Here is the layout of Vizable interface, clean in look and user friendly. By looking at the view of Vizable we can easily find out it has two basic graphic forms, bar chart and line chart.

3 Apparently Vizable is designed for light weighted data, and different purposes from tableau. Tableau dashboards developing is more about business strategy using and visual variation. One the other hand, Vizable tends to give end user a general analytic idea with their own data to answer those simple analytic questions. For example, how is my work out performance? How is my truck drivers driving? How is my asset affected by my purchasing behavior? By inputting those CSV or Excel files, the end users can easily see the relationships between those measures and dimensions. And interaction with those date by pinching and dragging the graphics. By dragging a single bar in the cluster, you can highlight the date set in order to look it closely.

4 The line chart symbol in blue can lead you from bar chart to line chart.

5 The name in brackets under there is the name of the data source, which you can change it by tap on it. The orange arrow shows the main menu of Vizable, which is consisted by three parts. The data source import option, the imported data list window, and the help menu.

6 This window on left will pop out when you tap on any of column names here on top of the chart. By tapping and holding on the names of column, you change the displaying position of the dimensions, in order to group by them in different order. In the window on left, you can drill down the measure data by tapping on them, as well as tapping the plus and minus symbol down there to adjust the granularity of your data.

7 This window on left is activated by tapping on the measure names in the view. For example: sale amount in green in this view. By locking sales amount, you can have those aggregation options in the window, for example: sum, average, max, and min. It gives
