Viewing data

You can view data in a report or a KPI chart by using any of these actions:

Hovering

Hover over charts to see more detailed information in a popup. If you are using filters, you can hover over the Filter card to show more information.

Changing report types

If this function is enabled for a report, you can change the visualization types by selecting Dashlet Actions > View Selector.

The View Selector option shows only the charts that closely match the data, depending on how the report is set up. The Table view is a convenient way to display the data in a columnar or row format.

Turning the data series in a chart on or off

Some charts have legend icons, which are colored buttons that are located below or to the right of a chart. You can click any of these icons to turn on or off a data series in a chart. This is useful if you want to focus on just one series and avoid data clutter.

Drilling

Drilling options are available on charts or as buttons on a dashboard. This table shows the ways of drilling:

Name Description Chart Button
Drill down Drill to a more detailed level within a report in LN Analytics Drill down (chart)
Drill across Drill to another dashboard in LN Analytics Drill across (chart) Drill across (button)
Drill back Drill back to Infor LN, switching from LN Analytics to Infor LN within Infor Ming.le hyperlink Drill back (button)

Visual highlighting and filtering

Use visual highlighting to quickly investigate the relationship between data that is spread across multiple dashlets. Hold CTRL (for Windows) or CMD (for MAC) and drag an area (points, bars, pie, etc) onto a dashlet. When you apply visual highlighting, the related data points in other dashlets also light up. Filters are not applied in visual highlighting.

To filter on a specific area and display related data points in other dashlets, right-click an area and select Visual Filtering. The Filter card shows the filter used for that area.
