Using the Visualization Tab


The data flow defined in the Data tab is used to create content in the Visualization tab. In the Visualization tab, you can create charts and reports and arrange them on a page in different types of containers, or you can create a visualization from charts, reports, images, and more that you have created and saved previously. If you are creating a visualization with existing content, you can access items in your workspaces and add them to your visualization.

To create a visualization with new content, on the WebFOCUS start page, click the plus button and then click Create Visualizations. Alternatively, on the WebFOCUS Home Page, click Visualize Data, or click the plus button and then click Create New Visualization. To assemble existing content into a visualization, click the plus button on the start page or Home Page and then click Assemble Visualizations.
