TM1 Forum

Hi Everyone,

I want to create a web and phone-based application that uses TM1 as the engine and is presented using schmick browser and app dashboards. I need to have write-back available to the TM1 server.

I get the TM1 side and will use the REST API to get to the data. I am then thinking of using some D3 (or similar) visualisations in the dashboards. I am looking for ideas on how to develop the front end and apps so I have a consistent look and feel, noting the need for write-back. I am happy to buy development tools, but do not want to buy a user based presentation tool.

Any thoughts folks?

Thanks

John

If I understand your idea correctly, then Cubewise thinks it's a great idea, and they developed a thing called 'Canvas'. Of course it is not freely available, so if you create smth similar and free, you'll make a lot of people happy.

Hello @sighurd, well yes and probably more, no. This will not be an end user tool, it will be coded fixed dashboards as the front end of a web based application.

Why not just use PAW?

I thought of that @DavidUsherwood, but PAW won't give the fine granular control I need to create the web pages or apps. Thanks for the thoughts though!

Since what you will be doing is agnostic as to the data source I'm sure there are plenty of dashboarding toolkits that can deal with data in JSON format. Have you tried Googling that? If you are somewhat ambitious and have some web development experience there is always jQuery and jQueryMobile. Although those aren't specifically for dashboarding there are tons of third party add-ons that do it.
