Numerics

Visualize your data

- J.R. Bookwalter

Business users might not be the target audience for Apple TV, but developers are targeting the hardware as more than just a streaming media box. Case in point: Numerics, an app dedicated to helping companies visualize key performanc­e indicators (KPI), used to reach targets.

Numerics makes creating visual dashboards a snap, thanks to connection­s with over 40 cloud services so metrics are updated in real time. Custom connectors enable pulling data from spreadshee­ts, in-house systems, or third-party software via JSON.

You don’t design the dashboards on Apple TV — this work is done on iPhone or iPad, then synced via iCloud. From there, you use the Siri Remote to move between different on-screen widgets and click the touchpad to open in full screen.

Existing dashboards can be resized with a click and hold on the Touch Surface, which toggles between sizes without having to go back and edit the data. You can even use gestures to flip through full-screen KPIs for faster navigation.

 ??  ?? For a visual representa­tion of how your business is doing, Numerics’ visually-rich dashboards provide informatio­n on KPIs.
