The Basic user type is designed for use with Pyramid content embedded in third-party web applications. Pyramid Embed is a light-weight, code-injectable client that provides superior performance coupled with interactive capability. Application developers creating bespoke analytic applications will find the Basic user type ideal for delivering high class, polished web applications.
Named vs Anonymous Embedding
The basic user type is designed for interoperability with the 'Named Embedding' license option - since the user will be logging into the session with a specific user account. The basic user is not functional when using the 'Anonymous Embedding' license option - since these 2 approaches are mutually exclusive.
Note: All other named users types can also utilize named embedding.
Standard Functionality in Embedding
Embedded Discover reports or Present dashboards keep their core functionality in embedded mode. This includes:
- Context menu driven interactions like drilling, dicing, quick filtering / sorting, pivoting, and so on.
- Support for report or dashboard actions from the context menu (including slice actions) - generated from Pyramid or from an external engine (like Microsoft Multidimensional actions and drill-through)
- Slicing and slicer functions
- Jump and interactive button support
- General navigation
- Smart Insights and the Chatbot
- Access to the menu panel and hidden slicers (Present only)
- Full screen button to view the embedded content in full screen mode
- Reset button to reset the embedded content
Certain capabilities are not available or are presented in a reduced function:
- Printing is limited to default exports through PDF and Excel only
- There is no support for Conversations or Workflows
- The Analyze Further capability is not available
