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.

Abstract: An aspect of the technology described relates to a dashboard creation system for generating dashboards displaying key performance indicator (KPI) information. The dashboard creation system includes: a business database comprising a plurality of business values; an intermediate table comprising intermediate data; and at least one KPI record. In some implementations, the intermediate data includes: an intermediate value corresponding to a selected plurality of the business values; and an intermediate link identifying the corresponding selected plurality of business values. Also, the KPI record may include: a KPI value corresponding to the intermediate value; a KPI link corresponding to the intermediate link and identifying the corresponding selected plurality of the business values; and a KPI format corresponding to a desired graphical format for depicting the KPI value. A processor may be provided to render the KPI value in the KPI format.

In some implementations, the intermediate data includes: an intermediate value corresponding to a selected plurality of the business values; and an intermediate link identifying the corresponding selected plurality of business values. Also, the KPI record may include: a KPI value corresponding to the intermediate value; a KPI link corresponding to the intermediate link and identifying the corresponding selected plurality of the business values; and a KPI format corresponding to a desired graphical format for depicting the KPI value. A processor may be provided to render the KPI value in the KPI format.

Abstract: An aspect of the technology described relates to a dashboard creation system for generating dashboards displaying key performance indicator information. The dashboard creation system includes: a business database comprising a plurality of business values; an intermediate table comprising intermediate data; and at least one key performance indicator record. In some implementations, the intermediate data includes: an intermediate value corresponding to a selected plurality of the business values; and an intermediate link identifying the corresponding selected plurality of business values. Also, the key performance indicator record may include: a key performance indicator value corresponding to the intermediate value; a key performance indicator link corresponding to the intermediate link and identifying the corresponding selected plurality of the business values; and a key performance indicator format corresponding to a desired graphical format for depicting the key performance indicator value.
