Portable Dashboards
Today's workers are drowning in a flood of corporate data. Dashboards have made it easier for them to consolidate and visualize that information, so it can be viewed and analyzed from a single perspective. As a result, they can better understand the relationships between multiple performance measures, and monitor them more closely and accurately.
Now, Information Builders enables the dynamic distribution of dashboards to anyone, anywhere, without constraints. Executives and operational managers can work online or offline, accessing Active Dashboards on Web sites and portals, saving them on their personal computers, receiving them as email attachments, or forwarding them to other users. So events can be continuously gauged, and immediate action can be taken to maintain optimum efficiency in key business processes.
A portable sales dashboard built using WebFOCUS Active Dashboard technologies that include a built-in analysis engine. It can be used in any browser without requiring plug-ins. Portable dashboards can be deployed to web sites and portals or they can be pushed to users via e-mail so that mobile users get dashboards when they want them or when business demands it.
With Active Dashboards, users can:
- Enhance decision-making through improved information viewing and analysis.
- Interact with multiple charts and tables across multiple tabs – capabilities that Excel alone can't provide.
- Obtain a complete view of the business by compiling multiple tables and charts into a single view, and interconnecting all comments so that filters and functions can be applied to the entire dashboard.
- Extensively manipulate data by utilizing sorts, filters, calculations, charts, roll-ups, pivots, pagination, visualization, and much more.
Best of all, Active Dashboards can be made readily available to any number of users both inside and outside the enterprise – without the need for special software. Mobile users can even access Active Dashboards without a network connection. And because they include 95 percent of the most commonly used Excel functions, users can begin working with Active Dashboards instantly, with little or no training required.
