• RSS Reader: RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a data format used to<br />
display updated Web content when you click a URL. An RSS document is<br />
called a feed, and it contains either a summary of the content from an<br />
associated website or the full text. The RSS Reader widget can help<br />
provide context to your business data. Use RSS Reader widgets on a<br />
dashboard to view and update RSS feeds as a user analyzes grids, graphs,<br />
and other objects in the same dashboard. See Analyzing an RSS Reader<br />
widget, page 116 for more details and an example.<br />
• Thermometer: A simple status indicator that displays a thermometer set<br />
to a certain temperature level. The temperature level within the<br />
thermometer is a visual representation of a single metric value. See<br />
Analyzing a Thermometer widget, page 118 for more details and an<br />
example.<br />
• Time Series Slider: An area graph that allows you to choose which<br />
section of the graph to view at a time. See Analyzing a Time Series Slider<br />
widget, page 118 for more details and an example.<br />
• Waterfall: A group of clustered bars displayed from left to right. It<br />
highlights the increments and decrements of the values of metrics over<br />
time. The widget can help identify what is contributing to fluctuations in<br />
the metric values and can be used for “what-if” analyses. See Analyzing a<br />
Waterfall widget, page 120 for more details and an example.<br />
• Weighted List Viewer: A combination of the data visualization<br />
techniques of thresholds and graphical weighting in a single visualization.<br />
This enables you to assess the performance of a group of items. See<br />
Analyzing a Weighted List Viewer widget, page 121 for more details and<br />
an example.<br />
