Description:Composite, interactive data display. Selection made in form automatically updates data displayed in chart and table.
VC Tips:The form component provides the frame for this pattern. Set this form’s frame style to “Primary frame” and Send to Back ( ). Set frame style for both chart and table to “Transparent”.
Show only titlebar (with a meaningful title) in top form component; show only toolbar in chart and table components.
If a single drop-down menu is the selection mechanism (as shown above), no “Submit” button is necessary – menu selection alone triggers update (menu field’s action type is “Submit” in Control Properties). Otherwise, use an explicit “Submit” button.
If chart units are not obvious from context, display them in framing component’s titlebar, or in chart legend, as needed.
Note: VC does not yet allow formatting of numeric units (e.g., changing “2000” to read “2,000” or “2k”) in forms, tables or charts (axis values, etc.). This is a known issue and a resolution is forthcoming.
Pattern xx: Dynamic Form (Chart + Table)

FI exampleBlocked Order List
Support for the credit manager to decide whether sales orders that are blocked due to a failed credit limit check should be released or canceled. Combines transactional data from ERP Financials with BI / customer data and KPIs to make better decisions. Usually this data is spread across multiple systems and it is hard for the credit manager to collect all the data needed.Final step in the process would be the release / cancel of an order.

The Need for Rich User Experiences
Large data sets are very hard to interact with and visualize
High error rates due poor information architecture
Process abandonment due to poor Experience design
Slow and unresponsive HTML pages
Customer/Employee/Business Partner frustration translates to lack of loyalty

Summary
Execution not aligned with corporate strategy – SAP focuses on the traditional business user (non-traditional user of analytics).
Business insights disconnected from the business process – SAP establishes analytic composites as integral part of its solutions offering.
SAP executes on delivering packaged analytics to drive down TCO and cost of deployment foe Analytics.
Macromedia Flex brings life to enterprise data through enhanced usability, richness, and convenience.
