A visualization is a visual representation of the data in a dashboard, such as a grid, line chart, or heat map. Visualizations provide a variety of ways for a user to display and interact with the data in the dashboard. For example, you can allow users to explore the relationships between attribute elements by creating a Network visualization, or create visually striking graphs that summarize key business indicators in a clear, easy-to-understand format. The following is the list of frequently used visualizations offered by Strategy.
- Density Map visualization: You can display your data as areas on a map. The areas are automatically displayed in different colors based on the population density of locations of interest in the visualization.
- Graph visualization: You can display the data in a graphical format and choose between a variety of different graphs, such as an area graph, line graph, or pie chart.
- Grid visualization: You can display data in an interactive grid, allowing users to pivot, sort, move, drill, filter, and perform additional manipulations on data displayed in the grid.
- Heat Map visualization: You can display the data as a combination of colored rectangles. Each rectangle represents an attribute element, and is colored and sized according to the value of metrics in the visualization, allowing users to quickly grasp the state and impact of a large number of variables at one time.
- Map visualization: You can display the data as geographical locations on a map, then change the color, size, and display of markers based on the value of a metric, to allow users to quickly grasp relationships between different locations.
- Network visualization: You can display the data as a network of nodes, with lines between the nodes representing relationships between attribute elements.
