Thanks Ben,
Uploaded 1.0.3 and it solved both issues.
I may need to play with the Visualization module for a while longer before I can give new features suggestions. I'm still over excited by what it does.
Immediately, I thought about how the Report Builder could integrate with it through the UI where you may want to have a graph and a table of data side by side and create a dashboard type of layout that could be available to users. Maybe a Data Dashboard module (?). The Report Builder also has lots of additional possibilities...I will forward those once I have documented them.
I looked at what additional data could be displayed within the graphs when rolling over the data but again that works exactly as I need at the moment. You may get calls for additional graph types and graph export to other formats.
The data we currently graph will be to do with attending training courses - courses, locations, customers, cost etc so that we can understand our business. After that it's what our customers want.
There are similar products available which are more basic, very similar and then more advanced than the Visualization module but the advantage your module has is:
a)The module works with FT
b)Has an option to allow the data to be used outside of FT so that users can build their own solutions
So to finish I think the best thing to do is to ask the public/users what they want and I appreciate your question. I hope I can feedback some useful suggestions in the coming months as I use the software to solve business problems.
