Dashboards and Widgets Creation Guide Providing Flash Analysis and Interactivity: Widgets 5 • Data Cloud: A list of attribute elements displayed in various sizes to depict the differences in metric values between the elements. The varying sizes allow a user to quickly identify the most significant, positive, or negative contributions. See Creating a Data Cloud widget, page 202 for steps and an example. • Date Selection: A calendar selector that allows you to select which dates you want to see data about in a dashboard. You are able to see all of the dates of each month in the widget, which makes selecting dates easier. See Creating a Date Selection widget, page 205 for steps and an example. • Fish Eye Selector: An interactive selector that magnifies an item when you hover the cursor over it. It allows a user to choose from a list of attribute elements, metrics, or images without having to see all of the elements, metrics, or images. Any item that a user hovers over or selects remains magnified, while the remaining items are minimized and hidden from view. This can be especially helpful when the user has to browse through a lengthy list. See Creating a Fish Eye Selector, page 214 for steps and an example. • Funnel: A variation of a stacked bar graph that displays data that adds up to 100%. It allows a user to visualize the percent contribution of a metric to the whole. See Creating a Funnel widget, page 226 for steps and an example. • Gauge: A simple status indicator that displays a needle that moves within a range of numbers displayed on its outside edges. An example of a gauge is a car's speedometer. See Creating a Gauge widget, page 228 for steps and an example. • Graph Matrix (deprecated): A group of area graphs that display actual values and line graphs that display forecasted values. It allows a user to quickly analyze various trends across several metric dimensions. See Creating a Graph Matrix (deprecated) widget, page 230 for steps and an example. • Graph Matrix: The Graph Matrix widget allows you to display your data using a variety of graph styles, such as the line graph, bubble graph, or grid, then customize it to suit users’ needs. See Creating a Graph Matrix widget, page 234 for steps and an example. • Heat Map: A combination of colored rectangles, each representing an attribute element, that allow you to quickly grasp the state and impact of a large number of variables at the same time. See Creating a Heat Map widget, page 236 for steps and an example. © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc. Choosing the right widget 193
