You use analyses, projects, and dashboards
to find the answers that you need from key business data displayed in graphical
formats.
An analysis is a query against your
organization's data that provides you with answers to business questions. Analyses enable you
to explore and interact with information visually in tables, graphs, pivot tables,
and other data views. You can also save, organize, and share the results of analyses
with others.
A project enables you to dynamically
explore multiple data sets in graphical way, all within a single interface. You can upload
data from many commonly used data sources to create robust sets of
information within project visualizations.
Dashboards can include multiple analyses to
give you a complete and consistent view of your company’s information across all
departments and operational data sources.
Dashboards provide you with personalized
views of information in the form of one or more pages, with each page identified with
a tab at the top. Dashboard pages display anything that you have access to or that
you can open with a web browser including analyses results, images, text, links to
websites and documents, and embedded content such as web pages or documents.
When you embed an
analysis in a dashboard, the analysis automatically displays the most current
data every time you access the dashboard. For example, if you are a sales
executive whose company captures sales data on a daily basis, then you can have
the dollar volume by product sold today displayed when you open or run the
dashboard.
