In the dashboard view mode of Business Analytics you are able to use the function flow diagram interactively.
The view mode enables you
to select individual functions and connections, for example, for filtering other components. Selected elements are highlighted. To select a connection you can click the connection or the relevant connection value.
to display connection values. If connection values are displayed, hovering over connections shows a tooltip which contains the column name of the shown connection value together with the corresponding value for this connection.
to display function labels and function measures. Function name and measure value are displayed within the function symbol. A tooltip is shown when hovering over the function symbol which contains the column name of the function measure value together with the corresponding value for this function. If function measures are defined but there are no values available for a specific function, no value is shown.
to move the entire diagram or the individual function symbols via drag and drop. To move the complete diagram, click on an empty space within the component and hold down the mouse button. Now the graph can be moved until you release the mouse button.
to resize the diagram via mouse wheel. The diagram can be zoomed in or out related to the mouse pointer position.
to select the connection values displayed. You can select the values in the widget settings menu. The drop-down menu is provided if you have set at least one Additional connection values in the Assign data (2/2) dialog. See Assign data sources.
to enable the magnifier. Click the Settings icon and select Enable magnifier. The magnifier is enabled by default. The magnifier enlarges the diagram elements on mouse over.
to display the relevance slider. Click the Settings icon and select Show slider. The relevance slider is enabled by default. If you deactivate the Show slider option the slider is hidden and only the plus and minus buttons are only displayed. The slider is also hidden if there is not enough space in the graph.
The relevance slider filters the relevance values in the graph based on the relevance value assigned to the connections. See Assign data sources. The top and the bottom values are based on the configured sorting of the relevance column. The top value is set to 100% and the bottom value only shows the connections with the smallest value.
Move the mouse pointer over the plus and minus button or over the slider to display a tooltip with information about the connection values filtered.
The relevance slider is not supported if the widget is used as a global widget on more than one tab.
