What are Views?

While Data Functions allow you to build powerful, reusable analyses, Views let you take the next step by combining multiple finalized Data Functions onto a single, customizable dashboard grid.

Think of a View as your personalized reporting dashboard within Decode.

The Purpose: Comparison and Overview​

Views are designed to help you:

  • Compare Results: Place related Data Functions side-by-side to easily compare metrics across different segments, time periods, or scenarios (e.g., view profitability for Region A next to profitability for Region B).
  • Get a Holistic Overview: Combine key functions representing different aspects of your business (e.g., premium summaries, claim trends, loss ratios) onto one screen for a comprehensive snapshot.
  • Save Common Layouts: Create and save specific arrangements of functions that you frequently need to consult together.

How They Work​

  • Composition: Views are composed of one or more Final Data Functions. You cannot add Draft functions to a View.
  • Grid Layout: You arrange the selected functions visually on a flexible grid, controlling their position and size.
  • Combined Parameters: When viewing a saved View, the right sidebar conveniently aggregates the variable parameters from all the functions included in that View, allowing you to control their inputs from one place.
  • Independent Execution: Each function within the View still runs its own analysis pipeline when triggered.

Views provide a simple yet powerful way to organize and interact with the outputs of your various Data Functions, turning individual analyses into a cohesive dashboard experience.
