Business Intelligence Dashboard Assembly Tool With Indications of Relationships Among Content Elements

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more computer-readable data storage devices;
• and
• an enterprise software application, stored on the one or more computer-readable data storage devices for execution by the one or more processors, and configured for assembling a business intelligence dashboard, wherein the enterprise software application comprises:
• program instructions for rendering a dashboard assembly user interface comprising a canvas section and a resource section, the resource section comprising one or more resource content elements, and the canvas section comprising one or more dashboard content elements, wherein the dashboard assembly user interface enables resource content elements to be selectably added to the canvas section as dashboard content elements in response to user inputs, thereby configuring a business intelligence dashboard;
• program instructions for searching for relationships between information associated with the one or more resource content elements and information associated with the one or more dashboard content elements;
• and
• for a first resource content element from among the resource content elements that has a relationship with a first dashboard content element from among the dashboard content elements, program instructions for rendering a visual indication of the relationship between the first resource content element and the first dashboard content element.

A computer program product comprising executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, configured for causing one or more programmable processors to:

• render a dashboard assembly user interface comprising a canvas section and a resource section, the resource section comprising one or more resource content elements, and the canvas section comprising one or more dashboard content elements, wherein the dashboard assembly user interface enables resource content elements to be selectably added to the canvas section as dashboard content elements in response to user inputs, thereby configuring a business intelligence dashboard;
• search for relationships between information associated with the one or more resource content elements and information associated with the one or more dashboard content elements;
• and
• for a first resource content element from among the resource content elements that has a relationship with a first dashboard content element from among the dashboard content elements, render a visual indication of the relationship between the first resource content element and the first dashboard content element.
