Sample Dossier

VISUAL REPORT VIEW The Visualization Report View provides an interactive visual representation of the data in the form a force directed node graph. Each node represents a data column value and the links between the nodes represent relationships between the associated data column values. Closer nodes tend represent stronger relationships.

INTERACTIVE MAP The Interactive Map takes geocoded data from a Big Button report and creates an interactive map with markers representing the data. Each marker represents an element that has geographic data associated with it. Nodes with the same icon are of the same type and may also be color-coded by the administrator.

MAP CLUSTER VIEW The map more readable and to improve its performance, depending on the zoom level of the map, markers are clustered into single markers. Clicking on the clusters will zoom and explode the cluster into individual markers. For details on how the currently selected Report View works
