Effective Dashboard Design
By Tom Curtiss, Senior Consultant
Communicating data visually.It sounds pretty easy doesn't it? Throw a pie, bar, or line chart on a page and attach the data and you have communicated the data visually. Put a bunch of these on the same page and you have a dashboard.
That is the way it has been done in the past and that is the way it is still done today. But is it effective? Do you know the BEST way to communicate that data in a manner that leads to actionable decisions? Let's find out. |

Creating Interactive Maps Using Active Reports
By Josh Mnookin, Consultant
 Have you ever considered the advantages of creating an interactive map using Active Reports over Report Studio? While doing this in Report Studio results in a nice visual using a map, it tends to lack the details necessary to draw conclusions. Using Active Reports in conjunction with the built-in map functionality allows the user to drill down through the map and gather even details. This additional data can be the key to making decisions for end users.
This short summary will take you step-by-step through a simple demonstration into utilizing this feature in IBM Cognos 10.

Did You Know...
Fun facts about Spring
- The first day of Spring is also called the vernal equinox. "Vernal" and "equinox" are Latin terms meaning "spring" and "equal night" respectively.
- If you were standing on the equator during either the vernal or autumnal equinox, you would see the sun pass directly overhead, the only two times in the year when that is true.
- The two equinoxes are also the only times during the year when the sun rises due east and sets due west.
- In spring, the Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun, increasing the number of daylight hours and bringing warmer weather that causes plants to bring forth new growth.
