Extensibility

Pyramid has numerous extensibility options in the platform for integration with external hosting applications.

Embedding Types

"Native" Embedding

The application can be embedded in another hosting application using raw JavaScript code or via a JavaScript API. The embedding can be done as injectable code (fastest, lightest and preferred). "Injection" means the application is running nativelyIN the page versus running via in an Iframe ON the page. The benefit of this approach is that the natively embedded solution is far more efficient and scalable and a lot easier to secure.

Direct Load

Live, interactive reports (Discover visualizations) and dashboards (Present storyboards) can be loaded directly without needing to present the full application to the end user. Similar to the embed concept, direct load offers a URL driven approach to content access without the need for a hosting application or custom development. However, direct load uses an iframe.

Direct Launch

In some scenarios developers want end users to be able to author content with "lite" tools in the context of a hosting application, without users needing to enter through the main client experience. Direct Launch can be used to trigger this entry point for Smart Discover and Smart Present using nothing more than URLs. This approach also uses an iframe.

Supporting Features

REST APIs are available to independently support the above capabilities, These cover:
