Pentaho - Fusion Charts Plugin
|
|
Dashboards are one of the most common ways of visualizing data on BI solutions. With a glance users are able to analyse performance, identify problems and get a clear overview of KPIs. Adequate dashboards, besides showing relevant data are able to catch the eye of the user through a great design.This is achieved by carefully selecting the correct representation for each element but also by using stylish charts and widgets. Animations and interactions are also quite relevant as they enable extending dashboard usage through the creation of drill paths. |
