Dashboard Best Practices (cont.)

Use Colors, Labels, And Borders To Identify Data
Types
To

make it easier for you or other members of your organization to maintain
Dashboards models, it is a good idea to use colors, labels, and borders to identify
cells or ranges of cells in the spreadsheet and to hint at their use.


53

SAP BO DashboardsDesign Best Practices

Dashboard Run Time (Initial and Load)


55

Dashboard Best Practices

Understanding dashboard initialization time
Six main factors to consider

1. Size of the dashboard flash file (.SWF)
2. Number of components
3. Number of Excel cells used
4. Amount of Excel calculations used
5. Number and size of bindings to Excel ranges

6. Number of queries or connections set to refresh during the
Initializing … message (waits until the last one completes)


56


Run queries after dashboard has initialized
Do not run queries during Initializing … message
 Edit query  Usage Options
 Deselect Refresh Before
Components Are Loaded

Run queries after Initializing … message
 Add a Query Refresh Button canvas
 Select queries to run
 In Trigger Behavior, select
Refresh After Components
Are Loaded


57


Where to define calculations
Define

your calculations in the universe layer, so they are run on the server side
for best performance
Any

calculations defined in the Excel layer run client side in the Flash player and
will cause more performance overhead on load and when the spreadsheet
changes at runtime
o If you have to, use Excel for some simple calculations

o Avoid any functions that refer to multiple cells or a range
– SUM, COUNT, SUMIF, COUNTIF, INDEX, MATCH, HLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, etc..

o Avoid repeating logic in a cell, as it will need to run twice
– =IF(SUM(A2:A100)=1000,1000, SUM(A2:A100))

o Avoid chaining cells together when you don’t need to
