A visualization combination engine may be used to combine a first data visualization based on a first data set with a second data visualization based on a second data set. The combination process may be initiated by, for example, clicking and dragging the first data visualization onto the second data visualization. The visualization combination engine may create the combined data visualization without requiring the user to manually combine the first and second data sets. The combination may be carried out by identifying a key that is common between the two data sets and combining the first and second data sets into a combined data set based on the key, and then creating the combined data visualization based on the combined data set. One or more cues may be used during the process to provide helpful information and/or allow user selection of the properties of the combined data visualization.

Automated combination of multiple data visualizations

A data analysis system may automatically suggest data visualizations to a user. A primary data visualization may be displayed to graphically illustrate a primary data set of a database. Criteria may be automatically applied to the database to identify a secondary data set that meets the criteria. A secondary data visualization that graphically illustrates the secondary data visualization and/or a corresponding indicator may be displayed. Multiple visualizations and/or indicators may be displayed, and the user may select one for viewing. The criteria may again be applied to the database to identify a tertiary data set. An analysis path may be recorded to enable the user to easily view the decisions made and/or the data visualizations viewed. The criteria may include determination that the secondary data set has the desired amount of data, has unique data types or descriptors, includes data previously selected by the user, or the like.

Automatic creation of drill paths

An alert may provide a user with notification when a trigger condition regarding the operation of an enterprise is satisfied. Prior to setting the alert, a proposed alert with the trigger condition may be received. The trigger condition may be compared with a database of operational data related to operation of the enterprise over a period of time to obtain historical trigger data. The historical trigger data may indicate how the proposed alert would have functioned if applied to the operational data for the period of time, for example, by indicating how many times the alert would have been triggered during the period of time. The historical trigger data may be provided to a user, and may facilitate user determination of whether the proposed alert will perform as desired. Once the desired proposed alert has been entered, the user may set the proposed alert as an actual alert.

Systems and methods for configuring data alerts

In various embodiments, an animation is displayed to indicate that displayed content shown within a display area is scrollable. For example, in at least one embodiment, when scrollable content is initially displayed within a display area, an animation is shown in which the display automatically scrolls through all or some of the content, so as to indicate to the user that there is more content to view. In at least one embodiment, the animation is relatively quick and transitory, so that it serves as a brief reminder of the presence of additional off-screen content that the user can scroll to. In at least one embodiment, the animation is only shown for particular content the first time the display renders that content; in another embodiment, the animation is repeated on subsequent re-rendering of the same content.

Animation to indicate scrollable content

A user can dynamically invoke and control the display of secondary data visualizations based on a selected element of a primary data visualization. Previews of the secondary data visualizations are presented as the user interacts with the primary visualization. In response to user input, previews can be dynamically expanded, allowing a user to dynamically 'drill down' into selected elements of the primary data visualization. Any suitable input mechanism can be used, including for example, a gesture such as a two-finger spreading motion to invoke previews of available secondary visualizations, wherein the axis defined by two points of contact determines which of the displayed previews of secondary visualizations is highlighted and/or expanded. In various embodiments, a hierarchy of visualizations can be established, and the user can navigate among two or more levels of visualizations in the same interactive manner.

Dynamic expansion of data visualizations

Information is presented on a map that resembles a city map, with related information grouped into distinct 'neighborhoods.' Such a display scheme takes advantage of spatial cognition in order to provide an organizational and presentational scheme by which users can more easily remember where to look for and find the right information. Metadata, notifications, and/or other auxiliary information can be presented alongside or superimposed upon the data itself.

Information environment map

A related information provision system may be used to identify constituent data for a selected portion of summary data on a summary data visualization such as a chart or graph. The portion of the summary data may be selected by a user, a system event, and/or another process. The constituent data may include values and/or metadata for one or more data sets summarized by the summary data, formulas and/or other information, which may indicate how the summary data are obtained from the constituent data. Information regarding the constituent data ('related information') may be displayed for a user on a constituent visualization or the like. If the information is already displayed, the system may draw the user's attention to the information. If the information is displayed in a different view, the system may display a navigational element leading to it, or direct the user's attention to an existing navigational element.

Automated provisioning of relational information for a summary data visualization

Determining usefulness of a data alert

Automated integration of partner products in connection with a web analytics application is facilitated. A list of available partner products is displayed, and the user is provided with an opportunity to select one or more of the displayed partner products. A wizard is presented, allowing the user to configure the partner product by specifying and mapping metrics, dimensions, and the like. Partner product integration then takes place automatically, thereby simplifying the process by which such integrations can be implemented.
