Viewing data in an Axiom Intelligence report

When you open an Axiom Intelligence report, it displays a configured set of Axiom Decision Support data using visualizations. Visualizations are items such as charts, tables, maps, matrices, and KPIs. The report may contain other visual elements for navigation, drilling, and filtering.

Depending on the report configuration, you can explore and filter the data using features such as:

  • Filtering: Data can be filtered in various ways.
    • You can use the Filters pane along the right-hand side of the screen to filter the entire report, the current report page, or the currently selected visualization. These filters may be saved in the report, or you can apply new filters as needed using the Filter Library panel.

    • Selecting a field in a visualization can filter other visualizations that use the same field.

    • The report may contain drop-down lists, slicers, or other visual elements that can be used to filter data.

  • Drilling: Visualizations can be associated with hierarchies, so that you can drill down the hierarchy to see the visualization data at different levels.

  • Bookmarks: You can use bookmarks to view designated areas of interest and apply predefined filters. Click the Show Report Bookmarks icon to show the Bookmarks panel, and then select from defined bookmarks (if present).
