Create Curated Content

Learn how to put together curated content to be consumed by end users.

Introduction

The Visier platform allows analytic visuals to be prebuilt and organized into analyses, topics and guidebooks for end-user consumption. While users could leverage the Explore room to carry out freeform ad-hoc analysis, it is recommended to put together curated analytics in order to address the top use cases, delivering out of the box analytics for a great end user experience.

You will learn how to:

  • Organize visuals into a user facing analysis
  • Organize analyses into topics and guidebooks

Prerequisites

Before beginning this tutorial, you will need:

Setting the stage

The data model has been finalized, the data has been loaded and the analytic objects have been successfully populated. The metrics, dimensions, and concepts - everything has been configured. You’re able to carry out ad-hoc analysis using the Explore room. All that remains is to put together some outstanding curated content for the end users.

Steps

Create your analyses

Note that you’ll be creating your analyses in a project in Studio as an administrator (and then publishing it), rather than leveraging the front-end UI as an end user. Follow the steps outlined in Create an Analysis in Projects to get started. 

The Create an Analysis section outlines all content authoring capabilities you should need.

It’s a good idea to capture most of the visuals you’re intending to use ahead of time. This way you could simply insert the visuals from your Captures. For instructions, see Capture a Visualization.

Create and organize your guidebooks and topics

See Create a Guidebook for an overview of guidebooks and Topics, as well as step-by-step instructions. After the guidebooks and the topics are created, you can assign the previously created analyses to different sections of the guidebooks by adding topics. For instructions, see Add Topics to an Analysis.

Add content to content packages

Make sure you add any new content to the appropriate Content Packages, otherwise your users will not be able to see it. Once you do that, you should be able to validate by previewing your solution as a specific user. For instructions, see Preview the Solution as a User.

Publish your project

You’re done - don’t forget to publish your project!
