In addition to the Enterprise Analytics functionality available to you as a Manufacturing Intelligence Designer, you will also be able to access integrated non-Shoplogix data sources within the same analytics platform.
As a designer, you have all the viewing capabilities that a viewer has but you will also be able to create and design dashboards with integrated data sources that are not native to Shoplogix. The fields will be available to select just like the core Shoplogix data. You will be able to select the non-native Shoplgix fields along side Shoplogix core fields. The available fields will depend on what your organization has agreed to integrate at the start of the project. Please contact your account rep if you want to include more data sources.

If you are creating a widget with non-Shoplogix fields alongside Shoplogix core data, you need to ensure the proper Dimensions and grouping options make sense and are joined properly.

Attempts to display alongside fields that are not joined will result in incorrect results being displayed or empty results. |
Depending on how the external data sources are integrated, you will be able to chart the sources with some common Shoplogix groupings.

You will then be able to create dashboards to correlate external information with actual production data that is automatically collected from Shoplogix.
