Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a dashboard for access on a remote computing device. Systems may include a business database storing a plurality of business values; a dashboard generator; an image converter and a web page generator. The dashboard generator may derive a plurality of key performance indicator values from the database and generate first dashboard image data. The image converter may generate second dashboard image data corresponding to the first dashboard image data. The web page generator may generate a web page comprising the second dashboard image data. Methods may include: receiving a dashboard generation request from the remote computing device; deriving a plurality of key performance indicator values from a business database; determining first dashboard image data corresponding to the key performance indicator values; determining second dashboard image data corresponding to the first dashboard image data; and generating a dashboard web page comprising the second dashboard image data.

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: 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 generating a dashboard image for viewing on a remote computing device. The system may include a business database storing a plurality of business values; a dashboard generator; an image generator and a web page generator. The dashboard generator may be configured to derive a plurality of key performance indicator values from the database and generate a corresponding dashboard. The image generator may be configured to generate the dashboard image corresponding to the dashboard. The web page generator may be operatively coupled to the image generator and configured to generate a dashboard web page corresponding to the dashboard image. The method may include: receiving a dashboard image request from the remote computing device; deriving a plurality of key performance indicator values from a business database; creating a dashboard image corresponding to the key performance indicator values; generating a dashboard web page corresponding to the dashboard image.

Abstract: The described embodiments relate generally to methods and systems for dashboard creation. In one embodiment, the method may include: generating a plurality of key performance indicator proxy values for a created key performance indicator record; creating a proxy link associating the key performance indicator record with the plurality of key performance indicator proxy values; creating a dashboard design displaying a graphical element corresponding to the key performance indicator record; deriving a plurality of key performance indicator values from a business database; defining a performance link and associating the key performance indicator record with the plurality of key performance indicator values using the performance link.

Abstract: The described embodiments relate generally to methods and systems for providing computer security. In one embodiment, a security system is provided for use with a core application configured to interact with at least one add-in module, and the add-in module being configured to provide at least one privilege. The security system includes a privilege registry configured to identify the at least one privilege and its corresponding add-in module and a privilege assignments table identifying a privilege assignment type for the at least one privilege and corresponding to at least one assignee.
