Permissions
Similar to Atlas products, Atlas BI offers different levels of permissions. These permissions can be modified under the Manage tab, in the Role drop-down.
- Administrator= account management, report management, and
viewing - Contributor= report manager and viewing only
- Viewer= viewing only
Note
By default, the only people who can access AtlasBI are those who have both Staff Manager and Customization Manager access. Other users can be granted permissions in Manage option once you are logged into AtlasBI.
If a staff user currently has Staff Manager and Customization Manager access, Atlas BI will default that users permissions to Administrator upon the first login.
Filters
There are many different filters that allow users to manipulate the data that appears in the reports.
Date Range Filters
Each Dashboard(e.g. Reading Room Circulation By Hour) can have several reports such as data tables, graphs, and/or total counts. The date range for the Dashboard can be modified using the Dashboard Parameters. This can be changed by clicking on the (
) icon in the upper right of the Dashboard. The default is 365 days.
The date range for the graphs is determined by the timeline slider. The timeline slider allows you to easily view data from multiple different ranges within the Dashboard Parameters. For example, if you want to easily view the reports for Q1 2017, Q2 2017, and then Q1 through Q4 2017 data without having to change the Dashboard parameters. There are two ways to filter the date parameters on the timeline slider. First, you can click and drag the range on the timeline. Second, you can select the range by clicking on the flag icon (
) on the range filter and then selecting the specific date range.
Results Filter
For any grid, pie chart or tree map (multi-colored boxes sized by amount), you can click on a section/row to narrow the results. Some charts offer a multiple-select filter option. Filters can be set by clicking on the filter icon next to the title of each graph. Filters set on a graph will show up in the upper right-hand corner like the picture shown below.
Sorting
Table/grids can be sorted in ascending or descending order by right-clicking on the headers of any column and choosing the applicable assortment.
Exporting
Reports can be exported to a PDF, image, or excel spreadsheet by clicking on the export icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Dashboard. When exporting to a spreadsheet, you will be able to fully manipulate the data in Excel (e.g. create pivot tables). You can also export the individual chart images
