Getting Started with Sprucely.io Dashboards
Sprucely.io is a flexible platform service that automates your data insights pipeline. It takes data from a multitude of sources and creates interactive decision intelligence to share or integrate with your services. In seconds.
Central to the concept of Sprucely is a modern web architecture and a platform service that define, store and serve datasets and dashboards. You can see Sprucely as the engine that controls the data pipeline and all the associated infrastructure. It will seamlessly serve users, your Web pages and your document resources with the data intelligence reports that you decide to share.
But Sprucely is a lot more. It automatically generates data intelligence based on the context you provide. It is an ecosystem where you can use Connector applications to integrate with your favourite productivity tools such as Microsoft Powerpoint. Or you can create your own integration to Sprucely using REST APIs.
The journey starts with a New Flow, the guide that automatically generate dashboards from your data. Here's how it works...
Select Your Data Source
The flow starts by defining the source of data. You can import into Sprucely a local data file (either for storage in the Cloud or On-premise) or reference data that can be directly downloaded from a regular HTTP request (for example JSON data that is served dynamically by a separate system).
When you define a stream, no additional storage is required in Sprucely and any request to view the generated dashboard will directly pull the latest data from this defined data source.
Configure Your Data Source
If your data source is not pre-defined in a fixed database format (for example when you import a spreadsheet document), Sprucely will automatically analyze your data and auto-detect the most suitable region of the spreadsheet to import.
Sprucely will present you with the suggested data region and column headers of the data to import, but before proceeding will allow you to make any modifications if desired.
Define Your Priorities
In order for Sprucely to generate high quality decision intelligence, you may optionally give it a few cues about which of the data columns are more or less relevant to the specific report you want to generate.
This input allow Sprucely to both optimize the data insights and generate a report that contain information more relevant to your needs automatically.
Customize Your Dashboard
Sprucely will auto-generate a dashboard for you based on the data source and the preference cues you have provided. It's easy to tailor the dashboard to your needs with the visual editor.
Using simple drag'n drop actions combined with layout widgets you can modify the dashboard layout exactly the way you want. You can also customize both function and style accordingly for all the widgets in the dashboard.
Aside from supporting embedded charts with interactive cross-filtering, The Sprucely data pipeline also allow you to reference input from multiple data sources at once. This allows you to create more complex dashboards with views from multiple data sources combined into one unified report.
Share Your Dashboard
Having stored the dataset and dashboard either on Cloud or in your own network using the On-premise connector, you can now share the dashboard directly via e-mail to your audience.
You may also share your data intelligence reports from the Sprucely platform through one of the many integration options provided, i e embedding them into your Web pages or presentations and documents using one of the Connector applications we provide.
