Analyst User

Users with an Analyst license have access to a subset of the full client, where they can author queries, dashboards, publications and tabulations using a "Lite" version of the Pro Apps.

  • Users with the viewer license access the "Viewer Client" offering (mostly) non-authoring capabilities - refer to Viewer Help.
  • Users with the pro license access the "Pro Client" offering authoring capabilities - refer to Pro User Help.
  • Users with the basic license access the "Basic client" via embedded Pyramid content without authoring capabilities - refer to Basic Help.

Analyst Help

This section of the help covers the key elements of the functionality available to an Analyst user:

  • Workflow Overview: The general application workflow and how the apps fit together.
  • Workspace: The key elements of the Analyst client application interface:
    • Home Page: The main landing page when entering the Analyst Client.
    • Bulletin Board: A viewer of all model batch jobs, including a publication and alert inbox as well as the conversation thread viewer.
    • App Tabs: The main interface when using the different apps, after they have been launched.
  • Content Management System (CMS): The centralized framework organizing, managing and sharing of content.

The Analyst user in Pyramid can typically access several apps, each of which is designed to address a specific business or functional need.

App Interface

Once one or more apps are launched (either with new or existing content), the Analyst user switches to a tabbed interface called the "App Tab" mode. Within this mode, each app is shown as a tab for the relevant content item. In this way, multiple instances of a given app can be launched simultaneously.

The Lite apps, used by the Analyst user, share a common layout and design structure within each tab.

Lite App Modules covers in-depth help on each part of the application:

  • Discover Lite: build visualizations and find out what's in your data models.
  • Present Lite: design rich, interactive dashboards and BI applications
  • Publish Lite: author printable, highly formatted documents composed of analytic content, images and text
  • Tabulate Lite: design and build business models using a spreadsheet interface

Mobile for Analysts

  • The Pro, Analyst, and Viewer clients all work - as is - on tablets.
  • A simplified viewer experience (for Pros, Analysts, and Viewers) is available separately on mobile phones.
