Views for Mashups and Mashables
 
Built-in MashZone NextGen Views
Creating Pluggable Views or Libraries
Views define the format and layout for data from mashables and mashups. Views may also require specific types of information. Charts typically work with numeric data, maps require location data and tabular views accept almost any kind of data.
Views also define which devices support their layout: desktop browsers, mobile phones and/or mobile tablets. See About Desktop and Mobile View Compatibility for more information.
MashZone NextGen bundles a set of common views, known as the built-in views, that you can use to work with mashable or mashup data or use to create apps. New in this release, MashZone NextGen also now includes real-time views for Event mashables.
You can add multiple views to use with a specific mashable or mashup. See Add Views to Mashables and Mashups for instructions. You can then use these views can in basic apps that you or other users create from that mashable or mashup. Or they can be added directly to workspaces. See Create a Basic App for more information on creating basic apps. See Create Workspace Apps with Mashboard for more information on creating workspaces.
MashZone NextGen developers and administrators can also:
*Customize the views you create for mashables and mashups. This actually creates basic apps which they customize.
*Create additional, pluggable views that are added to the list of built-in views. You can then use them to add views to mashables or mashups.
The following built-in MashZone NextGen views are all compatible with desktop browsers. Views that are also mobile compatible, have additional icons. See About Desktop and Mobile View Compatibility for more information.
Grids
*Feed Reader : displays syndicated feeds in either RSS or Atom formats in a table.
*Grid and KPIs View : displays data in a table of any size providing a variety of formats for data including KPI rules to display status indicators. This view automatically paginates data and can group rows based on the unique values in one column.
*Record Details View : shows detailed data for a single row of repeating data in the results in a two-column table. The first column shows field labels and the second shows values. You may 'page' through each row of values, as needed.
Maps
*Geo Map : displays one numeric statistic for one or more countries within a map of a specific region or of the entire world. Numeric values display as a gradient of a color, from light to dark corresponding to lowest to highest values.
*Google Map : shows one or more repeating items in your data as locations in a map with an overlay of roads and streets. Users can choose different map types and can control placement and zoom.
Note:  
This view requires Internet access.
*Intensity Map : displays one or several numeric statistics for one or more countries within a map of a specific region or of the entire world. Numeric values display as a gradient of a color, from light to dark corresponding to lowest to highest values. Each statistic displays in a separate tab.
Line and Area Charts
*Area Chart : displays one or more numeric dimensions for a set of records as lines between data points for each record and the area underneath each line filled with color.
*Kagi Chart : displays stepped lines indicating the change in trend for one numeric dimension compared to thresholds, such as changes in supply and demand based on price with thresholds of previous high and low.
*Line Chart : displays several numeric dimensions for a set of records. Each dimension draws angled straight lines that illustrate the change between data points and the lines emphasize the differences between records for the same data point.
*Sparkline : displays the fluctation of a single data set over time or categories. Data should have small fluctuations and be appropriate to render as a line, such as the fluctuations of a stock price.
*Spline Area Chart : displays one or more numeric dimensions for a set of records as curved lines with the area underneath each curve filled with color. This is similar to area charts, but the fitted curves are appropriate for continuous data.
*Spline Line Chart : displays several numeric dimensions for a set of records as curved lines that illustrate the trend or change between data points. This is similar to line charts, but the fitted curves are appropriate for continuous data.
*Step Line : displays lines that are can be vertical or horizontal only, resulting in steps that highlight changes in magnitude. Step lines are can be more appropriate for discrete data or for data where specific thresholds should be visible.
Bar, Column and Rectangle Charts
*Bar Chart : displays numeric data points as horizontal bars for a set of records. For vertical "bars", use the Column chart instead.
Bar can be rendered in two dimensions or three. Bars can also be stacked.
*Candlestick Chart : displays price and optionally volume information for stocks or commodities in a grid of candles and optional column chart.
*Column Chart : displays numeric data points as vertical bars for a set of records. For horizontal "bars", use the bar chart instead.
Columns can be rendered in two dimensions or three. Columns can also be stacked.
*Gantt Chart tracks the progress of tasks across a timeline.
*Marimekko Chart : displays multiple numeric dimensions as stacked columns allowing easy comparison across different categories. Columns may also display dimensions as percentages.
