Subject Areas Out of the Box
Subject areas are the building blocks of your visualizations and canvases in Opower Analytics Visualization. A visualization is built by choosing an appropriate subject area that has information that answers the business question you’re analyzing.
Technically, subject areas are groupings of information, called data objects, that relate to each other in a particular context. The subject area data comes from data objects pulled from your transactional database. The data is then grouped in a way that is intended to answer a specific set of questions about your organization. Any information your organization tracks can be grouped into a subject area and then used to build analytics.
- Log in to your instance of Opower Analytics Visualization.
- Click the navigator menu in the top left corner of the screen and select Data.
- In the Datasets tab, click any of the subject areas available. A new workbook opens. You can browse the folders on the left-hand side of the screen, and you can select and drag attributes or measures to the canvas to begin building visualizations.
