Dashboard features

Infor Birst has fully responsive and integrated HTML5 dashboards and visual discovery interfaces. Users can explore data with features such as drag-and-drop and double-click, auto-complete Search, guided visualizations, and visual filtering.

Filters for specific attributes are built into the reports. Click the charts and lasso a set of data to focus on, or click the chart legend to remove values from the display. Results are cascaded across the dashboard.

Report filters

You can effectively identify the information you can analyze since filters are available on the dashboards. These filters are applied based on the attributes of the reports and charts in each instance.

Ranking Filter is not applied to KPIs in Dashboards.

Drill down

Rest your pointer over a chart or right-click the chart to show the drill icon. If there is a drill path for the dashlet, you can use drill down. This shows a predefined hierarchy of information at a more detailed level.

You can use drill down to show data for weeks that transition from one month to another. You do this by disabling the Year/Month filter on the filter pane, for example.

As of date

The As of date on the navigation bar in the Infor Birst dashboards shows the last replication time of the replication set that is related to each dashboard.
