A portlet dashboard is a visual monitoring tool that presents a cluster of display components on a single screen. A portlet dashboard is a visual monitoring tool that presents a cluster of display components on a single screen. These components are typically used to display Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that provide rapid comprehension of business activities. Style Intelligence gives you the ability to configure and set up your own portlet dashboards and subscribe to existing dashboards. The next sections explain how to do this.

Progression from Reports to Dashboards - And then, of course we have integration in order to pull data together. We have search as part of our experience.

And the result of this analysis is a focused and personal aspect of what we do. Think of it as a progression from reports, to dashboards, to apps. Typically you think of it this way. Reports enable you to view information, and that’s very much the model of publishing and viewing. Dashboards allow you a certain amount of interaction, a certain amount of drill down, to find out what are the numbers that made the numbers. But apps are really about an exploratory interface and Style Intelligence can do all these things. We can do reports. For example, something like this is a straightforward report although a traditional type. With a dashboard that we could build with our tool would be similar, but we can drill down into it. And this dashboard is typical of a lot of dashboards that I use. People like the gauges and want this sort of visualization. Very often if it’s the style of the visualization that’s as important as the information to a lot of people that I find. And so, dashboard enables you to drill down. But the thing that Style Intelligence can do that is special is build something which is not just a report, not just a dashboard.

Providing Detail Data in a Dashboard - So in this dashboard, you can see if you hover the mouse over a data point a box displays with detailed information about it. That information tooltip helps me provide a lot of information and explain the dashboard to the dashboard viewer. It can be information such as what does the metric represent, how it was calculated, what data is included or excluded, may be what the target of visuals I should have for my data. I could even include information around what type of interactions are there on the dashboards, so I can maybe save time on training or helping the user understand how this dashboard works or even in times what actions they need to take when they see the values under a certain condition or status. Another important thing to note about his help overlay is that it is designed in a way, which is semi-transparent, so I can still see the original values and the context of the explanation when I am looking at the explanation itself by using using the Show Details toolbar item.
