Intellicus: Power To Understand Your Business

Reporting Enhancements

Repositioning Legends in Charts

Intellicus charts use legends to help readers decode the charted data. The legends are placed to help comprehend the chart in the most effective way.
With enhanced UI of Intellicus 18.1, you have a great deal of flexibility to select the position of the legends for charts in Smart, OLAP and Ad hoc reports.
You can choose to select the position (Top, Bottom, Left, Right and Default) of the legends in the chart as shown in the image below.

A sample chart with the legends placed in the left is shown in the below image.

Auto-truncate X-Axis and Legend Labels in Charts

You can now choose to trim some characters of X-Axis labels automatically so that the chart gets enough space to render.
This can be customized in the respective ICT file to enable or disable the auto truncate feature, truncate either the initial or trailing characters and specify the maximum percentage height for X-axis labels.
Below is a sample ICT file (\Intellicus\ReportEngine\templates\charts\amchart_javascript\Default) with the specified configurations:
For X-Axis,
categoryAxis.disableEllipsisInLabels = true;
categoryAxis.ellipsisPosition = "suffix/prefix";
categoryAxis.maxHeight = "25%";

truncate_x

For Legends,
legend.disableEllipsisInLabels = false;
legend.ellipsisPosition = "suffix";
legend.maxHeight = "40%";
legend.maxWidth = "25%";
//legend.maxCharPerLegend = 20; //If this is uncommented, then maxHeight and maxWidth will not be respected

User-defined Chart Axes Titles

Intellicus allows you to customize titles for X and Y axes for Ad hoc, Smart and OLAP reports. This feature provides description on the axis titles, for example Sales Amount in USD.
The titles are automatically created based on caption of selected X and Y axes fields if left unspecified. You can specify up to 50 characters for these titles.
An example where Y-Axis title is described is shown in the image below:

Micro Charts in Counter Chart

A micro-chart or a miniature version of a chart can be inserted in a Counter Chart on Smart Report. To quickly visualize the trend of measure values (y series) against dimension (x axis), you can choose a micro chart inside counter chart of a smart report.
The below example shows a micro-chart in Counter on dashboard. You can optionally choose to select an aggregation function like sum, average, count etc. to calculate the field value on the y-axis.

Micro Charts in Grids

Micro-Charts are miniature versions of actual charts, designed to help understand complex relationships between data in grids for Smart and iHTML format. The Micro-Charts can be used to quickly visualize the trend of a metric at a glance without having to know any additional detail.
The following micro-charts are supported in Intellicus:

Bullet Chart in Grids
Bullet Chart show a single, primary measure (for example, Sales Value) and compare that measure to one or more other measures to enrich its meaning (for example, compared to a Target Sales value). It displays it in the context of qualitative ranges of performance, such as sales value below or above the average target sales.
The below micro chart example shows the total sales displaying those products that achieved or missed their target.

Data Bar in Grids
Data Bar represents the current grid cell value as column. The column width is determined with respect to the maximum value of that column. It can have a base value from which column is drawn. If value is lesser than the base value, then column is drawn on the left side of the base value with a different color and for values greater than the base value, chart is drawn on the right side of the base value.
This feature is already available for Ad hoc reports in Intellicus.
