Perspectives

Perspectives are predefined layout variants of each individual business view.

Up to 3 perspectives may be available for a business view. Each perspectives approaches the underlying business view functionality in a different way.

Dashboard Page
A perspective providing data overview via a set of dashboard InfoObjects.

Notes on the use of perspectives:

  • See topic 'What Do You Want to Do?' for an end user oriented explanation of Valuemation user interface structure.
  • All business views have at least the Work Page perspective. Home and Dashboard perspectives are optional.
  • When switching between business views, Valuemation tries to open the new business view on the same type of perspective. If the newly opened business view does not provide the perspective type, Work Page perspective gets opened by default.
  • See topic 'InfoObjects Flexibility' to learn about rearranging InfoObjects.

Toggling between Perspectives

With the business view of your choice selected, click the perspective icons in the toolbar to toggle between available perspectives.

Perspectives Customization

Predefined perspectives can be customized at two levels:

Valuemation administrators can perform full customization and administration of business views, InfoObjects and Smart Tiles. Customization at this level also determines which perspectives will be available for individual business views.
