Viewer

The "Viewer" (also referred to as the Basic User Interface) is a slimmed-down version of the main client which makes access to pre-defined content both quick and easy.

The BUI provides a simple point-and-click interface without exposing the user to the numerous content management interfaces. The BUI is also used for the HTML client, the Tablet Client and the Phone client.

Note: BUI is the default entry mode for “consumer” and “viewer” user types.

Accessing the Viewer

In the "Account" panel, there is an option to switch to the Basic User Interface (outlined below in red).

Once the BUI is open, there are different actions and functions available for use, as described below.

• Folders - The folder name is listed on the element and a number in parentheses displays the amount of files contained within. Each folder’s color reflects the theme choice from the main application. Tap on the folder to view the files.
• Files - A small image from the file will be displayed in the element. You can distinguish between the Data Discovery files and Story Board files because Data Discovery has a green icon and Story Board has a red icon.

NOTE: When opening content, you will be directed to the "Light Workspace" where you can view and run queries on the data, but there is no "Save" functionality.

• When you tap on a file, the next screen will display the book/dashboard and the individual reports/slides in thumbnails.

Interactive Content - These are "light workspaces" for data discovery reports and story boards where you can utilize the interactive functionalities found in the main client application.

Static Content - These are listings of Alerts and Publications where you can view saved content.
