In-Context CSD Analytics now supported

A new context application named In-Context CSD Analytics, which uses the Birst In-Context Business Intelligence (ICBI) widget, is available in Infor Ming.le. The new context application panel displays specific Birst Visualizer charts and reports filtered by the business context messages from CloudSuite Distribution. For example, the Customer Transaction Count report in Customer Inquiry-General and Customer Setup-General displays a bar graph that illustrates the selected customer's Orders Entered (count of total orders by entered date) and Orders Invoiced (count of total orders by invoice date) data points.

The In-Context CSD Analytics context application displays data on these CloudSuite Distribution pages, based on the selected customer, vendor, or product:

  • Customer Inquiry-General
  • Customer Setup-General
  • Product Availability Inquiry-Product
  • Product Inquiry-General
  • Product Setup-General
  • Vendor Inquiry-General
  • Vendor Setup-General

In-Context CSD Analytics reports use current Birst models stored in the Data Lake. The Data Lake is populated to the Birst data warehouse nightly.
