Using Visualizations at Run-Time

In WebFOCUS InfoAssist, you can run visualizations that are either saved or run dynamically at run time. In this case, the visualization opens in a separate browser window, as shown in the following image.

In the WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Portal, all users can run stored visualizations that are available to them. In this case, the visualization opens in a new page.

Working With Filters at Run Time

If you have added a filter to your visualization, you can use the Prompts panel to control the display of information. When you run your visualization, the Prompts panel appears. This enables you to select additional components by which to filter the visualization.

Note: The filters that you apply at run time can be removed using the Remove Filter option in the Run-Time toolbar. This does not apply to filters that were added prior to running the visualization.

The following image shows an example of a visualization with an open Prompts panel.

Note: If you select (or lasso) components of your visualization, the Prompts panel does not automatically update to reflect your selections.

Filter Data With Tooltips at Run Time

Procedure
1. Run a visualization from one of the following locations:

   From the WebFOCUS .

   From the Application Main Menu or Quick Access Toolbar in WebFOCUS InfoAssist.

2. Click, point to, or lasso data in your visualization.

   A tooltip opens, as shown in the following image.

   

   The tooltip includes the following options:

   • Filter Chart. Filters the visualization by the data values that you have selected.
   • Exclude from Chart. Excludes the selected data values from the visualization.
   • Remove Filter. Removes the filter and returns the visualization to its original state.

   Note:

   • The same run-time options are available when you run your visualization on a mobile device.
   • If you are working with a single bar, line, or other visualization object that displays a single point or value, the Filter Chart and Exclude from Chart options are not available. This applies when working in Live Preview and at run time.

Viewing Data at Run Time

When viewing data at run time, you can access the data behind each visual in your visualization. Using the Show Data option, which is available from the Run-Time toolbar, you can view your data in summary format. This grid display includes totals for the categories in your visual, based on the data fields that you selected. All WebFOCUS InfoAssist users can use this option with the visualizations that are available to them.

View Data at Run Time
