Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes displaying, in two dimensions, a business analytics report containing various data elements, wherein each data element has data associated therewith. The method further enables generation of a three-dimensional representation of the business analytics report by adding a time axis to the data elements. Once the three-dimensional representation is generated, the method displays, on the time axis, update points identifying when data associated with the data elements was updated. In some cases, depending on the length of the time axis, several update points may be displayed for each data element. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also described.
