Notes de l'éditeur
- This will be a quick overview and demonstration. Not meant to be exhaustive, just I stumbled upon something cool and when I heard this month’s MOSSIG was on BI, I pestered Chris and elaine to let me share it
- Good Question, what does this have to do with SharePoint?
- Well I work with Project Server all the time. Project Server is a service application of SharePoint, much like Visio, Word Services or Excel Services.Arguably the most BI aware application Microsoft ships on SharePoint, one relational data store dedicated for reporting and multiple Analysis Services instance each containing 14 OLAP cubes. All OOB!! I was looking at ways to try and get Project Server information out to a bigger audience who may not be in the office, those project managers that are out and about and need to see what’s going on real time.
- So looked at the iPhone. Because I had one. And an IpadSpecifically dug around the app store and found two apps:RoamBIPushBIBoth looked great, they were free on the app store, the demo’s were awesome.But then I started to try and get an understanding of what was required to hook up Project Server data, Found we needed additional software to be installed, which cost. Or extracts of our enterprise data, and uploaded to their websites, doable , but not necessarily something you would want to do.
- So decided to have a look at Windows Phone, thanks to a tweet from a guy in Germany.Found BlueGranite Nitro (sounds like it was named with one of those random name generators)How it works…Best of all, it was free. No servers, just your existing SharePoint & PS infra -
- So what does it look like?Well it uses a pivot interface at the top that allows you to choose different dashboards, then shows the relevant data. To change dashboard, simply swipe across.How does the app know how to do this, well the great thing is there is no programming really, all you need to do is pass build some XML. For the dashboards there is a data layout component, detailing the name of the dashboard, the type, the format and what data to use to render it.For the data, basically it’s an encoded dataset relating to what the chart type is expecting
- So let’s see this in action.BUILD UP THE REPORTThen jump into the windows phone
- But wait there’s more… that what you just saw, the tool itself can do other visualisation, just by simply writing a little piece of sqlBut you can easily wire this up into a cube, other SQL tables anything
