Analysis Dashboards
Visualise your analysis results through interactive charts, maps, and tables
What Are Dashboards?
Dashboards transform your analysis results into visual insights. Create multi panel layouts that combine different visualisation types to explore your findings systematically. Example: A policy analyst creates a dashboard showing:- Time series chart: Policy mentions over time
- Geographic map: Regional distribution of issues
- Data table: Detailed results with filtering
- Distribution chart: Topic breakdown by source
Dashboard Types
Data Tables
Perfect for: Reviewing individual results and detailed explorationFeatures:
- Advanced Filtering: Filter by any field, value, or combination
- Sorting & Grouping: Organise results by multiple criteria
- Column Customisation: Show/hide fields based on your focus
- Export Options: Download filtered results in multiple formats
Time Series Charts
Perfect for: Understanding how things change over timeChart Types:
- Line Charts: Track continuous trends and patterns
- Bar Charts: Compare volumes and counts across time periods
- Area Charts: Show cumulative effects and proportions
- Multi-Series: Compare multiple trends simultaneously
Geographic Maps
Perfect for: Understanding geographic patterns and relationshipsMap Features:
- Point Mapping: Show locations mentioned in documents
- Choropleth Maps: Colour regions by data intensity
- Cluster Analysis: Group nearby events and activities
- Route Visualisation: Show movement and connection patterns
Distribution Charts
Perfect for: Understanding proportions and distributionsChart Types:
- Pie Charts: Show proportions of different categories
- Histograms: Display data distributions and patterns
- Bar Charts: Compare counts across different groups
- Scatter Plots: Show relationships between variables
Knowledge Graphs (Beta)
Perfect for: Exploring connections between entities and conceptsGraph Types:
Beta Feature: Knowledge graphs are currently in development. Basic network visualisation is available with limited functionality.
- Entity Networks: People, organisations, and their relationships
- Topic Maps: How concepts and themes connect
- Citation Networks: How documents reference each other
- Influence Maps: Power and influence relationships
- Mapping political coalitions and opposition groups
- Understanding organisational relationships
- Tracking information flow between sources
- Identifying key influencers and decision makers
Creating Dashboards
Default Layout
New analysis runs automatically get a default dashboard with:- Data table showing all results
- Time series chart of analysis activity
- Distribution chart of schema results
Custom Panels
Add panels to focus on specific aspects: Geographic Panel: Add a map for location-based analysis Knowledge Graph Panel: Show relationship networks Custom Chart Panel: Focus on specific metrics or trends Filtered Table Panel: Show subset of results with specific criteriaPanel Configuration
Each panel can be independently configured: Filters: Show only relevant data in each panel Display Options: Customise colours, labels, and formatting Interaction Settings: Enable click through and drill down features Update Frequency: Control how often panels refreshDashboard Patterns
