Business Analytics Server and Reader

Business Analytics is a set of two tools that allow you to define, save and share charts based on data stored in a Business Analytics Server index.

The first tool, Business Analytics Builder, allows you to choose a set of measures and dimensions to build a query that will be executed on an associated Business Analytics Server index. The query response will display data as a chart. You can modify the colors, titles and the type of this chart, and then save it and share its access with a restricted list of users.

Once saved, charts may be "read" using the second tool, named Business Analytics Reader. While Business Analytics Builder allows you to modify the display of the chart, Business Analytics Reader only intends to display saved charts. Note that the chart displayed will always be up-to-date regarding the data that is contained in the index where the query is executed. Saving a chart consists in saving a query and a set of display modification.
