The company I work for has asked if I could try to create a dashboard that encorporates different sources but all reflect various aspect of the network status. One thing they asked if it we could show stuff like the spam rates for the entire company or delivery exception. I've tried to look for this, but I could not find if there is a API that I could use to get this type of information. Does microsoft support this kind of reporting?
kind regards,
Vincent

I am trying to wrap my head around Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability. Apparently it's a solution based on Microsoft Dynamics. I need to have more back-end to that solution, because as it is right now I'm either lacking permissions (or extra paid access to Microsoft resources) or missing a chunk of documentation, because I'm unable to:
Change default language across the board - I can switch MS Dynamics to any language I want, but it will work for a shell only. Anything that's CfS specific, is in English. Do I remove the demo data and import my own scopes and data? As only thing available are database and Cube for BI analytics and JSON files describing CfS structure in general (that's in CDM), do I really have to create it from scratch? This brings me to second question:
Access entry-level data that's already in demo version - I need to see what's in the database the CfS is using, or be able to modify it. Is there any way to get to it via Business Central, if at all possible?
Since I will be preparing several presentations for potential customers, I need a way to quickly create a dataset based on initial and very basic information provided by each customer, how can I do that with trial user
I work for a company that's Microsoft Certified Partner, so logically resources for what I need should be available to me, but either links in the documentation are dead (and some are, as they redirect to general info) or require some special access level (or are dead, but error message is really not helpful at all).
Is there somewhere else I can go? The Documentation page offers little towards what I need...
P.S. I think I should tag this question with CfS specific tags, but not enough rep...
We are publishing our powerbi reports embedded into a website with a PowerBI Premium Plan. All our analytic visualizations are on PowerBI but we are in troubles to offer some user interactions through the interface.
Specifically, we want to confirm some events pressing a button which is located on the same powerbi in order to call a backend API through a Javascript.
Fortunately, we've figured out how to solve this problem and our button is updating our database. But we couldn't solve the problem associated with limitations about numbers of requests to the power bi service. It is said that there is a limit of one request every 15 seconds. So, we have to wait 15 seconds to press the button again. Nobody will want to wait more than a few seconds to interact again with the button.
We've used the last example as is described in the following URL:
Embedding Basic interactions
Someone has experience with this kind of interactions on PowerBI? I find it a little strange, I do not find any information about this limitation on the Microsoft website
Here an example of the exception:
You are using PowerBI Embedded. This is a service from Microsoft where you pay for a certain amount of processing power. When you go over this processing power, PowerBI will return an error.
A capacity calculator is available to see how much processing power you would need. You can find it on the Microsoft website.
I'm not sure what you're using this functionality for. You say you use the button to "confirm some events" which suggests that the PowerBI solution is part of an interactive application. Do remember that PowerBI is an analytics platform and as such not really suited for real-time interaction. If this is the case I would strongly advise finding a different solution since higher-tier PowerBI embedded licenses are very expensive (and still won't guarantee that no error will be generated)
In an enterprise scenario where a ColdFusion application is used to register for a event, would it be possible to programmatically add an entry into the calendar of a person?
Google has given me some partial idea's like connecting via JDBC/ iCalendar, etc...
Any ideas & experiences are appreciated
Thanks!
Something I have seen in the past is that after the person has registered for the event, a link is given, something like:
Click here to add this event to your calendar
The link goes to an .ical file, which Lotus Notes (as well as Outlook, and various other calendaring clients) can use to add the event to the user's calendar. You can create an iCal file using CFiCalLib.
It's totally possible.
I've done a lot of direct Coldfusion - Notes integration in the past 12 years and the newer versions of Notes should have many integration points (scripts, agents, COM, etc) to create/edit calendar events.
Adam's angle might be good enough for you, I'd try that out. If you're looking for something to be a little more direct (between the coldfusion and notes server directly, like sharepoint), there's options as well.
I'm looking for common patterns of implementing ad-hoc querying capabilites graphically. I've looked at SQL query builders in Access and TOAD, but I'm interested if anyone is aware of products that have build such a tool against a domain specific data warehouse (e.g. clinical databases).
Thanks,
Beyond Tableau (mentioned by Arthur), I would suggest either Qlikview or Spotfire, both of which allow for ad-hoc graphical querying in in-memory databases. These applications are much more powerful than something like Crystal or Jasper reports.
I have no specific answer but there are reporting tools that help you do stuff that I think you might be interested in.
One pay one that I tried out myself and liked quiet a bit was Tableau It is pay software and the server can be expensive, but I liked the desktop app. You will have to know enough database to figure out how to draw data out of it. Once that is done though you can reuse it. Once you draw out the dataset though you can 'play' with it graphically.
You can get into more complicated Reporting tools like Crystal Reports, Jasper Report and I think IBM has something that deals with 'Cubes' or whatever. You can look up all that by looking into Business Intelligence software. (I hate that name)
The problem with having domain specific stuff is that databases can be different. And even if you use a common vendor tool then the the query tool would have to be built specific to the db.
So maybe this doesn't answer your direct question but hope it is a little helpful.
Currently using SAS as measurement engine and Business Objects as display layer. Looking to develop a new, faster, slicker solution. Has anyone developed or purchased a campaign measurement reporting system? This solution should measure everything from email stats, web stats, customer activity, lift, ROI, etc.
Ok.. I'm researching and finding nada... We are working with a team from India and they want to re-write everything from scratch.. Any solutions out there at all?
If you are already using SAS, have you looked at their Marketing Automation software?
Update:
Just saw a press release from SAS about a new "Software as a Service" Campaign Management solution. Might be worth checking out for this.
When I was a consultant, we either rolled our own or used SAS (or a combination of the two).
Another vote for roll your own, it's mad that this area is so under served. The expense of building your own solution from the ground up, and the hassle of managing a remote team makes me think you may get further by integrating some existing tools.
Google Analytics for web usage has an API, there are many web log tools, you then need to bolt in the customer figures from your end of things.
I really doubt you could do much better than SAS in this area. Especially if you pick up some of thier specialist packages.
You could have a look at R which is a pretty slick open source statistics package. Unfortunately its not used very much for marketing; most of the examples and freely available code is geared towards biochemistry, genetics etc.
