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
