Abstract

A first data visualization based on first and second sets of data items is provided on a first dashboard. A second data visualization based on third and fourth sets of data items is provided on a second dashboard. Each data item of the first and third sets has at least a first tag. Each data item of the second and fourth sets does not have the first tag. A selection of the first tag is received. In response to the selection, a third data visualization based on the first set of data items and not based on the second set of data items is provided in place of the first data visualization and a fourth data visualization based on the third set of data items and not based on the fourth set of data items is provided in place of the second data visualization.

First claim

1 - 12 . (canceled)

13 . A computer program product for managing a plurality of dashboards, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
providing, on a first dashboard of the plurality of dashboards, a first data visualization based on a first set of data items and further based on a second set of data items, each data item of the first set of data items having at least a first tag and each data item of the second set of data items not having the first tag; providing, on a second dashboard of the plurality of dashboards, a second data visualization based on a third set of data items and further based on a fourth set of data items, each data item of the third set of data items having at least the first tag and each data item of the fourth set of data items not having the first tag; receiving a selection of the first tag; providing, in response to the selection of the first tag, a third data visualization in place of the first data visualization, the third data visualization based on the first set of data items and further not based on the second set of data items; and providing, in response to the selection of the first tag, a fourth data visualization in place of the second data visualization, the fourth data visualization based on the third set of data items and further not based on the fourth set of data items.

14 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:
generating the first data visualization by processing, using a first widget of the first dashboard, the first set of data items and the second set of data items; generating the second data visualization by processing, using a second widget of the second dashboard, the third set of data items and the fourth set of data items; generating, in response to the selection of the first tag, the third data visualization by processing, using the first widget of the first dashboard, the first set of data items; and generating, in response to the selection of the first tag, the fourth data visualization by processing, using the second widget of the second dashboard, the third set of data items.

15 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:
obtaining, from a first database and by a first application, the first set of data items and the second set of data items; obtaining, from a second database and by a second application, the third set of data items and the fourth set of data items; generating, using the first application, the first data visualization by processing the first set of data items and the second set of data items; generating, using the second application, the second data visualization by processing the third set of data items and the fourth set of data items; filtering out, using the first application and in response to the selection of the first tag, the second set of data items from the first set of data items; filtering out, using the second application and in response to the selection of the first tag, the fourth set of data items from the third set of data items; generating, using the first application and subsequent to the filtering out the second set of data items, the third data visualization by processing the first set of data items; and generating, using the second application and subsequent to the filtering out the fourth set of data items, the fourth data visualization by processing the third set of data items.

16 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the first dashboard is part of the first application and the second dashboard is part of the second application.

17 . A system for managing a plurality of dashboards, the system comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor circuit in communication with the memory, wherein the at least one processor circuit is configured to perform a method comprising:
providing, on a first dashboard of the plurality of dashboards, a first data visualization based on a first set of data items and further based on a second set of data items, each data item of the first set of data items having at least a first tag and each data item of the second set of data items not having the first tag;
providing, on a second dashboard of the plurality of dashboards, a second data visualization based on a third set of data items and further based on a fourth set of data items, each data item of the third set of data items having at least the first tag and each data item of the fourth set of data items not having the first tag;
receiving a selection of the first tag;
providing, in response to the selection of the first tag, a third data visualization in place of the first data visualization, the third data visualization based on the first set of data items and further not based on the second set of data items; and
providing, in response to the selection of the first tag, a fourth data visualization in place of the second data visualization, the fourth data visualization based on the third set of data items and further not based on the fourth set of data items.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the method further comprises:
generating the first data visualization by processing, using a first widget of the first dashboard, the first set of data items and the second set of data items; generating the second data visualization by processing, using a second widget of the second dashboard, the third set of data items and the fourth set of data items; generating, in response to the selection of the first tag, the third data visualization by processing, using the first widget of the first dashboard, the first set of data items; and generating, in response to the selection of the first tag, the fourth data visualization by processing, using the second widget of the second dashboard, the third set of data items.

19 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the method further comprises:
obtaining, from a first database and by a first application, the first set of data items and the second set of data items; obtaining, from a second database and by a second application, the third set of data items and the fourth set of data items; generating, using the first application, the first data visualization by processing the first set of data items and the second set of data items; generating, using the second application, the second data visualization by processing the third set of data items and the fourth set of data items; filtering out, using the first application and in response to the selection of the first tag, the second set of data items from the first set of data items; filtering out, using the second application and in response to the selection of the first tag, the fourth set of data items from the third set of data items; generating, using the first application and subsequent to the filtering out the second set of data items, the third data visualization by processing the first set of data items; and generating, using the second application and subsequent to the filtering out the fourth set of data items, the fourth data visualization by processing the third set of data items.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the first dashboard is part of the first application and the second dashboard is part of the second application.

21 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the providing the first data visualization includes displaying the first data visualization to a user, wherein the providing the second data visualization includes displaying the second data visualization to the user, wherein the selection of the first tag is a sele
