Dashboard Scenarios
Wyn Enterprise provides a rich library of dashboard scenarios—the building blocks you use to design compelling, interactive, and data-driven dashboards. Scenarios are visual or functional components like charts, tables, maps, slicers, and indicators, each with specific use cases that help you tell a complete story with your data.
Whether you're tracking KPIs, exploring geospatial trends, analyzing time series, or building dynamic filters, there's a scenario for every visualization and interaction need.
Why Use Dashboard Scenarios?
Each scenario serves a unique purpose in how data is explored and understood. By combining scenarios strategically, you can:
Highlight trends and outliers
Enable interactive filtering
Compare performance across time or regions
Provide high-level KPIs with drill-down options
Organize complex data into clean layouts
Embed custom or third-party visuals
Types of Dashboard Scenarios
Here are the main categories of dashboard scenarios you can use:
Category | Description |
---|---|
Includes bar, line, pie, area, combo, and more. Ideal for trend, comparison, and distribution analysis. | |
Display KPIs, performance goals, and status indicators at a glance. | |
Tabular data views, including pivot tables, to explore raw or aggregated details. | |
Visualize geographic data using location fields such as country, state, or city. | |
Advanced charts built using formulas and custom logic to derive new metrics. | |
Interactive filters like drop-downs, checkboxes, and date pickers to control other visuals. | |
Layout tools like cards, buttons, text boxes, and image holders to structure your dashboard and add interactivity. | |
Specialized visualizations to display networks, hierarchies, or system-level connections. | |
Embed your own JavaScript-based visualizations or integrate external content. |
Use Cases by Scenario Type
Charts: Compare revenue trends, breakdown sales by category, visualize customer behavior.
Maps: Analyze sales by region, plot customer locations, monitor service coverage.
Indicators: Show daily active users, goal completion status, or revenue vs. target.
Tables: Present transactional records or use as drill-down from charts.
Slicers: Allow users to dynamically filter by region, product, time period, or more.
Calc Charts: Perform YoY, MoM, or custom aggregation comparisons.
Topology: Model relationships such as IT infrastructure, supply chains, or business org charts.
Common Scenario Properties
All Dashboard scenarios have common property groups that control the position of the control, special data, no data as well as properties to control animations and interactivity with the control. The following sections describe these properties.
Title
The Show Title property can be set to False
to hide the chart’s title. By default, the Title displays the name of the chart type, but you can replace it with custom text.
You can adjust the Alignment of the title to Left, Center, or Right. The Title Font Settings let you customize the font family, size, color, weight, and style. Use the Padding property to add space around the title.
Layout
In the Layout properties, you can set the X Position, Y Position, the Width, and the Height of the chart.
Appearance
The Appearance properties control the visual styling of the chart. You can set a Background Color and apply Padding and Margin to adjust spacing inside and around the slicer. To hide the column chart from view, set the Visibility property to False
.
You can also upload a Background Image and customize the Border Color.
To display a border, make sure the Border Width is set to a value greater than 0
. Use the Border Radius property to round the corners of the chart—the higher the value, the more curved the corners. The Shadow property allows you to add a drop shadow. You can configure its visibility, color, and intensity using the corresponding settings.
Special Data
The Show Null As and Show Blank As properties control what the chart displays when there is a null or a blank value, respectively. You can customize the messaging using these properties.
No Data Content
The No Data Content properties control what the chart displays when its data source is empty. You can customize the message using the Content property.
Use Text Align to position the text (Left, Center, or Right), and Vertical Align to adjust its placement up or down within the slicer.
You can also customize the appearance of the text by setting the Font family, size, color, weight, and style. Additionally, you can upload a Background Image to be shown when no data is available.
Animation
The Animation section allows you to add entrance animations to the slicer. Available options include:
SlideInDown
,SlideInLeft
,SlideInRight
,SlideInUp
BackInDown
,BackInLeft
,BackInRight
You can also set the Delay and Duration (in seconds) to control the timing of the animation. Set an Automatic Carousel to highlight each column sequentially in the preview.
