Boards¶
A user can save any important query outputs (like charts and texts) for future references or make a presentation of all the important query outputs. It can be done by adding those outputs to the Board. Each thread is associated with a single board.
View to expand vizies¶
To add an insight to a Board:
From a thread, click on the
button below the query insight.
Provide feedback to the qbo about the result. The user can like, dislike the query result or report an issue with it by clicking on
icons respectively.The query insight opens in a separate window showing the query insight in details.
Mouse-over the graphs for detailed values.
On the top right corner of the query insight window, click
Add to Board option.
The vizy options seen here are a subset of vizy options available on the board. Let’s find that in the Explore Vizy Options section.
Explore board options¶
Note
Once the vizy is added to the storyboard user can play with the data with various options available.
The chart is now added to the Board. Likewise, a user can pin all the insights to a Board. Addedd insight to the Board is called Vizy. A user can change the vizy layout, play it in presentation mode, remove it from the Board, download it as a pdf and much more. Let’s explore them one by one.

With a Table chart, Table Options gets enabled which allows the user to display or hide the rows and columns from the table.
Attention
Verify your results by displaying the ‘internal query’ to show the SQL generated by qbo to retrieve the results that you see on your screen. You can run this query on the data source to retrieve the values for the visualization. The trick to see internal query is by pressing the Alt + three dot icon.
Drill down and compare from charts¶
Drill down: Other than using the vizy customize functionality, it is also possible to refine the existing vizy output by using drill downs. To drill down, right click on the vizy and pertinent options for drill down will show up.
Example: Following vizy shows the spending analysis of different card networks.
To analyse AMEX card spending by age group of users, keep the cursor over AMEX bar and right click and go on Drill down AMEX and select age group.
Compare icon: Clicking on this icon will show a modal that lets a user configure and run variance analysis for the corresponding metric.
Attention
This compare icon will only be visible when the metric (aggregate) is configured in the variance analysis configuration otherwise this icon will not appear.
