Chapter 8. Building Dashboards

It's now time to populate our document with charts, tables, and other data visualization objects.

We will first look at the various types of QlikView users, and what they typically look for in a QlikView document. After that we will look at the different chart options available, along with a few other sheet objects, and use them to extend our dashboard. We will also take a more in-depth look at the ways in which we can create basic calculations in the various objects.

Specifically, in this chapter you will learn:

• The three basic types of QlikView users, and how best to cater to their needs

• The various charting options available in QlikView

• Other sheet objects that can be used to add interactivity to our QlikView documents

• How to create basic calculations

Let's get started!
