Enterprise Class Group and project management features are now available with a single click to the Dashboard.

Download MockupTiger Wireframes. It is the best time saving application you will download for prototyping

Mockuptiger allows you to create any number of groups. Each member of your team can create their own groups. Groups is like the “Circles” feature in Google plus.
Groups can represent full company, it can represent individual small teams, it can represent individual clients of a web design agency or a small department of a big company
. It is a simple and very powerful concept. This power is available when you use Mockuptiger to build your wireframes and prototypes.

Groups is a very powerful and simple concept. If you are a web agency then every client and members working for them is part of a small group.

Did you ever imagine that you can simply punch some data
and create beautiful dashboards?

Dashboards that are static in nature?

So what is a static Dashboard?

A dashboard where you build the charts first and then punch data inside the charts. Later when you have new updates, you come back and edit the data directly. You can use these kind of simple dashboards without any technical knowledge.

They are so easy to use, just drag the charts from the library and then update the data.

One such mechanism of creating static dashboard is discussed here using Mockuptiger.

Tiger can do both wireframes and mockups (tigger,tiggr,tigr)

The below article will explain how to drill from a bar or pie chart to another chart or table.

From the tutorial above, we need to prepare the child portlet in order to receive the parameters for drill purpose.

This is true for charts or tables. The key to preparing a “child” or the “drill into” portlet is the use of the filters on the column.

You define filters using the “param” variable.

Consider the following Chart and the detail table

At this point both of the portlets are independent. Let us assume we need to drill from the above bar chart to the table below.

So when the user clicks on any of the bars it should be able to send the country name that it clicked and send that to the detail portlet.

Drilling into Bar or Pie chart involves few more steps than the just drilling between table to table.

1. Prepare the “Drill Into” or the child portlet.

We edit the Details portlet and add a filter condition for the country name

We added a condition to the existing SQL

“and country_name=’param<country,x>’

Click apply and it will show no records as it is now dependent portlet.

2. Note down the portlet id for the child portlet

When you select any portlet, the status bar at the bottom shows the Qlet ID. in our case, the qlet id is “q31″, for charts it starts with a “g”

3. Define the drill link from the parent chart

Edit the chart properties

There is the property “Drill into Portlet”

The default value will be ‘NO_DRILL’

Replace the value with the child’s ID followed by number 2,1

So in our case the string would be {q31,2,1}

Explanation of the format: When you click on the bar chart, the bar transmits two values, one is the actual number value (y axis) and the second is the country name (x axis). The number 2 represents the X-axis value and since in most of the drill you need the X axis value we tell it to transmit the second value first.

click apply and your drill is set.

When you click on the bar, the child portlet will automatically align just below the bar chart.

Similarly you can drill from a Pie chart as well. Other charts are not drillable.

Tiger can do both wireframes and mockups (tigger,tiggr,tigr)

Mockups become increasingly efficient when you have the ability to group objects and it becomes super powerful when you can edit the groups without ungrouping the objects

MockupTiger now has the ability to Edit groups Editable Mockup Groups/Symbols

When you group objects, the position is maintained with the child objects. You can stretch and drag the group objects. The child objects will enlarge or shrink based on the action you perform on the group. How do you edit the text of individual child Once you define the group, it becomes cumbersome to ungroup just for changing the text. For e.g If we want to change the text on the comment bubble, we simple double click on the bubble comment The UI will detect the mouse click and transfer the edit operation to the respective child.

The future Dashboard Software will just let you sketch dashboards and make it come alive!

Read how MockupTiger fixed the font rendering issue. You will also notice that with the fix, it is now possible to add any of your favourite font for wireframes. Why just limit to Comic Sans or Arial. Try the Google web fonts for instance.

Build beautiful Dashboard prototypes with MockupTiger Wireframes

Goodbye Excel! now I can have true charting prototypes with Wireframes and mockups from MockupTiger

MockupTiger when released had Clickable prototyping feature using the Text widgets

Now all the text widgets, icons can be linked. There is a new element called hotspot that you can overlay on any kind of object/widget to simulate Clicking or interactivity

Excel Dashboard is particularly useful as an administrative analysis tool. Managers and supervisors can utilise well constructed dashboards to help keep track of projects and activities, and to supervise team members. Many project based dashboards allow users to view lists of ongoing and completed projects, each of which has been afforded its own dashboard. These dashboard then provide information on the aims of the project, its level of progress and the team members involved. Other information can also include funding and deadline information.

Clearly this sort of application is invaluable to managers in large organisations and businesses. Dashboards have also been created to assist executives of this kind further, by allowing them to combine their scheduling information with their project management dashboards. This ensures that they are always aware of how much time they are devoting to each project, when their next meeting in relation to these projects will take place, and will of course ensure that they can keep track of their meetings and their schedule.
