This article outlines some information on Data Limitations when trying to represent Big Data in a Dashboard. This is an industry challenge

Representing Big Data in a Dashboard can be troublesome.

There are limitations as to what can be presented in a Dashboard and the Web Browser before performance is effected. 

To provide an example, if you have a high number of sales transactions, and you are running a Sales Dashboard for a 3 year period, this could be a significant amount of data to fetch and represent in a Dashboard. 

At this present moment, the engineering team at Plus Software limits the amount of data that can be represented in a Dashboard to 100 MB. 

Other points:
  1. If you are running a Dashboard and the amount of data being fetched is greater that 100 MB, you will receive an error message.
  2. If it's a date driven Dashboard, you can try limiting the date range that you are running the Dashboard for.
  3. If the date range is already limited, then contact us to discuss what other options you have in running the Dashboard.
