Wyn Enterprise has an in-built Dashboard Viewer that allows you to preview the dashboard any time you want. The Dashboard Viewer also provides you with a variety of additional features that can help you to analyze your data more effectively.

The Dashboard Viewer can be Standard or Lite, which is controlled in the Dashboards Settings in the Admin Portal. You can also control this setting in the Dashboard Designer in the Inspector panel as described in this article - Switch to Lite Viewer. This panel is displayed on the right and contains the Default Viewer property under the General settings.

To Preview a Dashboard

1. In the Document Portal of Wyn Enterprise, select the dashboard you want to preview.

2. Click the Preview button against the dashboard.

   
   

   
   

   The dashboard preview is displayed.

   
   

   
   

You can click this icon , to view the dashboard in another window.

If you want to reload the dashboard or preview the dashboard in a new window, use the Reload or New Window options in the Dashboard Viewer, respectively.

Additional Features

Dashboard preview has the following additional features: Toolbar, Pagination Tabs and Pagination Navigator

Toolbar

You can access these features from the toolbar available on top of the Dashboard Viewer.

1. Cross Filter (Single Source, Multi-Source, Off)

   The Cross Filter feature provides the capability to focus on relevant information across the scenarios in a dashboard.

   • The Single Source cross-filtering allows the data to filter across other scenarios based on the data attribute selected for the single scenario. As the selection is changed, the new filter is applied without retaining the previous filter. The single source cross-filtering is very useful for simple analysis.

     
     

     
     

   • The Multi-Source cross-filtering allows the data to be filtered across all dashboards based on selections across multiple scenarios. That is, the filter is applied based on data attributes selected across multiple scenarios.

     
     

     Consider a scenario where you are analyzing the Average Revenue by Retailer Country, Product Line, and Product Type. You want to filter data such that the average revenue for only two countries - the United States and Canada are displayed based on the two product lines - Camping Equipment and Outdoor Protection.

     
     

     In this case, multi-source cross-filtering can be applied as shown. Note that the filters over previous selections are retained.

     
     

     
     

2. Fit to Screen (Fit to Width, Fit to Height, Auto)

   
   

   Adjust the dashboard display to fit the screen, width, or height. The default can be specified from the Page Size property of the dashboard.

      When Pagination Style is selected as Tabs, then three more properties are enabled to set the position, width, and alignment of these tabs.

      • Pagination Width Mode: Sets the width of the pagination tabs. The dropdown list has three options: Auto, Fixed, and Distribute. Auto is the default setting. Fixed means you can specify the width of the pagination tabs in another field Pagination Width.

        
        

        Distribute means that the width of the pagination tabs will be distributed equally.

      • Pagination Position: This property sets the display position of the pagination tabs in the dashboard. It has four options: Top, Bottom, Left, and Right.
