CONNECTED INSIGHTS IN A BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE APPLICATION

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for determining and displaying connected insights based on a connection between data visualizations. A computer detects the second data visualization created on a coherent exploration path with the first data visualization. The computer determines, from first insights in first date frame for the first data visualization, top first insights that are interesting to the second data visualization. The computer determines, for respective ones of the top first insights, calculated fields representing states of data. The computer adds the calculated fields to a query to obtain a second data frame for the second data visualization. The computer determines second insights in the second data frame, where the second insights include data facts drawn from the connection between the first data visualization and the second data visualization. The computer displays the second insights along with the second data visualization.
