Description

Story Builder

Story Builder presents dashboard charts as storylines, showing the overall analysis approach in a single report.

For example, in a project that requires periodic attention, you can use Story Builder to add data views and insights for each stage, helping stakeholders track the latest status and trends.

Drill down

Analysts typically start from the high-level dashboard view to identify the direction of business problems, then drill down into detailed data to locate specific issues.

For example, in a sales dashboard you can drill down by geographic dimension from area to province to view sales in each province.

Linking

Linking dynamically updates one or more charts when you interact with or select conditions in another chart.

For example, in a sales dashboard you can select the East China region on a map chart to link other charts and view related metrics such as sales and transportation costs.

Jumping

Click a data point in the current dashboard to navigate to another chart, dashboard, or external link for detailed information about that data point.

For example, in a sales dashboard you can click office supplies to jump to the order profit details report, which then displays only orders with the product type of office supplies.

Circle selection

Circle selection lets you select multiple data points and cells at once for further analysis, such as view only, annotation, linking, and drilling down.

For example:

Event

Cross tables support data entry events. After you add a data entry event to a cross table, you can write data directly to the target database.
