DASHBOARD COMPONENTS
Overview
Dashboards are composed of many elements, as follows:
- DB Connections and Datasets
DB Connections and their requisite Dataset(s) supply Report Visuals with their data; a single Dataset can provide the data for multiple Report Visuals
- Report Visuals
A report type, e.g. bar, pie, line, table for displaying data
- Dashboard Groups (main folders)
Unique “Buckets” for grouping App Dashboards & Report Visuals by subject matter
- App Dashboards (subfolders)
The layout choices for how Report Visuals appear within each view and the “Buckets” for Report Visuals within each Dashboard Group
- Filters
Filter the data displayed in Report Visuals, e.g. numeric range, multi-select listbox, calendar dates; specific Filter choices are populated by writing basic queries
