Styling Up
Up until now, our focus has been more on loading data into QlikView and building
the data model than on actually visualizing the information. It's about time we
started working on the frontend of our document and present the data in the form of
a dashboard.
Besides presenting useful insights, a very important aspect of a business dashboard
is that it should be visually appealing. Our users will be accessing the document
every day, so we had better give them something nice to look at while they are
drinking their morning coffee.
Our course of action for now will be to take advantage of QlikView's customization
flexibility to style up our document, brand it with HighCloud's corporate identity,
and set up the general layout on which we will ultimately place our charts.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
• Setting up the workspace
• Understanding and changing the sheet's properties
• Managing our sheet object's appearance
• Using some of the most fundamental objects for selecting and filtering data
• Placing, resizing, and aligning the sheet objects
