Overview of In-Document Analytics (8207)

Content that uses In-Document Analytics provides users with an interactive interface that allows the generation of real-time, dynamic reports, charts, and dashboards. Its versatility allows you to package a data set with a combination of analytical views, resulting in highly intuitive and interactive self-service business intelligence. This gives you an edge in presentation and analysis, making it easy to develop and share concepts, ideas, and scenarios. An interactive report is a self-contained report, meaning that it contains all the data and JavaScript® within the HTML output file.

Using the Variables Tab

The Variables tab contains a set of predefined parameters that you can use to add information to the chart header or footer, build dynamic calculated fields, or quickly create filters based on conditions defined in the data source.

The available variables are divided into two sections, System Variables and Query Variables, as shown in the following image.

Variables tab

System Variables are predefined variables that are always available for use. These are:

Prompting for DBMS Credentials at Runtime for Procedure and Upload

You can configure the server to prompt for user credentials on running a procedure and upload. First, you must enable this feature on the server by adding connections_autoprompt=y in the admin.cfg file.

This setting can be enabled from the Workspace page. Click Settings, Workspace SET, then Profile Settings. The Profile Settings page opens, as shown in the following image.

Selecting Adapter Connections for Upload and Data Load

The new JSON-based SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES_EXT command supports the following parameter to allow the adapter connection to be available for Upload, Quick Copy and Custom Copy.

"allow_data_load"

If this parameter is set to "y" , the connection is available for upload and data load and would be shown in the Load Options dialog box for any data load. This is the default value.
If this parameter is set to "n", the server will hide this connection in the Load Options dialog box.

Web Console Enhancements

A user can add a file to the list of favorites personalized for the user by right-clicking a file on the Web Console and clicking Add to Favorites.

In addition, the myhome application directory for each user contains a file named history.txt that contains a list of recent files opened by the user. By default, the history file contains the ten most recent files opened by the user.
