Develop your dashboard using the HTML Composer in Developer Studio. You can create components from existing WebFOCUS reports or new reports that you create specifically for your analytical dashboard. When creating components (graphs) in your dashboard, you must use data sources in VISDIS (*.txt) format.

This chapter covers tasks and options that are available for all Visual Discovery components (unless otherwise noted). For tasks and options that are graph-type specific, see Visualization Components: Descriptions and Usage.
