About This Documentation
This user documentation explains how to use the User Portal to create data sources, Data Worksheets, and Dashboards, as well as how to manage the server with Enterprise Manager. It contains the following main modules:
-
Connect to Your Data: Add a datasource to provide a persistent connection to your data, so that changes that you make to your data by updating, modifying, or deleting records are automatically reflected in all Dashboards that use the data source.
-
Prepare Your Data: Create a Data Worksheet using Visual Composer to manipulate your dataset (e.g., filter, group, sort, transform) or mashup data from multiple data sources.
-
Visualize Your Data: Create a Dashboard using Visual Composer to dynamically filter a data set and visualize the output on tables, charts, and gauges.
-
Configure Self-Service: Configure self-service features to enable users to most effectively create their own dashboards.
-
Publish a Dashboard: Arrange components on a Dashboard for publication across a variety of devices and languages.

-
Chart Script Tutorial and Chart Script Reference: Examples and reference pages for the Chart API, which allows you to access deep Chart functions to create custom Charts using scripted logic.
