Dashboard Chart Brushing - Here we'll teach you how use data exploration techniques with InetSoft's Web-based business intelligence application. You can use brushing to highlight data in one chart and see related data in accompanying charts or apply simple table formatting to make data discovery easier. A well-designed dashboard or report can help business users make faster, more insightful observations which can lead to better decision-making and better corporate performance. Dashboards often contain multiple charts representing the same data in different ways. When this is the case, it's often useful to highlight corresponding data in different charts in order to discover relationships or explore contributions. You can do this easy with a technique called brushing. Let’s say for instance, I wanted to isolate Eric’s information on this chart. I could use my selection list, but I wouldn’t be able to see its value in the context of the other sales people’s performance. So let’s clear the selection, and now we will brush Eric’s information. First I will just click on an empty area in this chart, and then I will just drag across Eric’s bar. I will go up here to this paint brush icon, and you will see that immediately all of the corresponding charts have Eric’s information highlighted in red...

So we’re using color, red is low probability, and the cooler colors are the high probability. We’re stacking the colors so get you some quick insight if you see a lot more with a higher rated probability. This opportunity in the portfolio under the salesperson, Alexis, you can see it has got lower probability. Another salesperson, Sarah has got a lot more deals moving along. There is another more metrics-driven approach with some goal lines to see where people are against targets. The chart on the right shows which partners these leads are coming from. So let’s do the analysis demo. Let’s take a scenario and try to answer a question with this...
