Visualization and Analytics


Displaying Measure Values in Charts

In most chart types, measure values for different categories are communicated based on visual cues. For example, the height of a riser in a bar chart, the size of a slice in a pie chart, or the color or an area of a heatmap all communicate the measure value of the dimension value that they represent. By comparing different areas of the chart, and by using the legend and tooltips, you can quickly identify overall trends in your data.

Using Paging to Navigate Pages in a Report

You can navigate between pages in an interactive report or grid (AHTML) using the page navigation options, in the pagination bar. These options make it easy to view large amounts of data quickly, without scrolling. For stand-alone items, such as a single report that contains a large amount of data, the pagination bar appears at the bottom of the container. When you are creating a page that contains multiple reports, the pagination bar appears at the bottom of the page container.

An example of the pagination bar for a single interactive report are shown below.

Using the Column Menu for Reports

The column menu displays when you click a column heading in a report. This provides you with access to formatting tools, chart type options, and filters, giving you more control over what displays in your report.

For a non-measure or dimension column, there are three primary sections to the column menu, as shown in the following image.

Running Content in Full-Screen Mode

When you run interactive content in maximized (full-screen) mode, there are a number of navigational features that you can use. For example, you can change the position of report and chart components in full-screen mode using drag and drop. To drag and drop, simply click the toolbar of any component and, holding the mouse, drag the object to the desired position.

In-Document Analytics Options for Charts

If you are working with a chart using the Chart Rollup Tool and you subsequently create a new chart, the new chart launches with a metadata tree, buckets, and the chart picker. This look and feel is similar to the common interface of WebFOCUS Designer, as shown in the following image.

The interface loads with the fields that you had originally selected. This makes it easy to select different fields to create different types of charts at run time.

Creating Content Using the Chart Rollup Tool

You can access the Chart Rollup Tool from the column menu in an interactive report that uses In-Document Analytics. There are three tabs: Chart, Rollup, and Pivot.  As you create charts, rollups, or pivot tables, each artifact displays in the analysis panel.

You can use the Chart Rollup Tool to select multiple group fields to generate the chart, rollup or pivot table. 

For the Chart tab, you can select a chart type, an aggregation, and a column for the chart, as shown in the following image.
