Space Management in Admin 2.0

The Admin 2.0 Home page offers a Space Management feature.

From Space Management, select a space to manage that space's:

Note: A Birst Account Administrator will need to add any new users to an account before they can be added to a space and its space group(s).

Space Membership

Space Admins can manage their space's users. For more information on space membership, see Add a User to a Space

Space Groups

Space Groups are used for grouping a set of space members and granting users read or edit to features within the space. For more information on Space Groups, see Space Groups.

Add Account Groups

Space Administrators can add account groups to a space through the Space Management module. This allows all users listed as part of the account group to have access to the space and to manage permissions through the account group. For more information, see Add an Account Group to a Space.

Report Catalog

The Report Catalog shows the directory structure of the folders and files that contain dashboards and Designer and Visualizer reports in a space. All the files and folders in the Report Catalog are stored on Birst servers.

For more information, see Managing Files in the Report Catalog.

Subject Area

Subject Areas determine the information available to users when viewing and creating reports. For more information, see Manage Subject Areas.

Notifications

This centralized notification area allows space administrators to see all notifications in a space. For more information, see Manage Notifications.

Drill Maps

A drill map specifies how one logical column navigates to another column. Drill maps can be used to setup drilling for a large group of users. For more information, see Creating a Drill Map.

Localization

If you are using Birst in a multi-lingual environment, certain elements in Visualizer and Dashboards can be translated to each user’s own language to better support localization. For more information, see User Created Translations.

Security Filters

For more information, see Security Filters.

Manage Variables

Space Administrators can create custom variables for use in:

  • Reports and dashboards
  • Data security filters
  • Birst Connect queries
  • Birst Connect server name, database name, user name, and generic connection strings (single-value constants)
  • Application Connector queries

For more information on variables, see Manage Variables.

View Processed Data

Space Admins can view and run queries on their processed data through Space Management.

For more information, see Viewing published data.

Query Admin

Custom Attributes & Measures

Custom attributes and measures are new columns derived from other attributes or measures in the data model.

For example, a common use of a custom attribute is to concatenate two attributes. For example: [ContactTitle]+' '+[ContactName]. For more information, see Creating Custom Attributes and Measures.

Aggregates

Pre-aggregated data speeds up run-time query performance. For more information, see Manage Aggregates.

Packages

A package is a set of metadata copied from a space and used in managed data mashups, when child spaces share a parent space. The parent space package of metadata is imported to the child spaces and augments the existing metadata in the child space. For more information, see Manage Packages.

Command Window

Birst provides a set of administrative commands for common activities related to provisioning users and groups, managing spaces, and more. These commands can be executed through the Command Window. For more information, see Using the Command Window.

Space Properties

Administrators can use the Space Properties screen to change a space's settings. These settings apply to the entire space. For more information, see Modify Space Properties.

Schedule Data Processing

Space Admins are able to view a space's scheduled processing jobs through Space Management by accessing Schedule Data Processing.
