Analysis Builder

The analysis builder is quite simple to use once you understand the basics. Building an analysis is done in four steps, which are described below.

1. Select which data source you want to use data from

In the upper left you can choose which "Data source" to build the analysis from. The data sources you can choose between here are your available Data tables, which includes any aggregated tables.

Below the Data source menu, you can see all the available data fields to use the in the analysis. These fields can be drag-and-dropped into the "Values", "Columns" and "Rows" areas.

Over to the right of the visualization you can find the chart configuration. Within the configuration, you can adjust settings such as font size and number of decimals shown for fields in the Values area.

To the left of the Save button, there is a Filter button. You can use this to apply filters to your analysis, narrowing down the data it displays.

Once you are satisified with your analysis, you can save it to any of your dashboards. Click Save in the middle top right and select the dashboard you want it saved to.
