Overview

Elixir Ambience is a Cloud-Scale Business Analytics/Intelligence Platform that helps you analyse and manage your data effectively to make accurate business decisions.

Data can be kept confidential to be shared between users in a domain, using access rights. Ambience allows creation of multiple domains, and users with differing access rights can be created for each domain. This ensures separation of responsibilities for each user.

There are two users pre-defined: admin:sa and test:test - the former is an administrator with full control of the system, the other is a regular user. The choices available depend on whether a user has administrator rights - you may have several administrators. Your administrator account does not have to be called admin.

You can create a variety of dashboards and reports to explore and filter your data. These tools help you extract the relevant information that is crucial to support your business decisions.

You can create numerous jobs to be run at scheduled intervals of time. For example, you may want to pull in sales data and turn it into a report each night, automatically.

You can access frequently used reports and dashboards easily by marking them as Watched Files.
