ReportPlus, our flagship iOS dashboard tool (available on iTunes), takes the idea of working with dashboards on an iOS device to the next level. You see, most mobile dashboard tools let you view a dashboard on the go, and maybe interact with it in a basic fashion - drill down into data, tweak formatting or adjust your viewing options. ReportPlus kicks it up a notch, and lets you build dashboards right on your iOS device.
Steve Jobs originally conceived the iPad as primarily a device on which to ‘consume’ data. As times have changed and iPads have gotten more powerful, users now expect to be able to ‘create’ content and data on them as well. With ReportPlus, it is now possible to perform the normally complicated tasks involved in developing dashboards.
ReportPlus guides the user through a number of key steps, utilizing a beautiful interface designed specifically for iOS:
Connect to data
- Use the app to connect directly to a huge number of data sources such as Excel, SharePoint, SQL, OData web services, and more). If you can login over the web, then ReportPlus can access them, safely and securely.
Pivot
- Once you have the data you need, you can create pivot tables, and start to filter and manipulate the data to tell your desired story.
Visualize
- ReportPlus offers a number of charting and visualization options - grids, bar and line charts, pie charts, trend lines, and more - you can even take advantage of conditional formatting. This is the step where you make your data look both eye-popping and attention-grabbing.
Dashboard
- Once your data is styled in the format you need, you can create your finished dashboard. Drag and drop widgets, and add text and labeling to create your perfect information display.
Share
- The best way to share your results is by using the iOS device itself. Hand it around at your meeting or sales demo, and you’ll quickly see that people love an interactive screen to play with. ReportPlus makes it easy for anyone to pick up a dashboard and get involved in presenting and shaping the data. If you require more formal sharing, we have that covered as well- ReportPlus dashboards can be shared via email, or exported to PowerPoint.
