Interactive Dashboard

Note: Please Do Not use Data Visualization Report. Instead, we encourage you to explore the Normal Tiled Dashboard”.
This feature might be advisable for small entrepreneurs; however, we strongly DO NOT recommend using this feature for Enterprise Applications with high transactional volume. Before you begin using visualization reports, please assess the following keys points:

  • The process of opening and running the reports may take considerable time as system would try to retrieve large amount of data.

  • Accumulating few data sources and data types may cause non-deterministic results.

  • Error reporting can be difficult.

  • "Limit Reports and Visualizations to One Category" option is set to true, to restrict reports and visualizations to one category.

  • Use pre filters, duplicate suppression, or advanced join logic to limit the number of rows displayed, with more filter into “Visualization Report” you may not be able to determine the expected outcome. Without filters opening of tiles may take long time for high transactional volume like WMS.

  • Alternatively, review the dashboard options with fixed tiles with definite set of filters to retrieve precise data.

  • ExpressView provides you a quick insight into data records and individual categories, get insight into data records, and individual categories.
