APOS Dashboard Migration was released recently

Another release this past week, a new version.

It enables XCelsius content in Design Studio

The reasons to develop are because many organizations have assets in XCelsius and want to find a way to use that content as they transition to Design Studio

In this webcast APOS reviewed use case scenarios

This supports HTML5 and SWF dashboards

Will you support dashboards on an iOS device?  Yes

You can pass parameters from Design Studio to an XCelsius dashboard

Phase 2 has expanded – HTML5, and bring SWF – SWF will not display on iOS

HTML5 is supported

Phase 2 (in Figure 2) allows bi-directional parameters and enhanced data transfer is supported

Ian said he is asked when will Design Studio have all components that XCelsius has?  With over 100 components, they are working to close the gap

Design Studio works likely large datasets from HANA/BW.  You can pass filters to Design Studio
