HTTP requests)...

Dashboard Reporting API - A Scale object determines how abstract data values are mapped to physical chart representations such as position, color, shape, etc. The EGraph object and the VisualFrame object both map data values to physical representations, so both of these objects require a Scale. To change the scaling of chart axes, simply assign a new Scale to the Chart object. For example, consider the following chart. Note that in this chart the IntervalElement object implicitly defines a linear Y-axis scale. However, the data values on the chart are widely different in magnitude, which suggests that a log scale might be more appropriate. 1. Define the desired Scale object explicitly. In this case, create a LogScale based on the 'Quantity' field. 2. Assign the new scale to the Y-axis of the chart object using the setScale() method...

Dashboard Running on the iPad - Let’s look at an example in order to visualize what we mean by taking that raw data and actually putting it into a format the end users could see What I have open here is my iPad, and this is an InetSoft Style Intelligence dashboard running on the iPad. You might have seen example dashboard already, and it’s a really great way to take your data, visualize that and manipulate that data, but I’m going to show you something that you might not know. What I’m going to do is click on this dashboard here, and what it’s going to show me is my data, but it’s going to show me my data sorted by distance from my current location. The reason it can do this is on the backend data services generated the geocodes for me for all my different franchises. The idea here is that I can get off the plane, and then say ok, well I’m in this location, show me all my franchises within a certain distance from me. At that point I can click on one of those local franchises, open that up and then I’m back to my standard explorer interface where I can then go and manipulate that. So what I’ll do now is I’ll show you how this actually looks on the backend, what this actually looks like on the data services side. So I’m just going to switch over to my data services. And this is the job that is is actually used to create that job there. And what we’re doing here is we’re taking two files, we’re combining them together so it’s a bit of an ETL process. This transformation actually cleanses those addresses there as if they were real and then generates geocodes for them. Now let’s step back for a second and actually talk about some of the backend data information challenges that most organizations face, especially when they try to move beyond reporting and empower their end users...
