When analyzing data, additional descriptions of the data contained in the visualizations can be stored if defined.
By clicking on the Info icon, these become visible to the end user and thus help to correctly interpret the displayed data.
Hover Menu
The hover menu can also be configured for most visualizations.
The hover menu provides the option of making additional information available within the visualization. The following options are available to make visualizations more meaningful:
1.Title
2.Title Description
3.Additional key figures
4.Additional visualizations that are filtered using the basic visualization
5.Images
The following example shows an overview of the suppliers with the most frequent process runs in the bar chart.
By hovering over the corresponding suppliers, the end user (business user / analyst) is provided with additional insights:
As can be seen in the screenshot, the mouse cursor was moved over the supplier "Zwiesel Kristallglas AG". The pop-up menu which was predefined by the business analyst now gives the end user the option of obtaining a mini supplier overview.
This enables the end user to see how much rework has taken place with the displayed supplier Zwiesel, how high the average lead time with the supplier is and how high the automation rate is.
The integrated mini-diagram also shows how business has developed with the displayed supplier in recent years.
The customisability of the context menu means that misinterpretation of data can be counteracted and information that would otherwise have required an additional dashboard can be supplemented accordingly. This can be particularly helpful when mapping relationships that cause strong outliers but may have little relevance in the overall context.
Example
One supplier has a large number of late deliveries in percentage terms. However, by analysing the context and the course of time, it turns out that the business relationship with the supplier only began during the coronavirus crisis. It is therefore quite possible that the exceptional situation during the coronavirus pandemic has not yet been fully offset by normal business operations.
