Overview

The next section explains how to use the Analytics module as part of the IriusRisk Analytics module solution.

By default, a set of dashboards will be included and shared with the users in order to have first insights and reporting for IriusRisk data exploitation.

These dashboards belong to an admin user called defaultIriusRisk and all the content is shared with a DeaultIriusRisk group. Therefore, every single user that wants to see the dashboards has to belong to this group.

Sign In to Analytics Module

In order to have access to the Analytics module, our Customer Success team will contact you to discuss adding this module to your current IriusRisk license.

For further information about how to request access, please see the following article: Accessing the Advanced Analytics Module

Once the environment is ready, the user will be shown the dashboard panel:

 

 

Working with Analytics module elements

Basically, three main elements that we have to deal with are:

• Queries

• Widgets

• Dashboards

Queries

Once we have a connection defined (aka datasources) it is possible to create queries in order to obtain all the data needed to be included in our reports:

Creating a new query is as simple as visiting the Query menu option:

 

Widgets

With the query results, it is time to create a widget that will form the dashboards.

Dashboard

As soon we have defined a new widget, it is possible to include it as part of dashboards. We can create a new dashboard and include several widgets in it:

Default Dashboards

By default, IriusRisk has deployed a set of dashboards that exploit the IriusRisk database:

 

These dashboards can be grouped into two categories:

• Main dashboard: dashboards that are self info contained (they do not depend on passed filters):

  • Program Overview

  • Risk Overview

• Child Dashboards: those that depend on other dashboards and are filtered by the information provided from the main dashboard.

  • Developer Dashboard

  • Compliance Dashboard

  • Portfolio Control Detail

Below, it is possible to see a conceptual map of the different dashboards with their widgets and dependencies between them:

Working with predefined queries

The customer does not need to know anything about the IriusRisk operational data scheme to extract knowledge. We need to hide the complexity of our relational database by creating intermediate queries that can be reused to create a wide variety of self-service widgets.
