The Analytics+ visual has been built as a storytelling platform that enables even casual users to create engaging, dynamic dashboards and reports in a matter of minutes. Let's embark on our data visualization journey and learn how to leverage the capabilities provided by Analytics+!
To follow along with this tutorial, you can download and use the datasets in this pbix file. Feel free to use your datasets as well!
We first need to add the Inforiver Analytics+ visual to the Power BI canvas. Use the links in the visual for additional information:
Demo: This link navigates to the interactive demo page where you can explore the different types of dashboards and charts that can be created with Analytics+.
Pricing: Analytics+ offers different pricing tiers and plans that you can use to make a purchase.
Learn more: Discover the advanced reporting capabilities available in Analytics+.
Analytics+ is an IBCS-certified visual. Enable the IBCS standards toggle to create charts, KPI cards, and tables that are fully IBCS compliant.
The Analytics+ visual ships with 3 different modes, each with a dedicated toolbar that contains customization options specific to a particular mode. You can seamlessly switch between the three modes by navigating to the respective ribbon. Click on each of the tabs below to preview the modes.
A range of diverse charts including waterfall, Marimekko, bullet charts, and boxplots. The Analytics+ library has suitable charts for every data visualization use case.
For starters, let's assign one dimension and one measure to the visual parameters. By default, the chart mode is selected and Inforiver renders a bar chart.
Inforiver provides the flexibility to customize every element of your report. The best part is that tailoring your visual is truly at your fingertips - you don't need to enable the toolbar and open the visual in focus mode.
You can use the + icon at the bottom left of the visual to open the context menu. From here, you can apply several modifications such as changing the chart type, enabling elements like KPIs or data labels, or choosing a different layout.
You can simply click on any element that you want to customize and use Inforiver's handy on-object interaction menus to access the wide range of options.
The dashboard below was built using Analytics+ charts, cards, and data tables.
In the upcoming sections, We'll learn how to build interactive dashboards like this one and take a deep dive into each of the modes supported in Analytics+.
