Business Dashboards

Much like automobile dashboards help people drive cars, business dashboards provide visually compelling yet data-rich controls that help managers operate their business. Gauges, graphs, and maps on dashboards present data from multiple departments – Finance, Sales, Marketing, Operations, HR – and focus attention on key performance indicators or KPIs.

Dashboards enable quick insights into real time data. Red zones like rising inventory levels, falling sales volume, and narrowing margins are easily identified in these visually intuitive snapshots, enabling quick corrective action. Data transforms into immediate and relevant insight in convenient at-a-glance dashboards. To experience firsthand, view interactive demos.

3. What OLAP capabilities do I have within a MicroStrategy dashboard?

   Users have the ability to drill within the document, drill anywhere, or disable drilling. Drilling capabilities can be applied to a grid or graph, enabling users to perform an investigative analysis directly on a dashboard, scorecard, or enterprise report. Users can drill out of the dashboard to investigate across the data warehouse or multiple data sources and generate new information-rich reports. Using the multi-select feature, business users can dynamically select any group of elements and create derived element groups on the fly. Elements can be removed or added dynamically and users can create their own calculations between various groups or individual items. For even faster performance and response time, Intelligent Cubes can be included in dashboards.

4. I want only one version of the dashboard to view in Flash and DHTML (AJAX), but I have Flash-advanced visualizations in the dashboard. How can I design this dashboard for DHTML?

   Only one design of the dashboard is required. Flash-advanced visualizations have flash plug-ins that are maintained within the container of the advanced visualization. Flash-advanced visualizations can be rendered in both Flash and DHTML, and the same controls are made available to users, enabling a seamless integration between Flash and DHTML design.

5. How can users design dashboards quickly and without programming experience or training?

   MicroStrategy offers out-of-the box templates that provide a great starting point for dashboard designers. Each template contains a series of containers, or panel stacks, that enable users to quickly add components to each panel stack, such as: text boxes, shapes, reports, grids, graphs, panel stacks, HTML containers, selectors, and widgets. Also, customized templates can be created to place the design experience in the hands of end-users. These customized templates can include the corporate logo and corporate design schemes and colors. Users can simply drag, drop, and select dashboard components to quickly design a dashboard in the matter of minutes. MicroStrategy customers have access to additional templates and graph styles for the most popular MicroStrategy designed dashboards through the, MicroStrategy Jump-Start Project for rapid dashboard development.

6. What are DashboardApps? Do I need additional product licenses for Dashboard Apps?

   Newly launched in MicroStrategy 9 Release 2, DashboardApps are next generation dashboards that can be used to replace thousands of operational reports. DashboardApps contain large amounts of data in easy-to-consume visualizations. Additionally, DashboardApps support faster, larger scale dashboard distribution. DashboardApps are available through the MicroStrategy Report Services license, as of MicroStrategy 9 Release 2. For more information, see the MicroStrategy DashboardApps White Paper.
