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
