8 Box Plot Visualizations 8 Box Plot Visualizations Product: IBM Cognos Active Report Area of Interest: Reporting

9 Box Plot Visualizations 9 1 Introduction Boxplot 1.1 Purpose This document demonstrates how to add box plot extensible visualizations to active reports in Report Studio. 1.2 Applicability To perform the tasks in this document, you must use IBM Cognos Business Intelligence with visualizations imported by the administrator and made available to users.

10 Box Plot Visualizations 10 2 Adding a box plot visualization to an active report You can add a visualization to an active report to efficiently represent your data. Box plots show groups of numerical data from a distribution of numbers, such as minimum and maximum values, upper and lower quartiles, median values, and outlying values. This is an example of a box plot visualization: Before you begin

11 Box Plot Visualizations 11 Your administrator must make the visualizations available in the Visualization Gallery. If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to view visualizations, you must have Microsoft Silverlight 5 installed on your computer. Firefox or ipad users do not need Silverlight. About this task You add data to a visualization by inserting data items in drop zones. Visualizations will not run until all of the required drop zones contain data items. When all the required drop zones contain data items, additional drop zones appear for extra categories or values. You can use extra categories and extra values to filter data or set variables. Extra items are not visible in the visualization. When working with dimensional data sources, if the visualization does not contain a measure against which to plot data, you must provide one. For example, if you add a single member to the values drop zone, such as '2012', the default measure drop zone appears in which you must insert a measure. Attention: The supported properties for a visualization are determined by the visualization definition. For this type of visualization, the following Data Container properties are not applicable: Drill-Through Tooltips Set Variable Values Container Select Application Drill-Through Show Hover For the Clickable Regions property, the only applicable option is Visualization as a Whole. 3 Procedure 1. Create a new active report or open an existing active report. 2. From the Toolbox tab, drag a Visualization icon to the work area.

120 Tag Cloud Visualizations Introduction Tag Cloud 82.1 Purpose This document demonstrates how to add tag cloud extensible visualizations to active reports in Report Studio Applicability To perform the tasks in this document, you must use IBM Cognos Business Intelligence with visualizations imported by the administrator and made available to users.

121 Tag Cloud Visualizations Adding a tag cloud visualization to an active report You can add a visualization to an active report to efficiently represent your data. Tag clouds show a list of words with their size and color intensity determined by a given measure. This is an example of a tag cloud visualization: Before you begin Your administrator must make the visualizations available in the Visualization Gallery. If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to view visualizations, you must have Microsoft Silverlight 5 installed on your computer. Firefox or ipad users do not need Silverlight. About this task You add data to a visualization by inserting data items in drop zones. Visualizations will not run until all of the required drop zones contain data items. When all the required drop zones contain data items, additional drop zones appear

122 Tag Cloud Visualizations 122 for extra categories or values. You can use extra categories and extra values to filter data or set variables. Extra items are not visible in the visualization. When working with dimensional data sources, if the visualization does not contain a measure against which to plot data, you must provide one. For example, if you add a single member to the values drop zone, such as '2012', the default measure drop zone appears in which you must insert a measure. Attention: The supported properties for a visualization are determined by the visualization definition. 84 Procedure 139. Create a new active report or open an existing active report From the Toolbox tab, drag a Visualization icon to the work area From the Visualization Gallery, select the Tag cloud icon and click OK From the Source tab, drag items to the appropriate location in the data container: a. Under Values, drag a measure to the Size drop zone. b. Under Categories, drag an item to the Categories drop zone Add any active controls that you want and run the report.

124 Network with Bubbles Visualizations Introduction 85.1 Purpose This document demonstrates how to add network with bubbles extensible visualizations to active reports in Report Studio Applicability To perform the tasks in this document, you must use IBM Cognos Business Intelligence with visualizations imported by the administrator and made available to users.

125 Network with Bubbles Visualizations Adding a network with bubbles visualization to an active report You can add a visualization to an active report to efficiently represent your data. You can add a network with bubbles visualization in IBM Cognos Active Report. Network with bubbles charts use nodes and links to show the relationships between entities or items. Bubbles vary in size and color according to different measures. The nodes data container defines the items that you want to link together. The links data container defines relationship between the items that you want to link together. This is an example of a network with bubbles visualization: Before you begin Network node drop zones (From node, To node, Node) only take numeric data items. Not all data sources have the appropriate data to create a network with bubbles visualization. Your administrator must make the visualizations available in the Visualization Gallery. If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to view visualizations, you must have Microsoft Silverlight 5 installed on your computer. Firefox or ipad users do not need Silverlight. About this task

Attention: The supported properties for a visualization are determined by the visualization definition. 87 Procedure 144. Create a new active report or open an existing active report From the Toolbox tab, drag a Visualization icon to the work area From the Visualization Gallery, select the Network with Bubbles icon and click OK From the Source tab, drag items to the appropriate location in the data container: a. In the links data1 data container, drag items to From node and To node. The links data container defines the relationship between the items that you want to link together, such as Employees and Manager. b. In the Node data1 data container, drag measures to the Node value1 and Node value2 drop zones. The nodes data container defines the items that you want to link together, such as Employees, defined by an employee code. Node value1 is the measure that determines the size of the bubbles, and Node value2 is the measure that determines the color of the bubbles. c. In the Node data1 data container, drag items to the Node and Name drop zones. Node is the numeric field that uniquely identifies the nodes to plot, and Name is the label that appears in each node.
