Flash analysis and interactivity: widgets A widget is a Flash-based display of the results of a dataset report, allowing you to visualize data in different ways than traditional reports displayed as Grid/Graph reports do. Widgets are sophisticated visualization techniques that can combine with rich interactivity to enable users to understand their data more effectively. MicroStrategy dashboards can display a variety of widget types, such as Gauge, Heat Map, and Stacked Area widgets. Although each type of widget looks different and is used in a unique way, the main purpose of all widgets remains the same: to provide a visual and interactive look into your data. 82 Flash analysis and interactivity: widgets © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
Report Services Document Analysis Guide Analyzing Documents in MicroStrategy Web 3 Use Flash View in Desktop and Express Mode, Flash Mode, and Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web to interact with widgets. In Flash View in Desktop and in Express Mode in MicroStrategy Web, you cannot save your changes. You can also view certain widgets on mobile devices that have MicroStrategy Mobile, as described in Widgets for mobile devices, page 85. Types of widgets The sections below describe each type of widget, its purpose, and how you can use it to analyze a specific set of data while working in MicroStrategy Web. The following list briefly summarizes each type of widget that can be used in a document: • Bubble Grid: Bubbles of different colors and sizes representing the values of two metrics. It can help identify important trends or anomalies in data, relative to the total contribution of accompanying data. See Analyzing a Bubble Grid widget, page 85 for more details and an example. • Cylinder: A simple status indicator that displays a vertical cylinder with fluid in it. The level of the fluid within the cylinder is a visual representation of a single metric value. See Analyzing a Cylinder widget, page 87 for more details and an example. • 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 you to quickly identify the most significant, positive, or negative contributions. See Analyzing a Data Cloud widget, page 88 for more details and an example. • Date Selection: A calendar selector that allows you to select which dates you want to see data about in a document or dashboard. You are able to see all of the dates of each month in the widget, which allows you to be able to select dates more easily. See Using a Date Selection widget, page 89 for more details 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 © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc. Flash analysis and interactivity: widgets 83
