Siebel Disconnected Analytics allows mobile users to access data and reports when not connected to a network. For more information about using Disconnected Analytics on a mobile user's machine, see Siebel Disconnected Analytics Online Help.
Siebel Analytics provides the following disconnected solutions:
- Briefing Books allow mobile users to put a static snapshot of Analytics content on their laptop to access when they are working offline. You can use the static content in Briefing Books for tasks such as managed reporting and lightweight content distribution. Briefing Books can be scheduled and delivered using iBots and is available as part of Siebel Analytics Web. For more information about Briefing Books, see Siebel Analytics Web Administration Guide.
- Managed Disconnected Analytics is centrally administered and managed. It provides most analytical functionality that is available in the network-based Siebel Analytics application. After populating their local database, mobile users connect to a local dashboard through a browser and see the same UI that they would see on the dashboards on Siebel Analytics Web.
NOTE: In this guide, Disconnected Analytics refers to managed Disconnected Analytics. The disconnected database, disconnected repository, and other disconnected components are interchangeably referred to as mobile, local, or disconnected. When Siebel Analytics is used to describe components, it refers to components of the network-based Siebel Analytics application. For example, Siebel Analytics Server refers to the network-based Siebel Analytics Server.
Disconnected Analytics mobile users typically perform the following tasks:
- Download data from an Siebel Analytics database to a SQL Anywhere database on a laptop.
NOTE: SQL Anywhere is a mobile relational database that is installed with Siebel Analytics.
- Use interactive analytical dashboards.
- If mobile users have authorization to access Siebel Answers, they can create and modify their own sourcing reports that determine what data is downloaded. For more information about sourcing reports, see Defining Sourcing Reports for Disconnected Analytics.
