CubesViewer is a visual, web-based tool application for exploring and analyzing OLAP databases served by the Cubes OLAP Framework.
CubesViewer can be used for data exploration and data auditory, generation of reports, chart design and embedding, and as a (simple) company-wide analytics application.
CubesViewer is a visual interface for the open source Cubes server (an OLAP server in Python). Purpose is to keep it simple and modular, leveraging the web services provided by Cubes.
Features:
- Cube explorer providing drilldown and cut operations.
- Supports dimension hierarchies and date filtering.
- Several charts and diagrams can be created.
- View management, cloning, saving and sharing.
- User Interface allows for multiple views on-screen.
- Multiple modes: explore, data series, chart, facts.
- Undo / Redo.
- Multi-user.
- Views can be embedded in other web sites.
- Modular and extensible.
- CubesViewer Explorer with the full application
- CubesViewer Demo page with one embedded view
Current CubesViewer version is 0.11-devel. Works with Cubes 1.0.x.
CubesViewer version 0.11 - Works with Cubes 1.0.x
(Use older CubesViewer version 0.9 if you need to work with Cubes 0.10.x)
CubesViewer consists of two parts:
CubesViewer Client is a HTML5 application and can run directly in the browser. It can run without server side support as a standalone application, and views can be embedded in other websites. Simply download and open the src/htmlviews/gui.html file in your favourite browser.
The full CubesViewer application includes a server side Python Django application which supports features like sharing/saving and user notes. Requires Django 1.7, but it is optional (only needed if you wish to use the full application with user authentication, user notes or save/load/share support).
Of course you need a configured and running Cubes Server version 1.0.x or later. Note that your cubes model needs some extra configuration if you wish to use features like date filters and range filters (see Documentation below).
To be able for CubesViewer to connect to the slicer server, your slicer.ini should allow cross origin resource
sharing. To enable this option, put allow_cors_origin: http://localhost:8000 (or the URL from wich your app will work,
or an asterisk *) under the [server] section.
For further information, see the Documentation section below.
This tool allows users to inspect the different dimensions, measures and aggregated data in different ways, allowing you to build tables and charts based on the analytical data available from the server.
