Using SAP Visual Intelligence


Using SAP Visual Intelligence - Step by Step

Let's see how to create a chart with Visual Intelligence.

 1. Connect to your data source

If your data source is:

- RDBMS: Enter your credentials, connect to the database server, browse and select a data source.
  If you are connecting to SAP HANA, you select a view and cube to build your chart.
- Flat file: Choose the columns to be acquired, trimmed, or shown and hidden.
- Universe: Enter your universe credentials, connect to the Central Management Server repository, and select a universe to build your chart.


2. View and organize the columns and attributes.

The data acquired can be viewed as columns or as facets. You can organize the data display to make chart building easier by doing the following:

- Create filters and hide unneeded columns.
- Create measures, time and geography hierarchies.
- Clean and organize the data in columns using a range of manipulation tools.
- Create columns with formulas using a wide selection of available functions.

3. Choose a chart type.

You can build charts using:
- Split view that shows the dataset and the chart being built.
- Visualize view to work in a totally graphical environment when building your chart.
The selection of charts is arranged by family at the top of the Visualization pane.


In the following images is shown how to choose a chart:







4. Build your chart

You can build charts in three ways:

- Using the Chart feeder panel to the left of the Visualization Pane.
- Directly on the chart body area by dragging measures and attributes onto the chart body.
- Directly on an attribute: Select an attribute or measure, click the arrow to the right of the object name and select Make a new chart with or Add to current chart from the context menu.



5. Save your document

Name and save your document that includes your charts. It is stored locally in the application folder under Documents in your profile path.

6. Share your data or chart

You can do the following with your data, chart, or both:

- Share your chart
- Export your dataset to a file
- Publish your data to SAP HANA as an analytic view
- Publish your data and charts to Streamwork

SAP HANA Introduction
