After a first gathering of the customer requirements pertaining to a tile solution it was obvious that there is no single tile that can be used for all purposes: too different were the demands on the visual requirements. The solution had to be a modular construction kit, which allows users to combine different tile modules on a pre-defined layout.

The question remained how to create a uniform design of these modules and the whole tile. Here we were able to draw on the great work of John Armitage: his design proposals for analytical tiles were our aesthetic standard for a consistent style. For further reading take a look at his book “Bringing Numbers to Life: Lava and Design-Led Innovation in Visual Analytics”.

In the sense of a uniform language regulation we speak in the further manual of Lumira Designer or briefly Designer.

For our graphomate tiles extension Lumira Designer >= 2.0 SP03 and IE 11+ are required. For further information, for example about the deployment on the Business Intelligence Platform (BIP) or SAP Netweaver, please consult the Product Availability Matrix (PAM).
