It sees them from multi-dimensional sources like SQL Server analysis services, but Qliktech finds those relationships automatically.<BR/><BR/>Proclarity is great at using these hierarchies in its data decomposition tree. <BR/><BR/>If Tableau added automatic and user created hierarchies, data decomposition tree, and some light, but usable GIS features with basic included maps, I'd be in heaven.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07674953401139847127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34368959.post-69957834928540327772008-01-25T00:32:00.000-05:002008-01-25T00:32:00.000-05:00Tableau does have a new product, Tableau Server, t...Tableau does have a new product, <A = HREF="http://www.tableausoftware.com/products/server" REL="nofollow">Tableau Server</A>, that allows users to view graphs or dashboards via a web browser.<BR/><BR/>Austin Dahl<BR/>(Tableau Employee)Austin Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570383725368425568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34368959.post-72681738233544376782007-09-21T12:31:00.000-04:002007-09-21T12:31:00.000-04:00Most if not all of today's business intelligence s...Most if not all of today's business intelligence software can generate a Web dashboard. Their default designs will not be very Tufte-like, but you should be able to get them to do most of what you want unless you really want something specific like charts within a matrix ("small multiples"). <BR/><BR/>Your post says you ant to "generate graphs to my specs and then push them out to the users desktops". That's a different function than a Web dashboard, which is something they would log into. The "publish and push" approach is probematic for a dashboard because you need to keep republishing the dashboard each time the data changes, and it's harder to do any kind of drill-down. If you have a real need to do it that way (e.g., many disconnected users), you'll have to look a bit harder. (For what it's worth, QlikTech does have a Publisher module to do that sort of thing.)<BR/><BR/>I don't think Tableau itself has a Web access feature, but could be wrong. If anybody from Tableau reads this, please clarify.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.David Raabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03489754392712536104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34368959.post-49642843188419906722007-09-20T10:22:00.000-04:002007-09-20T10:22:00.000-04:00I am a Tufte-devotee who has worked mostly in prin...I am a Tufte-devotee who has worked mostly in printed display media. I'm investigating how to present data via a web dashboard to execs monitoring production facilities. I want an app that will query the db and generate graphs to my specs and push them out to the users desktops.<BR/><BR/>As a rank novice to the web-distribution aspect, it seems Tableau would be great for an analyst to use, but not exactly what I need as a producer (not consumer) of visual information.<BR/><BR/>I'd appreciate any guidance you could provide and what solutions are the most cost-effective and flexible.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Laughing Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577758021496425133noreply@blogger.com
