Visier Extensions

Learn about Visier Extensions to start extending your analytics experience.

Overview

If you want to extend the analytic model with business data but don't know where to start, get started with Visier Extensions. Visier Extensions are prebuilt extensions to your existing analytic content with core objects that are aligned to a specific source system. You can use them as a basis to extend your Visier solution. These prebuilt extensions take the guesswork out of object creation, give you an idea of how to build within Visier, and allow you to quickly start loading data. From here, you can start to design, build, and augment your analytic content to meet the precise needs of your organization.

What's included

With Visier Extensions, you get:

• An out-of-the-box extension to your existing analytic content.
• Prebuilt core content equipped with analytic objects, metrics, attributes, analyses, and more.
