Abstract: A dashboard generation system generates a dashboard that displays an annotation to key performance indicator information. The dashboard generation system uses a business database, an intermediate table, an annotation associated with a dimension category, and formatting data to generate a dashboard. The dashboard generator determines a dimension category and renders the intermediate values and annotations in the corresponding desired graphical format.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a discussion thread to key performance indicator information displayed on a dashboard are disclosed. The system may include a renderer for rendering a dashboard displaying a key performance indicator value corresponding to at least one business value. The system may also include a comment module that is configured to: receive a comment corresponding to the displayed key performance indicator value, and generate a discussion thread including the received comment. The generated dashboard can then be rendered by the renderer in association with the displayed key performance indicator value. In some cases, the discussion thread can include a plurality of related comments.

Abstract: Real-time data visualization systems and methods are described. A data cube may be generated, wherein the data cube comprises a set of transforms to be applied to two or more data elements from disparate data sources, wherein processing of the data cube is to result in a data cube result having a plurality of measures and one or more hierarchies. A user may build a visualization, which produces a visualization request associated with the data cube, the visualization request specifying one or more of the measures and hierarchies of the data cube. The system identifies, based on the visualization request, one or more transforms within the data cube to remove from the data cube for the purpose of the visualization request to produce a modified data cube, and carries out the transforms of the modified data cube to produce a modified data cube result, which is exposed to the client-side visualization processor for rendering the visualization.
