Building visuals using the Discover Lite tool is a simple process of adding hierarchies, elements, and measures to the drop zones from the Dimensions, Elements, and Measures trees. Essentially, you can build a lite visual in two steps:
- Add at least one hierarchy to the drop zones from the Dimensions panel (green arrows below).
- Add at least one measure to the drop zones from the Measures panel (yellow arrow).
An alternative to step 1 is to add selected elements from within a hierarchy, from the Elements panel. You can add multiple hierarchies, elements, measures, and custom formulas and lists to the drop zones. You can also select the visualization type that you want to use to present your data, dynamically interact with your visual, and add forecasting to your visual.
These steps can be performed in practically any order or combination. This flexibility afforded by Pyramid is designed to support on-the-fly data analysis, so that you can explore your data model spontaneously, without the need for planning or following complex steps. This approach gives you free rein to easily discover interesting trends in your data.
