Spotfire Ideas Portal
What I would like here would be the ability to define for a "KPI Chart" in Spotfire that it should break into a new row or column for each "KPI" added to a "KPI Chart".
The benefit of this comes if you have multiple KPI calculations that will be compared along the same "x-axis" and "Tile by". As a user you want to be able to quickly look at the calculated values for each "Tile by" value for a specific KPI, but then also quickly look at the calculated values for each KPI for each specific "Tile by" value. Currently there is no way to manually define the appearance/trellising of the blocks. The "KPI Chart" visual just adds blocks for as many "Tile by" values there are and then starts the blocks for the next KPI on the same row/column, and the only thing that defines it is the overall size of the visual on the page.
I can to a certain extent get this working by using multiple "KPI Chart" visuals on a page, but it is not as intuitive, since things like the scroll bars are now independent to each "KPI Chart".
| Implemented in | 14.0 |
Starting with Spotfire 14.0 LTS, an array of enhancements to the KPI chart grant report developers with more control over its visual layout and formatting. Here is what's in store:
Start each KPI on a new row: Force each KPI within a KPI chart to begin on a new row to improve distinction between KPIs and enhance visual clarity.
Customizable font: Edit the base font style and size to ensure consistent visibility of content.
Dynamic tile width: Adjust tiles width relative to the font size to ensure KPI tiles content is showcased optimally.
Minimum number of visible tiles per row: Ensure the layout retains its design integrity, irrespective of view dimensions.
Minimum number of visible tiles: Ensure that a number of tiles remain visible when resizing the view.
These settings harmoniously interact to make the KPI chart perfect for report developers seeking to convey essential metrics and performance indicators effectively, in a clear and concise way.
