Show Me enhances Tableau by integrating automatic presentation features, improving the visual analysis user experience. This system helps users create complex data visualizations, including small multiples, efficiently.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Commercial visual analysis systems often lack integrated automatic presentation features.
  • Previous research on automatic presentation has not focused on user experience within interactive systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe Show Me, an integrated set of commands and defaults for automatic presentation in Tableau.
  • To enhance the user experience for visual analysis by incorporating automatic presentation.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of automatic presentation into Tableau using VizQL.
  • Development of user interface commands for mark type selection and field addition.
  • Extension of automatic presentation to generate tables of views (small multiples).

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Show Me successfully incorporates automatic presentation into a commercial visual analysis tool.
  • User interface logs indicate adoption and usage by commercial users.
  • The system supports the flow of visual analysis through intuitive commands and defaults.

Conclusions:

  • Show Me effectively improves the user experience in visual analysis systems.
  • Automatic presentation, when integrated thoughtfully, is valuable for commercial applications.
  • User-centered design is crucial for the adoption of advanced visualization features.
