5 Providing Flash Analysis and Interactivity: Widgets Dashboards and Widgets Creation Guide • Image Layout: You can add an Image Layout widget to a document to display an image overlaid with colored areas or bubble markers. For example, you can display a map of the United States, with a bubble marker displayed over each state. You can have states with a high number of stores displayed using large bubble markers, and states with a low number of stores displayed using small bubble markers. See Creating an Image Layout widget, page 240 for steps and an example. • Interactive Bubble Graph: A conventional bubble plot that allows you to visualize the trends of three different metrics for a set of attribute elements. See Creating an Interactive Bubble Graph widget, page 243 for steps and an example. • Interactive Stacked Graph: A combination of a check box list and area graph. The graph allows a user to see the contribution of various metric series to the change in value of a larger set of data. See Creating an Interactive Stacked Graph widget, page 249 for steps and an example. • Map: Specific geographical locations displayed on a map, along with additional data for those locations, such as store revenue or a phone number. This widget is designed to be used on a mobile device or in Web. For an example and steps to create and format a Map widget for display in Web, see the GIS Integration Help. • Media: Video, audio, images, or website content. One of the primary purposes of the Media widget is to present supplemental information about the data on a dashboard. It can also be used for instructional content or HTML content from a website. See Creating a Media widget, page 251 for steps and an example. • Microcharts: One or more compact representations of data that allow analysts to quickly visualize trends. Use a Microcharts widget to quickly visualize the trend of a metric at a glance without having to know many additional details. The bar, sparkline, and bullet microcharts used in the Microcharts widget convey information that an analyst can understand just by looking at the graph once. See Creating a Microcharts widget, page 257 for steps and an example. • Network Visualization: Data is displayed as nodes in the widget, with lines (called edges) drawn between the nodes to represent relationships between data elements. Once the widget is created, users can visualize characteristics of the nodes and the relationships between them, using display options such as node size, edge thickness, and edge color. The Network Visualization widget allows you to quickly and easily identify relationships between related items and clusters. See Creating a Network Visualization widget, page 267 for steps and an example. 194 Choosing the right widget © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
Dashboards and Widgets Creation Guide Providing Flash Analysis and Interactivity: Widgets 5 • RSS Reader: RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a data format used to display updated Web content when you click a URL. An RSS document is called a feed, and it contains either a summary of the content from an associated website or the full text. The RSS Reader widget can help provide context to your business data. Use RSS Reader widgets on a dashboard to view and update RSS feeds as a user analyzes grids, graphs, and other objects in the same dashboard. See Creating an RSS Reader widget, page 269 for steps and an example. • Thermometer: A simple status indicator that displays a thermometer set to a certain temperature level. The temperature level within the thermometer is a visual representation of a single metric value. See Creating a Thermometer widget, page 274 for steps and an example. • Time Series Slider: An area graph that allows an analyst to choose which section of the graph to view at a time. See Creating a Time Series Slider widget, page 276 for steps and an example. • Waterfall: A group of clustered bars displayed from left to right. It highlights the increments and decrements of the values of metrics over time. The widget can help identify what is contributing to fluctuations in the metric values and can be used for “what-if” analyses. See Creating a Waterfall widget, page 278 for steps and an example. • Weighted List Viewer: A combination of the data visualization techniques of thresholds and graphical weighting in a single visualization. This enables the analyst to assess the performance of a group of items. See Creating a Weighted List Viewer widget, page 282 for steps and an example. Widgets for mobile devices You can define a Grid/Graph to display as a widget on a document when the document is executed on a mobile device that has the MicroStrategy Mobile application.
