Dashboards


Dashboards are visualizations that can display insights created using Analytical Designer and individual key performance indicators (KPIs).

You can think of dashboards as a dynamic presentation layer for your data analytics. Dashboards allow a wide array of adjustments such as filtering and drilling. You can add any number of KPI dashboards to your workspace.


With dashboards, you can, for example:

  • Track KPI changes over time and compares them to previous periods.

  • Set alerts and get notified when KPIs reach a threshold.

  • Link KPIs to other dashboards.

  • Have important insights next to relevant KPIs to have a better overview of your business processes.


To learn more, see Working with Dashboards.
For a comprehensive overview of individual dashboards, see Dashboard Dictionary. 


Analyze


The Analyze section is your data workshop. It is here where you use Analytical Designer to analyze your data, slice and filter it, and decide whether to display the result as a pie chart, table, or column graph, etc. The result of your visual data analysis is called an insight. Insights are then displayed in the Dashboards section.


To learn more, see Working with Insights.

For a comprehensive overview of individual measures, see Measures Dictionary.
