Introduction¶

System Manual ¶

Insights Hub Business Intelligence enables the creation of custom visualizations from Insights Hub data, including IoT Time Series, Events, Integrated Data Lake (IDL) and Data Contextualization (DC).

The application is built on Tableau®, a leading platform in descriptive analytics and simplifies the creation of graphical data representations. These visualizations help users to explore patterns, analyze business performance and collaborate on data. Multiple visualizations are combined into a single shared dashboard, where users can apply filters to interact with the data and add comments directly on the dashboard.

Once the Insights Hub Business Intelligence is ordered from the Industrial IoT store, Insights Hub Business Intelligence Data and Insights Hub Business Intelligence applications are added to the Launchpad.

Insights Hub Business Intelligence Data¶

Before visualizing the data, the user needs to create a Tableau® data source using the Business Intelligence Data application. It works as an interface between Industrial IoT services and Tableau® server. The data sources are created from IoT Time Series, Integrated Data Lake, Events or Data Contextualization data sets.

After creating the data source in Insights Hub Business Intelligence Data, the user can build powerful data visualizations in Insights Hub Business Intelligence. This application is built on Tableau® which offers many possibilities to analyze and visualize data. It includes an intuitive interface to drag-and-drop variables onto the sheet to quickly produce charts and data summaries.

Example Visualization¶

This example displays a combination of IoT Time Series and Integrated Data Lake files to show the manufacturing costs associated with each production process, product type and order.

Each component of this dashboard functions as a filter, displaying data related to a specific attribute such as a product, order or time range.

Subscriptions¶

You can configure the subscriptions or data-driven alerts to receive notifications or the entire dashboard in your inbox.

This documentation focusses on how to configure data sources from Insights Hub using the Business Intelligence Data application. These published data sources are used in the Business Intelligence application to create the visualizations. For more information on how to create the visualizations for your use case, refer to Tableau® documentation Creating Visualizations.
