1. Accessing the TI Dashboard

The TI Dashboard is GSCi's interactive graph exploration tool. Access it by navigating to /ti-dashboard from the header's Data Hub menu, or via the TI Dashboard card on the Data Hub home page.

The page opens with a hero section at the top followed by a search bar that lets you find specific graphs by keyword. Below the search, you will see the Featured Graphs section — a curated set of editorially highlighted graphs that surface the most important market intelligence visualisations.

The TI Dashboard is distinct from the entity page Market Data tab in that it provides a standalone browsing experience for graph content, independent of any single entity. It is designed for exploratory analysis and quick access to frequently consulted visualisations.

2. Filtering Graphs

Below the search bar, the Graph Filters panel provides five filter dimensions to narrow the displayed graphs:

  • Mode — Filter by data presentation mode (e.g., absolute values, growth rates, indices).
  • Metric — Filter by the specific metric measured (e.g., revenue, volume, market share).
  • Region — Focus on graphs for specific geographic areas.
  • Frequency — Filter by data frequency (e.g., annual, quarterly, monthly).
  • Data Category — Filter by thematic data category.

Each filter uses an autocomplete dropdown populated with the available options for that dimension. You can select multiple values within each filter to broaden your search, and combine filters across dimensions to narrow it.

Click Reset to clear all filters and return to the full graph list. When filters are active, the graph grid updates in real time to show only matching results.

3. Understanding Graph Cards

Graphs are displayed as cards in a responsive grid layout. Each card provides a quick summary of what the graph contains:

Card Elements: - Title — the graph's name, describing the data it visualises. - Type Badge — a colour-coded tag indicating the graph's category or type. - Sparkline — a miniature preview of the graph's trend line, giving you a visual hint of the data shape before clicking in.

Click any graph card to open the Graph Detail Dialog for a full interactive view. The cards are arranged in a responsive grid that adapts to your screen size — wider screens display more columns.

Search Integration: The search bar at the top of the page filters cards by title in real time as you type.

4. Graph Detail View

Clicking a graph card opens the Graph Detail Dialog, which provides the full interactive chart experience.

What You See: - The complete chart rendered at full size with all data series visible. - Interactive tooltips on hover showing precise values. - Legend items you can click to show or hide specific series.

Data Grid: Below the chart, a data grid displays the raw tabular data. You can sort columns, search within the grid, and export the data as CSV — the same functionality available on entity page charts.

Navigation: You can also navigate to the graph's dedicated page at /ti-dashboard/{graphId} for a full-page view with additional context.

Close the dialog by clicking outside it or pressing Escape to return to the graph grid.

5. Pinning and Unpinning Dashboards

The pin feature lets you bookmark your most-used graphs for instant access from the main Dashboard.

How to Pin: 1. Find a graph you want quick access to — either from the graph grid or the detail dialog. 2. Click the pin icon on the graph card or within the detail view. 3. The graph is added to your Pinned Dashboards widget on the main Dashboard.

How to Unpin: Click the pin icon again on a pinned graph to remove it from your pinned collection. The graph remains accessible through the TI Dashboard; unpinning simply removes it from your Dashboard widget.

Pinned Dashboards Widget: On your main Dashboard, the Pinned Dashboards widget displays up to four of your pinned graphs with quick-access links. This makes it easy to check your most important visualisations every time you log in without navigating to the TI Dashboard first.

Pin state is stored per-user and persists across sessions.
