You add data to your infographic template using WebFOCUS InfoAssist. When you open the infographic template in InfoAssist, it becomes a compound document. Specifically, each object that you marked with a WebFOCUS tag in the template becomes a component of the compound document, where you can add your data. Text objects become report components, where you can add the data field to the SUM field container or Header.
You can begin creating your infographic template, once you have registered your WebFOCUS Infographics account. This allows you to access to WebFOCUS Infographics powered by Easelly, which provides a library of infographic templates, and a design tool that contains a WebFOCUS tag option and placeholder objects that can be linked to WebFOCUS charts once you upload your template into WebFOCUS.
You can access the Creation Tool in one of the following ways:

Before you can begin creating infographic templates, you must first activate your WebFOCUS Infographics account. This activation requires you to register the site code associated with your Information Builders account that is licensed for WebFOCUS Infographics, as well as the corresponding email address and a password.
When you pair infographics with the power and reporting capabilities of WebFOCUS InfoAssist, you can populate your visuals with data from your corporate sources and adopt key elements that are specific to different audiences. You can take full advantage of WebFOCUS Reporting Objects, which enable you to create all of your filters and WHERE conditions once and then quickly apply them to different data elements in your infographic. You can also reuse the same infographic template and modify it using different parameters in your Reporting Objects to quickly show changing data narrative.
An infographic is a way to convey an idea or metric in a compelling visual format. It uses images to share information and present complex concepts, such as business analytics, in a simple and approachable manner. Through the narratives of infographics, you can go beyond dashboards and visualizations, and extend your communication to the level of data storytelling, increase understanding of the subject matter, and make a lasting impression.
The Storyboard feature allows you to capture and preserve snapshots of your visualizations as you create them.
Each time you add something to the storyboard, it is placed onto a unique PowerPoint slide. When you click Show, you can open and review your slides in PowerPoint.
Since storyboards give you the ability to turn your visualizations into a PowerPoint presentation, you can modify your storyboard to create a customized demo. For example, you can rearrange or delete slides, or add titles and text.
A workbook is a compound page that makes it possible for users to create charts and incorporate these embedded charts along with external content into a compelling display.

Workbooks can be run as content items directly from a browser, they can be published or shared with specific users and groups.
