2. 2 Agenda The issues One look at all of your resources IT Tile Chart –How it works –Extending the possibilities with Stored Processes SAS BI Dashboard

3. 3 Todays IT Issues Resources are growing –Numbers –Size –Volume of information Reports are growing Fewer Analysts to develop and use Need –a capability to view and analyze a large quantity of resources –a quick and easy development process –A report to focus attention on the issues that require action

4. Reports that Focus Overview tile chart BI Dashboard

5. 5 What is a Tile Chart? Technically, a rectangular tree map –Heat Map –Tile Map –Heat Chart SAS calls it a Tile Chart

6. 6 What is a Tile Chart? Technically, a rectangular tree map Designed to: –View a large quantity of data –Visualize hierarchical data –Show many levels of detail –Use limited visual space –Limit use of labeling –Use data tips or mouse over capability –Link to other tile charts, graphs, tables, or Web sites Accessed through a Web browser or portal

7. The Original Idea The chart is designed to view a large quantity of hierarchical based data in a limited space. Each unique category combination is represented by a rectangular tile with size and color determined by response variables. These tiles are placed in a hierarchal arrangement. One version created by smartmoney.com is called the Map of the Market, which visualizes the stock market. (www.smartmoney.com/map-of-the-market)www.smartmoney.com/map-of-the-market 7

8. What does it Look Like? An existing Tile Chart as seen through the SAS Information Delivery Portal 8

9. What does it Look Like? Hierarchical organization Current level of hierarchy is the only label 9

10. What does it Look Like? A color-gradient legend provides a key to the value of the tile colors A data tip with detail information 10

11. Drill-Down Hierarchy Here is a link to a stored process with prompts: http://sasbi.demo.sas.com:8080/SASStoredProcess/do? _program=/BIP%20Tree/Daily_CPU&Machine={&1} &date={&2}&_odsstyle=ITRMDefault The drill-down hierarchy passes prompt values from the current tile to a stored process.

12. 12 Creating a Stored Process Creating a stored process makes the underlying code available for execution from other SAS applications

14. 14 What Is a Dashboard? Dashboards are information delivery tools: used to graphically display key metrics within an organization. primarily used as a way to summarize information for decision support purposes. Corporate dashboards have existed for many years, as has the ability to create them using various SAS software products.

15. 15 What Is a BI Dashboard? SAS BI Dashboard Bi Dashboard enables the rapid creation and deployment of dashboards that display data from a wide variety of data sources and systems. A dashboard is a way to represent numbers in an easily consumable, graphical form. Dashboards display information in such a way that the information can be interpreted and monitored at a glance.

16. 16 Dashboard support many types of gages and graphs. Dashboards can display one or two analysis variables at a time.

17. Display Types Different display types are used for visually displaying information on a dashboard. 17

18. Configuration Icons Further customize the indicator by configuring: links to other dashboards, graphs or stored processes alerts gauge properties. Not all display types enable you to access each of the different configuration icons. 18 Define gauge properties Define indicator alerts Define indicator links
