VISUALIZATION AND COMPARISON OF BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE REPORTS

摘要

A scale for a first business intelligence (BI) report is determined and filters over data properties of received BI data are applied. A first BI report is generated. A second BI report based on the same BI data is generated for comparing with the first BI report. For the generation of the second BI report, the same data properties are filtered as for the first BI report. The first and the second BI reports use a common scale and are displayed as two layers placed one on top of the other. In some aspects, multiple other BI reports are generated and visualized for comparative study together with the first and second BI reports as overlapping layers. These multiple BI reports share the same scale as defined for the first BI report and include filters for the same data properties as for the first BI report.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for performing a comparative study over business intelligence data, the method comprising:
generating a first business intelligence report based on filtered business intelligence data; determining one or more second filters for one or more data properties of the business intelligence data, to generate a second business intelligence report for comparison with the first business intelligence report, wherein the one or more data properties are filtered when generating the first business intelligence report; generating the second business intelligence report based on the one or more second filters, applied over the business intelligence data, and based on a scale, determined for the generation of the first business intelligence report; and displaying the first business intelligence report the second business intelligence report as two layers placed one over another.
