Adding a schematic to a dashboard

You can add schematics to your IBM® Cognos Analytics with Watson report.

About this task

Before you can import a schematic, author it first. For more information, see Authoring schematics - tutorial.

Schematics are visualizations that can map data directly onto an arbitrary graphic representation. Schematics can, for example be floor plans, seating arrangements, mechanical drawings, or schematic geographical representations.

Procedure

  1. Create a dashboard.
  2. Click Visualizations Visualization icon > Custom > Custom visuals.
    If there are no custom visuals available, then you can add a custom visual through the Add a custom visual button.
  3. Select the schematic that you want to use.
  4. A schematics package can contain several different SVGs. The first SVG is displayed. You can select other SVGs from the schematic package from Properties > Schematics > SVG reference.
