Design considerations

To help you extend your Visier solution beyond the available Visier Extensions, we have created the following guides that walk you through the design decisions that were considered by Visier experts when building the extensions.

While the examples are focused on the Salesforce and ServiceNow^® extensions, the design principles and guidelines can be applied when building any extension to the analytic model. If you have additional use cases beyond the out-of-the-box content in Visier, examine the design decisions that you can apply to extend the analytic model with new objects.
