This document defines basic terms and concepts related to the DataV-Board product documentation to enhance your understanding and usage of the product.
Workspace
A Workspace serves as the central management unit for DataV-Board, encompassing resources such as data sources, datasets, dashboards, components, and design tools. It allows for the management of various visualization applications and workspace permissions.
Data dashboard
A data dashboard is a visual representation created in DataV-Board that transforms raw data into dynamic charts for real-time display. For guidance on creating a data dashboard, refer to Create a PC dashboard using a template.
Data source
To create a data dashboard with DataV-Board, you must first define the data source where the raw data resides. DataV-Board supports a variety of data sources, including databases, files, and APIs. For instructions on adding a data source, see Add a data source.
Canvas
The canvas, or canvas editor, is DataV-Board's primary visual workspace. It enables users to arrange page layouts, match colors, position charts, and preview visualizations. To learn canvas usage, see PC canvas editor overview.
Blueprint
The blueprint, also known as the blueprint editor, is DataV-Board's main logical workspace. It allows for the configuration of logical connections and interactions between nodes, along with log management during debug previews. For blueprint usage, see What is the blueprint editor.
Widget
Widgets are the fundamental components of a data dashboard. DataV-Board supports widgets such as charts, maps, information panels, tables, controls, media, and others, including your favorites. Widgets can be selected from the Widget Library in the canvas editor and added to the canvas.
Design resource
Design resources are elements that enhance the visual appeal of data dashboards, such as images, videos, and models. For more information, see Design resources.
Scenario
A scenario is a comprehensive serialized display of a data dashboard. By integrating the dashboard with carousel and security settings, it forms a presentation scenario. Scenarios can be quickly mirrored to large screens, enhancing data processing and adding impact to work reports.
Screen mirroring
Screen mirroring involves displaying a presentation scenario as a slideshow on a large screen. This can be done using the screen mirroring player with autoplay, navigating pages in the console, or sharing the console QR code with others.
Data display format description
Below is a table with examples of various data formats. For a detailed guide on data display formats, see https://github.com/d3/d3-format/blob/v3.1.0/README.md#format.
