Two weeks ago I showed you the leds map. This time I'll describe how it is done.

The leds map is basically a web page with a lot of java-script and Panorama applets which together bring the user a feeling of Ajax & DHTML based web site.
Look at the picture of the map in the previous post. The leds are simply Panorama applets which show Panorama views. Each view shows only one led. Using the Panorama SDK, I did the following:

• Take the led's value from the view and show it in the tooltip
• Take the led's color from the view and let the user filter the map according to the desired color(s)
• Take the led's view path and after clicking the view, show the related views (the departments' views)

The rest of it is just java-script games and tricks.
The leds map is a beautiful example of what you can do with imagination, thought and good will to give your customer a good working BI tool to work with.
