For example, you can sort and rearrange data in an interactive grid, perform manipulations on the data to display only the information that you are interested in, and display visual representations of the data in the analysis to make the data easier to interpret. For details and examples, see Chapter 4, Exploring Your Data with Visual Insight Analyses. Understanding the parts of a dashboard A dashboard is a display of related sets of data on one screen. A dashboard is commonly used to assess company or personal performance, to take a quick status check of the company, or to monitor personal work or work group contributions to overall goals of the business. Dashboards summarize key business indicators by presenting them in visually intuitive, easy-to-read, interactive documents. Since it is usually only one page long, a dashboard makes it easy to view the whole document at one time and see all the information. A dashboard allows interactivity, so each analyst can change how he sees the data, within the limits of what the dashboard allows. Open a dashboard in Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web to be able to interact with its widgets, selectors, and panel stacks. You can preview a dashboard in Flash View in Desktop, and interact with some of the dashboard objects. You cannot save changes in Flash View. For steps to access Flash View, see To preview a document for MicroStrategy Web, page 29. 42 Understanding the parts of a dashboard © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
