Pyramid’s built-in multi-factor authentication (MFA) option adds a rock-solid layer of security to your BI application if your authentication provider does not offer it. Passwords alone have proven to be an insufficient means of security in today’s world. More than 55 percent of enterprises use MFA to provide an additional layer of security. While some customers who Read more…
Administrators occasionally need to check complicated settings and security structures for users. Sometimes the easiest and most reliable way to do so is to simply log in as that user. Pyramid provides an innovative solution by allowing an administrator to simply log in as a specific user and see exactly what they see. Server-based software with Read more…
Pyramid lets users customize and personalize the labels of value metrics and hierarchies for a given data model. These customizations can be set for all sessions (present and future) or to a specific report without affecting other users, breaking the functionality of the underlying data model, or compromising the enterprise-wide governance and security features required Read more…
Static data format masks, used to format values in analytics) is a standard feature in most BI applications. However, data-driven formats, which change formats per value item, are anything but standard. Pyramid provides data-driven formatting using labels like currency and numeric units. This is a critical capability when the same metric has values with different Read more…
Pyramid lets users display multiple value metrics in a single report, each with its own graphical visualization, providing greater flexibility in displaying analytic content. Pyramid has had various options to shown different values in the same chart or report, including: We have added a new option: the ability to use the trellising chart capability with Read more…
Pyramid’s persistent color feature maintains the same color in all visualizations for selected data elements, even after slicing or removing items from a chart. Analysts often use specific colors to identify distinct hierarchies or measures in visualizations. Predetermined colors can be explicitly selected per hierarchy or measure, but this can be an arduous task when Read more…
Pyramid offers flexible, intuitive security for parent-child hierarchies, providing role-based control over how members are viewed and aggregated within hierarchies. Implementing parent-child hierarchies has long been an Achilles’ heel in most BI tools from query design, processing, structure, to rendering of the hierarchy in a lucid, coherent fashion. If this wasn’t enough of a headache, applying member-level Read more…
Pyramid excels in its’ native support for parent-child hierarchies, automatically generating hierarchical structures and providing fluid, intuitive reporting. Parent-child hierarchies are used to depict the hierarchical, iterative relationship between all members that appear in the same table, enabling a graphic portrayal of the relationships and facilitating the aggregation of all members according to the hierarchical structure. Read more…
Pyramid provides time-based cumulative measures as a method for aggregating non-additive values on a cumulative basis in a data model, allowing users to solve analytical problems typically found in financial and accounting applications, where balance sheet values need to be accumulated to a given point in time.
Pyramid provides users flexibility over how to apply subtotals in a multi-dimensional matrix grid—using a simple point and click interface. Adding subtotals to a table or grid enables users to quickly grasp values per dimension or hierarchy. Subtotal functions are often toggle switches that provide subtotaling for either all dimensions or none. This can result in displaying unnecessary Read more…
Data modeling is now central to all business analytic processes as companies embrace the “Decision Intelligence” paradigm. Delivering advanced data modeling options in a self-service framework is challenging – and maintaining the workflows created in the process can complicate things further. Pyramid provides enhanced no-code tools to allow users to maintain better-existing data flows and ETL Read more…
Pyramid’s Custom Workflows provides users with new collaborative options from within the analytics platform for delivering actionable analytics that go beyond classic conversations and annotations. The customization tools and workflow APIs allow customers to build their own data-driven action lists, commentary systems, annotation models, documentation tools, and interfaces with other technology platforms directly into Pyramid Read more…
