WynDashboards 5.1 is now available! Wyn 5.1 includes many visualization enhancements, including smart visualizations, a new visualizations gallery feature, improved analytic model capabilities with analytical expressions, real-time updates for streaming data, streamlined API, and embedded designer and viewer packaging.
Analytic Expressions address ad-hoc business calculations without requiring DBA/IT staff to update the data query on the backend. The expressions can be added to the dashboard in the designer itself.
Specific calculations rely on the data to be already aggregated (e.g., net profits, profit ratios, win/loss ratios, year-on-year calculations, etc.). These are not calculations that can be done on raw data before aggregation.
Adhoc calculations facilitate data discovery which also allows for unique data mashups resulting in trend identification not possible with static dataset structures.
Other usage scenarios include:
Business users that are unfamiliar with data visualization best practices may find it challenging to visually present data for effective analysis. Wyn 5.1 offers a Smart Visualization Recommendation Engine to assist users with data visualization design principles. Founded on data visualization fundamentals, the Recommendation Engine suggests visualizations based on specific measures and dimension selection. This new dashboarding feature is user-friendly and helps business users select the most effective way to tell the data's story.
Our customers provide a host of feedback about the different interactions and approaches to tell their data stories. Based on the industry trends and customer shared feedback, WynDashboards v5.1 has improved UI settings, additional tooltip options, additional interactivity enhancements, and more.
