Today’s IT Issues Resources are growing
– Numbers– Size– Volume of information
Reports are growing Fewer Analysts to develop and use Need
– a capability to view and analyze a large quantity of resources
– a quick and easy development process– A report to focus attention on the issues that
require action
Reports that Focus

What is a Tile Chart? Technically, a rectangular tree map
– Heat Map– Tile Map– Heat Chart
SAS calls it a Tile Chart

What is a Tile Chart? Technically, a rectangular tree map Designed to:
– View a large quantity of data– Visualize hierarchical data– Show many levels of detail– Use limited visual space– Limit use of labeling– Use data tips or “mouse over” capability– Link to other tile charts, graphs, tables, or Web sites
Accessed through a Web browser or portal
The Original IdeaThe chart is designed to view a large quantity of hierarchical based data in a limited space.
Each unique category combination is represented by a rectangular “tile” with size and color determined by response variables.
These tiles are placed in a hierarchal arrangement.
One version created by smartmoney.com is called the Map of the Market, which visualizes the stock market. (www.smartmoney.com/map-of-the-market)

What does it Look Like?Hierarchical organization
Current level of hierarchy is the only label

What does it Look Like?A color-gradient legend provides a key to the value of the tile colors
A data tip with detail information

Drill-Down Hierarchy Here is a link to a stored process with prompts:
http://sasbi.demo.sas.com:8080/SASStoredProcess/do?_program=/BIP%20Tree/Daily_CPU&Machine={&1}&date={&2}&_odsstyle=ITRMDefault
The drill-down hierarchy passes prompt values from the current tile to a stored process.

Creating a Stored ProcessCreating a stored process makes the underlying code
available for execution from other SAS applications

What Is a Dashboard?Dashboards are information delivery tools: used to graphically display key metrics within an
organization. primarily used as a way to summarize information for
decision support purposes.
Corporate dashboards have existed for many years, as has the ability to create them using various SAS software products.

Dashboard support many types of gages and graphs.
Dashboardscan display
one or two
analysis variables
at a time.
Display TypesDifferent display types are used for visually displaying information on a dashboard.

Configuration IconsFurther customize the indicator by configuring: links to other dashboards, graphs or stored processes alerts gauge properties.
Not all display types enableyou to access each of thedifferent configuration icons.
