Definition
InfoZoom is an application, developed by the company humanIT, for analyzing and displaying large amounts of data in an easy-to-understand format.
Application
Data source
The user can import data either with the import tool for Excel or text files or use an ODBC or OLE DB connection.
View Modes
InfoZoom offers three modes for data analysis: wide table, compressed table and overview
Wide Table
The wide talbe looks like a classic 2D-table. Every attribute is shown as a row and the objects as columns. If the windows is not big enough to show all records or attributes you can scroll vertically or horizontally
Compressed Table
The compressed table shows all objects pushed together to fit on the screen. Numerical values are represented by the vertical position of dots. The data can be sorted by individual attributes in ascending or descendig order.
Overview Mode
The overview mode allows that the content of each attributes row are sorted independently. The identical values are placed together in a cell. The width of the cell represents the frequency of this value.
