How to use this application step-by-step?
Step 1 - Selection of the main filters for the analysis
During the first step of the application, the user will have to choose the main filters for his analysis. These
include:
a) main category (e.g. geography, demography & society, economy & labour, sectoral structure, business
characteristics and innovation system)
Figure 1a: Step 1 – Selection of category.
b) years included in the analysis

c) regions that are going to be included

d) variables for the analysis

It is important to notice that the application gives to users the opportunity to group their results either based
on regions, or based on variables. Thus, we can obtain results in two forms: i) results for a specific variable
for a number of regions; and ii) results for a number of different variables for a specific region. These two
different option provide the opportunity to perform comparative analysis not only within a region, but also
between different EU regions.

Step 3 - Selection of the appropriate visualisation mode for the data
The third step of the application offers the opportunity to select the appropriate visualisation mode for the
data by pressing the Show Graph button (Fig. 3a). The choice must be done between two different
visualisation modes: line graphs and bar charts. In both cases, it is possible to export the produced graphs
in an image format (.png) by pressing the Export button at the bottom of the graph.
