Layout

The page consists of a header and a chart area.

Behavior and Interaction

The header area (light blue bar) at the top contains a smart filter bar with KPI information and the facet filters. The facet filters act as a cross filter secondary to smart filters providing multiple dimensions. By clicking on the blue bar, you can open or close the filter area.

If the user clicks on the Show Mini Tiles button in the top right corner, the header expands and displays a set of tiles that contain KPIs and their corresponding micro charts. Tiles of the same KPI open a popover with KPI details as well as tiles with associated KPIs when clicked navigate to another dashboard.

When the header is collapsed and all the filters are set, maximum real estate is available for analysis of the content in the chart area below. The chart toolbar provides a number of standard interactions. You can switch between different views, chart types, and a table view. The chart can also be enlarged to full screen size.
