The User Interface


The most vital parts of the user interface are shown below.

1. Visualizations

An analysis consists of visualizations based on the loaded data. To provide the best representation of your data, many visualization types are available. Within each visualization type, you can use various properties to reflect different dimensions of the data, for example, color, size, and shape.

2. Pages

The visualizations are organized onto pages in the analysis. You can resize and move around the visualizations to get the desired layout when creating an analysis.

A page can also contain text areas. There you can add information, static as well as dynamic, and also initiate various kinds of interactions like filtering or switching to another analysis page.

3. Authoring bar

You access the most frequently used features for authors by clicking the icons on the authoring bar. If the authoring bar is unavailable, switch from Viewing mode to Editing mode in the top right corner of the menu bar, see below.

4. Menu bar

In the left part of the menu bar, features mentioned in the authoring bar above are accessible, but you can also get access to other important features, for example, property settings for data tables and columns, various statistical tools, and the user's guide. In addition, buttons for Undo and Redo are available.  

If you want, you can click the three dots furthest to the left to turn on and off the menus.

To the right on the menu bar, you can use Find as a short way to find contents as well as actions and features you want to use. This part of the toolbar is also where you get information, various notifications, and scheduled updates details, and you can open the collaboration, bookmarks, and filters panels, and settings for the visualization properties. You can customize this part of the toolbar by selecting shortcuts to actions and tools that you use often.

If you are authoring analyses to be consumed by users who do not have authoring rights, you get their view of the analysis by switching from Editing to Viewing in the drop-down list.
