About Elixir Dashboard Designer
Introduction
Elixir Dashboard Designer is a tool for navigating and visualizing enterprise data. A dashboard can
assemble a comprehensive view of the available information. It provides:
•
Seamless navigation between data, cube, and reports with user-customizable views
•
On-demand cube creation and modification of dimensions and measures for data analysis
•
Graphical visualization of data and OLAP cube
•
User-definable linking and filtering of data from disparate data sources
•
Dynamic report generation from view selections
A Perspective is the set of views, contents and actions that together form a dashboard. Dashboards are
stored in files with the extension .pml, which stands for Perspective Markup Language.
