Visual information dashboards

Visual information allows you to quickly create a customized, interactive dashboard that can be used to explore business data. You can create a Visual information dashboard using data in your organization's data warehouse storage, or by quickly importing data from an Excel or other file. You can perform manipulations on the data to customize the information that is included in the dashboard, and add visual representations of the data (called visualizations) to the dashboard to make the data easier to interpret. Visual information dashboards can be viewed in MicroStrategy Web or on an iPad with MicroStrategy Mobile. You can share a dashboard through email, by linking to the dashboard, or by embedding the dashboard in a web page.

Visual information allows you to streamline the tasks required to create a polished dashboard. For example, you can:

• Add, rearrange, or remove report objects quickly from a visualization in a dashboard.
• Create additional visualizations to display the data in multiple ways, then easily modify, rearrange, or resize visualizations in a dashboard.
• Add filtering based on report objects to a dashboard, to allow users to only display the information they are interested in.
• Add thresholds to a dashboard, to change the display of data based on the value of a metric.
