  • Portal Deployment – Get live fast to drive revenue, embed over time and leverage work done in the portal when you embed

  • Multi-database Support
  • Import/Export Reports - Reports can be imported and reused across tenants using the Import/Export feature.
  • Data Model/Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures
    • Manage tables, custom views, their columns, and relationships
    • Add and remove calculated fields
    • Manage stored procedures, their parameters, output columns, and relationships
  • Redesigned Report Designer – Designed for the most basic to advanced user
  • Multiple scheduled alerts and subscriptions – one report multiple alerts and schedule preferences
  • Send to Disk Path - To define the path to save files for all Scheduled/Subscribed instances with Send to Disk delivery method, input path in the text box of that section.
    • When the report is saved on this location, the system will save the report name along with date and time so that saving a new version of this report will not overwrite this report. The format when saved: <report name>_<mmddyyyy>_<hhmmss> For example: If report “ABC” is saved to disk path at 10/22/2016, 23:59:00, the report will be saved with name = ABC_10222016_235900.

SummitAI introduced Izenda 7 with the Alps release. The Administrators can use both Izenda 6 and Izenda 7 reports. However, the reports created in Izenda 6 cannot be viewed or migrated to Izenda 7 and vice versa.

Caution:

Izenda 7 is not supported on the older versions of SummitAI for the SaaS-enabled database. The Administrators on the SaaS-enabled database are advised to create Izenda 7 reports only if the version of the SummitAI application is Sierra SP1 HF02 or later.

Improved SummitAI Application Performance With Izenda 7

Izenda 6 was integrated in a way where it opened within the SummitAI application iframe. Any application, which opens within another application iframe impacts the performance of the application. Izenda 7 is tightly integrated with SummitAI application, it opens up on a separate tab of the browser, without putting any additional load on the performance of the SummitAI application. The authentication/authorization for Izenda 6 and 7 works in the same way.

Migrating Izenda 6 Reports to Izenda 7

The reports and dashboards created by the customers using Izenda 6 do not get migrated when updated to Izenda 7. The customers should identify the BI reports and dashboards that they want to be migrated to Izenda 7. These reports and dashboards need to be built from scratch using Izenda 7. The migration of these reports and dashboards is not supported natively by SummitAI.


After we introduced Izenda 7 in SummitAI in Alps release, the Administrators can create BI reports using both Izenda 6 and Izenda 7. However, it makes sense to create new reports (and dashboards) in Izenda 7 because after September 2020, reports created in Izenda 6 will be lost if not created in Izenda 7. So, the Administrators should identify the reports (and dashboards) created in Izenda 6, which are required for the organization, and create those reports using Izenda 7 to avoid losing any reports. This creation of useful reports from Izenda 6 to Izenda 7 should happen latest by September 2020.

Support for Izenda 6

Izenda 6 reports will be supported until September 2020. All the customers should migrate their reports created in Izenda 6 to Izenda 7 to avoid losing any reports.
