Matrix marker charts can be used to analyze one or two measures against a crosstab of two categorical dimensions. The result is a color scaled matrix chart that shows categorized trends.

Note: Matrix marker charts require at least two measures and two dimensions. It also requires a field in the Color and Size buckets, which allow you to see the concentration of data for that intersection of the chart.

The following display options are available for a matrix marker chart:

Treemap charts can be used to display large amounts of hierarchically structured data. Using a set of nested rectangles to illustrate data relationships, sections of a treemap represent branches of a tree.

Note: Treemap charts require at least one measure and one dimension, to be placed in the Size and Color buckets. Groups are determined by those fields specified in the Grouping bucket.

The Clear buckets content display option is available for a treemap. It removes the fields from all buckets.

Use a ring pie chart when you want to review the value of each segment, which represents the measure value for the selected dimension, as it relates to the total for the selected measure. The total value represented by all segments displays in the middle of the ring pie chart.

Note: Ring pie charts require at least one measure (placed in the Measure bucket) and one dimension (placed in the Color bucket). Add additional measures as required to create a separate ring pie for each measure.

Vertical side-by-side bar charts can be used to show additional measure or dimension values for each horizontal axis value using differing identifying colors. Side-by-side bar charts are useful to directly compare the values for different measures or categories within each horizontal axis sort value.

Note: This chart requires at least one measure and one dimension. Add measures as required to compare additional values.

The following display options are available for a vertical side-by-side bar chart:

Use a horizontal bar chart when you want to emphasize a ranking relationship in descending order. This chart type can also be used when the x-axis label is too long to fit legibly side-by-side.

If you add additional measure fields to the Horizontal bucket or add dimension fields to the Color bucket, additional bars are placed in groups for each vertical axis value.

Note: Horizontal bar charts require at least one measure and one dimension. Add measures as required to compare additional values.

Use a vertical stacked bar chart when you want to view information for one dimension within another dimension. For example, when you want to see which product subcategories accounted for the most sales within each product category.

The Home Page is the default landing page that opens when you first sign in to WebFOCUS.

A workbook combines a page and multiple charts into a single file. Using a workbook, you can create a data flow to engage in data discovery, create charts to analyze that data, and add multiple charts to a page for a broader perspective. Using a workbook is a quick way to explore your data in a single session, providing the ability to save multiple content components together for easy access.

You can create interactive responsive pages using content that you or other members of your organization create. Content can be added to a page by utilizing drag-and-drop actions. With the interactive canvas, you can resize and rearrange resources with ease. Additionally you can use the integrated filter control capability to create instant, compelling applications and InfoApps from your content.
