In this visual, we look at the revenue performance of each product in the Great Outdoors product line. But more than just revenue, the chart shows us costs and discount percentage, as well as a high-level indicator of margin percentage performance. Any user can get a quick, intuitive understanding of revenue performance, and since the data source is a PowerPlay PowerCube, the user can drill down to even more detailed views. You can explore further in Cognos Visualizer, or simply drill through to PowerPlay or Impromptu for more detailed analysis and reporting. Click to View Full Size Interactive Exploration Interactivity in Cognos Visualizer is not limited to the display, but can impact the data feeding the displays as well.
Filters let the user view a smaller subset of the data.
Elements more specific to their business needs or associated with a problem or success can be explored in detail. You will very quickly identify trends and patterns as they play before your eyes. The promise of Cognos Visualizer is high impact visuals, interactivity, and multi-metric displays. The Visualization Wizard can walk you through the whole process, helping you select data, layouts and styles to quickly create advanced visual presentations of your business. Using this screen as an example, the Wizard has analyzed the data, and offers the author a range of possibilities that could be used to present the data.
