Translating Financial Times Visual Vocabulary

[Vincent Thuilot]

Financial Times issued a great Visual Vocabulary for Analytics.

Tableau already translated everything for Tableau users.

Could you please do the same with Spotfire ?

It would help a lot end users and also show that we can do more with Spotfire.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Happy to contribute & help on this topic!

Hello Vincent,

That's a great idea! The topic is already covered in the Data Literacy

article in the community - https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/Data-Literacy - which also directly references the Financial Times Visual Vocabulary, but I will inform the creators of the article of your feedback, which might inspire further work on it.

Hello and Thanks Fredrik,

Having the possibility to have access to online dashboards translating each visual, and potentially with a step by step guide would help a lot. It's important for Spotfire to stay competitive in the story telling and this is one opportunity I think.

I thought that the FT examples are great because they are extremely visual and speak to everyone. The fact that a competitor of Spotfire translated all the visuals with their tool to showcase the tool capabilities (not linking to outside websites or other tools) is a good way to position the tool and strengthen both the basic/advanced features to the online community. What they probably missed is the how-to for each dashboard.

Could TIBCO Spotfire do the same for each visual, sharing an example at how to build each of them within Spotfire and publish it publicly?

Cherry on the cake: if Spotfire team could make it with a sample dataset made by TIBCO made available to everyone, that would be awesome. It would make it easier for new users to practice and to reproduce according to the examples that TIBCO would share.

People tend to go to go most convenient option!

Thanks for your support

Great suggestions, Vincent - I agree that this would be a very useful thing to have. I have forwarded this to quite a few people.

Thank you
