Table and Chart Visualizations at Runtime

Here's how tables and charts created as visualizations display to users.

Table Visualizations

A table visualization displays the most frequently accessed records in a table. You can enable drill-downs to individual records and you can add the Actions list. With the smart actions, salespeople can create tasks, schedule appointments, send emails, and make calls directly from the table, for example.

Tables include a View All link (callout 2 in the screenshot) that opens a list page showing all records matching the visualization selection criteria.

Chart Visualizations

Salespeople can click a section of a chart to view the underlying records.

In the drill-down page, the list of records in that section displays in a side panel or a list page.

OTBI analyses open on a page showing both the visualization and the list.

Metric Cards

You can also use the Visualization Configuration feature to speed up the creation of the information that appears at the top of each tab in the sales dashboard. Metric Card visualizations provide a UI where you can specify all of the information you can display, including the title and badges.
