Spotfire Dashboard 1. Build an table of contents-like index of the complex document with well-defined web addresses in MindTouch. 2. Build that index in an Excel spreadsheet so it supports faceted search in a Spotfire dashboard. 3. Build a Spotfire knowledgebase with that Excel spreadsheet. 4. Build multiple knowledgebases in a Spotfire dashboard so they can be seen, compared, merged, harmonized, sorted, searched, downloaded, and shared on mobile devices (e.g. iPad). 5. Scale the previous architectural pattern with more content volume and types if necessary. 6. Maintain/update that content with a dynamic case management tool like Be Informed, FacetApp, etc. 16
