The Visual Designer Interface enables you to build visuals and dashboards in Arcadia Enterprise.
The following illustration is a basic Visual Designer interface for dashboards.
Dashboard Preview pane shows the contents
of the dashboard: the Filters and the Visuals. At this stage, it is empty.
This pane also shows the editable Title and
Subtitle of the dashboard.
The Filter area houses the filter controls
that allow the user to dynamically change the dashboard presentation at run
