Transportation Intelligence Main Dashboard

This page is accessed via Transportation Intelligence > Dashboard.

The Dashboard in Transportation Intelligence (TI) is a collection of performance metrics reflecting common strategic goals.

There is a default Dashboard or you can configure your own with My Dashboard. By default, the Dashboard menu option opens the sample Main Dashboard which is a selection of sample reports pre-defined with standard metrics or KPIs. You can use MyDashboard to display the metrics you want in the format you want. Service providers have a different default Dashboard. You can define a default dashboard in user preferences.

See Business Intelligence Roles for a table displaying dashboards, roles, and access.

The reports use the data in the HD database. See the data flow to Transportation Intelligence.

Note: Dashboards are user-configurable. Following is an example of what you may see depending on your dashboard.

The pre-configured main dashboard consists of the following tabs depending on the Business Intelligence Role that is assigned to the user viewing the dashboard. These tabs or pages are:

• Statistics

Maps

The Maps tab allows you to view maps for source province/city and destination province/city pairs. This tab contains the following sections:

• Map Analysis

Notes

• While creating reports with a map view, add the relevant map column in to the criteria tab. For example, when creating a report that has order release facts and dimensions, add a map column from the “Order Release Map Dimensions” folder. If this column is omitted in the criteria tab and a Map View is created, Transportation Intelligence automatically includes the map column from “Shipment Map Dimensions”. This will result in loss of data.
• For the THEME_PROVINCE_LINE, the lines are rendered in a way to join the “centroid” of the Source and Destination Provinces. For the Washington province, the centroid is placed outside of the province region.
• Map data for provinces only covers the United States. This is an OAS limitation as the respective out of the box data available from NAVTEQ only covers the United States.
• There is no map data for the Utah province and therefore it may not reflect metric values on the map. This is an OAS limitation as the respective out of the box data available does not include the Utah province.