*Pareto Chart : a combination of a column chart and a line chart, pareto charts order data in an 80/20 display to allow easy identification of key causes or factors.
*Sparkline Column : displays a single data metric over time or categories as a set of vertical bars.
*Sparkline win_loss : displays a single data metric across time or categories with respect to an origin line. One typical use is to dsiplay data points as win/loss/draw or profit/loss/break-even.
Circular and Miscellaneous Charts...
*Bubble Chart : displays numeric data points positioned on a grid and also indicate the importance or scale of each data point by the size of the bubble. Bubble charts are a variation of scatter charts.
*Doughnut Chart : displays numeric data points for a single record or a single data point for multiple records as percentages of a whole. The lack of a center gives a different emphasis to the data. See also Pie chart.
*Funnel Chart : displays a single, progressively smaller numeric data point for a set of records. Data decrease down to the final point of the funnel. Both the decreasing radius of the funnel and the overall depth of each slice indicate the decreasing size of the data. See also Pyramid chart.
*Gauge Set : see following row.
*Pie Chart : displays numeric data points for a single record or a single data point for multiple records as percentages of a whole. The percentage is rendered as a "slice of pie" covering an arc within a circle. See also Doughnut chart.
*Pyramid Chart : displays a single, progressively smaller data point for a set of records. Data decreases up the pyramid to the final point. Both the decreasing circumference of the pyramid and the overall depth of each slice indicate the decreasing size of the data. See also Funnel chart.
*Radar Chart : display irregular polygons plotted from a shared center with each polygon point representing the magnitude of a dimension of one item. Radar charts facilitate easy comparison of multiple dimensions for dataset rows. This is also sometimes called a spider chart.
*Scatter Chart : displays a series numeric data points as discrete points. Scatter charts allow users to determine a pattern, if any, and the scope or distribution of the data. See also Line and Area charts.
Gauges
*Dial Gauge : angular gauges, or dials, display a single numeric data point, or a set of data points, in relation to a scale rendered in an arc. With multiple data points, each value appears in a single gauge and users can page to the gauge for the next value.
*Bulb Gauge : shows a single numeric data point using the size, color and label or percentage to indicate the status of the data in relationship to a scale. Bulb graphs can also handle sets of numeric values. Only one value is displayed at a time. With multiple values, users can page to this gauge for each value.
*Bullet Gauge : display a single numeric data point as a bar in relation to a scale and a target on that scale. Bullet graphs are similar to bar or column charts and can be either horizontal or vertical.
Bullet graphs can also handle sets of numeric values. Only one value is displayed at a time. With multiple values, users can page to this gauge for each value.
*Cylinder Gauge : displays a single numeric data value, or a set of single values, in relation to a scale rendered as a cylinder. Only one value is displayed at a time. With multiple values, users can page to this gauge for each value.
*LED Gauge : displays a single numeric data point, or a set of data points. in relation to a scale that is rendered as LED lights. This scale can also progress through color ranges to provide additional status information. The scale can be either horizontal or vertical.
Only one value is displayed at a time. With multiple values, users can page to this gauge for each value.
*Linear Gauge : displays a single numeric data point, or a set of numeric data points, in relation to a scale that renders as a horizontal bar. The bar can also progress through color changes to provide additional status information.
Only one value is displayed at a time. With multiple values, users can page to this gauge for each value.
*Thermometer Gauge : displays a single numeric data point, or a set of data points, in relation to a scale that is rendered as a vertical thermometer. This can be literal temperature data or simply a scale to indicate importance, progress and so on.
Only one value is displayed at a time. With multiple values, users can page to this gauge for each value.
Real-Time Charts
Real-time charts provide common chart views only for event mashables. See What are real-time charts? for more information. Available real-time charts include:
*Real-Time Line Chart : displays one or more numeric dimensions as lines for a set of events that either:
*Dynamically updates a growing time line.
*Dynamically updates lines for one category.
Custom
MashZone NextGen developers can also create custom views for a specific mashables or mashup using the Template View .
MashZone NextGen developers can also create pluggable views and add them to the MashZone NextGen View Gallery to allow users to add pluggable views to many mashables or mashups.
