A Message from our CEO

Please let me invite you to a personalized cook’s tour of CenterView™ 3.0!  Drop us a line and we’ll contact you to arrange an individual demo of our breakthrough CenterView 3.0 release.  Just let us know how much time you’d like to spend—from 5 minutes to 5 hours, we’d love to visit with you. 

CenterView 3.0 is a huge leap forward for data visualization, performance dashboards and business performance management.  Incorporation of Ajax technology extends the eye-popping Corda data visualization experience.  We’ve continued our unrelenting push for ease-of-use in dashboard design and administration, while building on more than a decade of strength in industrial strength performance, scalability and security.  With CenterView 3.0, we’ve also pushed deeply into the new frontier of enabling action to solve a problem once it becomes apparent through the traditional purpose of dashboard monitoring—you’ll love the new alerting and collaboration features of CenterView 3.0.  You’ll also love our new data snapshot capacity which facilitates trend analysis.  With CenterView 3.0, Corda enriches the philosophy of universal data access and extreme implementation speed—for example as embodied in our patented Datafunnel™ technology—with sophisticated new portal integration capability.

Thank you for making Corda the industry leader in data visualization and performance dashboards.  We would truly love to spend some time brainstorming with each of you about the future.

Warmest regards,
John

Corda Announces the Release of PopChart, OptiMap, and Highwire 7.2

 

Product Announcements

CenterView 3.0 and PopChart®, OptiMap, and Highwire 7.2 (developer tools) have been released!  We wish to thank our customers, partners, integrators, and prospects for providing excellent product feedback and helping us deliver a feature-packed release.

From a high level, we’ve focused on making CenterView better fit the category of “Performance Dashboard.”  Here are just a handful of changes made to an already powerful platform:

  • CenterView now integrates into standard portal environments, allowing you to see date and make decisions within the context of other company information.
  • Our charts and graphs are now delivered via AJAX for a smooth delivery.
  • We’ve added alertsthe ability for you to be notified when a metric falls above or below a desired level, keeping you aware of the pulse of your business.
  • You can now collaborate via annotations to KPIs to call out significant events or add more context to certain data elements.
  • CenterView also has the ability to take you from data in the dashboard directly to the application that provided the data, making it extremely easy to take action on the items that most need action.
  • Many customers requested we allow them to view historical data sets on data sets where historical data does not exist. We’ve delivered the ability to take data snapshots, which does exactly this.
  • We’ve made it easier to create the data visualizations you need to communicate performance metrics.

 For our developer tools, we’ve focused on performance and flexibility.

  • Our graph generation engine is our fastest-performing engine yet, creating the most complex graphs and charts
  • Highwire supports new HTML elements
  • Charts and graphs have new properties, allowing for the prettiest, most useful, and most flexible graphics to date
  • We’ve provided new data visualizations

In this article by Stephen Swoyer he shows how "The Dashboard Specialist" Corda answers this need with CenterView.  Read the entire article about the new CenterView 3.0 release at:  TDWI Article

Tech Tip

 

In CenterView 3.0 we have added a snapshot database that greatly enhances what CenterView can do. The snapshot is a database that CenterView can write data to. It can save data that you have pulled from other databases or files to be used for trending or it can be used to capture data for annotations. You can set up CenterView so a user can add a note to a graph or anywhere on the screen, for example, to change a title. Then using the snapshot database you can write that information and the user-entered data will be stored for everyone to see when they view the dashboard.

The How-To dashboard that ships with CenterView has a couple great examples of how to do this. It starts with a graph that contains a textbox.  That textbox text is set with a variable using server-script. Then there is a text entry box and button where the user enters the data and clicks the button. The server-script listens for the request.lastclicked to be that button. It then writes the data in the text entry field to the database and then pulls that text back to set the variable that is setting the text in the graph.

The How-To dashboard contains a very simple example of annotations but it effectively illustrates the power and simplicity of annotations in CenterView 3.0.
