Use Data Blocks and Visualization Objects

Retrieves data based on a SQL query and makes it available to a grid or other visualization objects.

Presents a list of options to the user through a drop-down list and have the selected item be made available as output.

For more information, see Defining an Option List.

Presents a date/time picker to the user and have the selected date/time or selected time range be made available as output.

For more information, see Defining a Date/Time Control.

Presents a slide control to the user from which to select a single numeric value.

For more information, see Defining a Slide Control.

Presents a slide control to the user from which to select a numeric value range. It differs from the Slider block as it can provide two values instead of one. It can also be used to assign colors to ranges in grids, gauges, bubble diagrams, and maps

For more information, see Defining a Range Control.

Can show a combination of static and/or dynamic text, and optionally provide a web link when clicked on. It can display as simple text or as a button.

For more information, see Defining a Link.

Displays a field into which users can type text to be used as an input to another object.

For more information, see Defining a Text Entry.

Generates an event at a specified interval,that can be used to refresh other blocks, like the Query Data block or the Date/Time block.

For more information, see Defining a Timer Control.

Transforms a data block by transposing row values into one or more columns, or condensing multiple column values into a single column. Useful for creating array columns that cal display Sparkline visualizations.

For more information, see Defining a Data Frame Control.

Filters the input of a data block and makes the results available as the output of the Data Filter block.

For more information, see Defining a Data Filter.

Provides a way to show tabular or hierarchical data in grid.

For more information, see Defining a Grid.

Shows data in standard graph formats such as line, bar, column, pie, and area.

For more information, see Defining a Chart.

Provides a way to highlight a single numerical value, such as CPU usage. Can attach a Slider to control ranges and colors.

For more information, see Defining a Gauge.

Presents area graphs in a compact manner. Horizon graphs require a numerical or date-based domain and a numerical range, and are best used to show patterns and exceptions over a set of data.

For more information, see Defining a Horizon Graph.

Shows volume flow between entities. Each entity is displayed as a rectangle, with the link between two entities having a width proportional to its value.

For more information, see Defining a Sankey Diagram.

Shows a single data dimension using two axes in a circular layout. This type of chart is useful for showing cyclic data such as hours of the day during the week and makes it easy to identify clustered data values such as periods of peak usage.

For more information, see Defining a Heat Chart.

For more information, see Defining a Map.

Used to clearly shows relative relationships between data values, for example file sizes or number of hits on various web sites. If the data is hierarchically ordered, the Bubble Diagram can also show the parent/child relationships, such as applications that make up a package.

For more information, see Defining a Bubble Diagram.

Shows a series in a block-based matrix to display and view data points in relation to others. The bound data must have one column for the name values, and one or more columns that define the series, or axis data values. The output from the matrix will be the set of rows matched against the matrix-selected object names.

For more information, see Defining a Matrix.

Displays a visual representation of another dashboard that links to the selected dashboard when clicked on by the user.

For more information, see Defining a Dash Link.

Allows the display of an external web page by entering a relevant URL.

For more information, see Defining a Web Page Link.

Allows you to display hierarchical data in a node based format.
