Dashboard Creation

Dashboards give the ability to see snapshots of your company.

Step 1 : Create QuickView For Dashboard

The database source needs to be defined and that gets defined as a quickview. Example data sources
are shown below which can be copied into a quickview that you would create. Make sure you limit the
data returned by a date range or some other limiting factor in order to not load the entire database into
the dashbaord

Examples To Paste Into QuickView

Sales Details with Part Numbers

SELECT p.Name,inv.ShipDate,inv.PostDate,inv.TotalAmount
FROM Invoice inv
JOIN Party p ON p.PartyPK=inv.CustomerFK
WHERE ShipDate>= '2013-01-01'

Sales Details with Part Numbers

SELECT
p.Name,inv.ShipDate,inv.PostDate,inv.TotalAmount,invLine.PartNumber,invLine.Revision,invLine.Price
,invLine.Quantity,invLine.ExtendedAmount
FROM Invoice inv
JOIN InvoiceLine invLine ON invLine.InvoiceFK=inv.InvoicePK
JOIN Party p ON p.PartyPK=inv.CustomerFK
WHERE ShipDate>= '2013-01-01'

1. Enter Dashboard into the group which will group the dashboard data sources
2. Enter the description of the data source
3. Enter the SQL required for the data source
4. In order to use this data source in a dashboard you must Check the Use Default Value box.

The dashboard can now be created using the data sources that have been made available through the
quickview setup.

Designing the dashboard is drag and drop and very easy once you have your data sources.

2. Select a graph or grid to edit
3. Drag the “VALUE”, in this case the TotalAmount to the Values Pane (Y Axis)
4. Drag the condition (X Axis) arguments. You can have multiple arguments and turn on the drill
down to drill down into the graph.

Running The Dashboard Standalone

There is an application installed with MIE Trak Pro. You can create a short cut and have this application
start the dashboard system.

Mie.Dashboard.exe

There are two parameters, the 1st is the ID # of the dashboard and the 2nd parameter is the number of
seconds. Add the two parameters to your system. Do not make your interval too small. 1000 is 15
minutes which should be good enough.

Mie.Dashboard.exe /id:2 /interval:1000
