If you are designing widgets for an iPhone or Android device, you can determine whether the widget takes up the entire screen. For steps, see Displaying widgets using the entire screen on mobile devices.

Some widgets are also available as interactive visualizations, which allows you to quickly create a customized, interactive dashboard.

In a dashboard, users can add or remove attributes and metrics, change the type of visualization that is used, or create new filters and thresholds in the dashboard on-the-fly. Consider using dashboards when your users want a high degree of interaction with their data. Dashboards can be especially helpful in strategic business meetings to spontaneously discover the answer to any business queries that come up.

You can create visualizations that highlight or filter other visualizations in a dashboard when a user taps on an attribute element in the visualization.

For steps to create a dashboard, see the MicroStrategy Web Help.

The following visualizations can be viewed in a dashboard on an iPad:

  • Density Map visualization

  • Grid visualization

  • Graph visualization

  • Graph Matrix visualization

  • Heat Map visualization

  • Image Layout visualization

  • Map visualization

  • Map with Areas visualization

  • Network visualization
