Easy Analytics is a secure, Cloud Hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) based Business Intelligence (BI) platform powered by Microsoft’s Power BI which allows you to import data from multiple data sources into a workspace for detailed analyses. Using security roles to create users, you can invite users into the platform to view specific information within your company organogram\client base. You have the ability to apply your corporate branding to the portal so that your users can easily identify with your organization’s Corporate Identity. Data is very easily made available in both mobile and web browsers. Administrators of the platform can also run in-depth analyses of who has been interfacing with the data.
When you log in to Easy Analytics you are presented with the Dashboard/Report which is illustrated in the diagram below,
1. Please use the login details provide to you by support via email.
2. Navigate between the Dashboard, Organogram, Report, Plug-ins and Session menus
3. The System Settings in where you have the ability to add/remove users, SMTP details and update the main contact details. All system related notices/information will be sent to the user defined in this section.
The information within Easy Analytics is interactive, allowing you to mouse over graphs to view details and allowing you to filter out data related to what has been clicked, this can be seen in 1 in the illustration below. Note should any element be clicked, the entire workspace will be filtered accordingly.
Please note that there are different functions you can make use of in each of the graphs presented with Easy Analytics, please refer to 2 above, icons are explained from left to right below,
- Drill up/down
- Expand all down one level in the hierarchy
- Shows you the slices applied to the data you are viewing
- Focus Mode: Allows you to view the graph in full screen

- Show data: Which will show you only the graph you have selected with its associated data
- Spotlight: Highlights the graph/tile you are viewing and dims out the rest
- Sorting options
- The filter option marked by 3 above, is to create a specific view set of your data. As can be seen, the amount of data which can be input can become quite large and complicated to work with. This feature allows you to streamline the data making its way into the dashboard/report.
In this section, system administrators have the ability to add nodes into the platform. Nodes created can either be parent nodes or follow a hierarchy, these nodes can be defined to make sense to you and/or your client’s business. The structure can be changed at any time.
