Systems, methods, and software for developing application usage information are provided herein. An exemplary method includes identifying data sources that relate to application usage activity of one or more users, determining activity signals related to at least data analysis by the one or more users from among the application usage activity, and applying the activity signals to a knowledge graphing service that infers data analysis preferences from among the activity signals. The method also includes providing ones of the data analysis preferences for use by data insight services that establish data insight objects visualizing target datasets based at least on the ones of the data analysis preferences.

Application usage signal inference and repository

Systems, methods, and software for data visualization frameworks are provided herein. An exemplary method includes identifying a target dataset from which to determine data insights for presentation in an insight interface to the user application. The method includes determining data insight candidates for the target dataset based at least on usage modalities associated with processing one or more past datasets, and establishing content of the data insight candidates according to at least the target dataset and the usage modalities, where the content of each of the data insight candidates includes at least one insight object described by object metadata that indicates at least a processing lineage used to produce the at least one insight object.

Insight objects as portable user application objects

A system (and corresponding methodology) by which a user can interact directly with visual data is provided. The system employs associations and relationships between visual data objects to automatically update objects based upon a change in other objects. The innovation also provides specialized controls (e.g., dashboard tools/controls) that facilitate manipulation of visual data. As there can be numerous manners in which a user can interact with visualization data, the innovation enables a specialized set of controls to be identified and provided to a user thereby reducing overwhelming effects of a large number of controls.

Dashboard controls to manipulate visual data

An adaptable user interface is formed based on a role assumed by a user and the identification of tasks in a process that need to be performed. For each role assumed by the user, a set of tasks assigned to the role is identified. Each task is evaluated to determine if it is an active task that needs to be performed in one or more processes. For each active task, an element is added to the user interface.

Adaptable user interface for business software

A system facilitates dynamic data visualizations. The system includes an analysis component that periodically processes one or more incoming data streams to determine a visualization form from a plurality of visualization forms. A visualization component dynamically generates the visualization form based in part on the processing of the incoming data streams.

Visualization of streaming real-time data

A visualization development system is provided. The system includes a visualization tool to develop one or more visualizations and a grammar engine that operates with the visualization tool to automatically detect visualization problems during the development of the visualizations.

Grammar checker for visualization

A visualization input system is provided. The system includes a visualization component that receives input gestures from a user (or users) and translates the gestures into one or more data manipulation commands. A distribution component receives the data manipulation commands and propagates data modifications across one or more databases in view of the commands. This includes a rights component that enables the data modifications to be implemented across the one or more databases.
