Beta This is a beta feature, which means we’re still developing it. Some functionality might change.
Data Analyzer has several components that work together:
- The Data Analyzer Template App that's available in the Exchange.
- The Data Analyzer plugin/wizard which coordinates the process.
- The Data Analyzer AI that generates models in the form of records in the app.
Data Analyzer Plugin
You might have noticed that the plugin is visible in the Plugins menu in any app (the plugins menu can be accessed from the App Overview). The Data Analyzer Plugin has two main functions:
- To provide a way for you to define the input data for the Data Analyzer AI.
- To tell the Data Analyzer AI to which app and fields the metadata of a model should be recorded.
Because of this mapping, you'll need to install the plugin to the template app that you get from Exchange. Since the app has all the needed reports, forms, rules, schema, etc., the installation process is very straightforward as all the fields are automatically mapped.
Data Analyzer Template App
The Data Analyzer Template App is a normal Exchange app, but has all the things needed for the Data Analyzer AI to store the results of the analyses. This is why we highly recommend that you do not alter anything that was part of the original app. You can add more things in the app.
You can have more than one Data Analyzer AI and plugin in your realm.
Data Analyzer AI
The last piece is our Data Analyzer AI. It uses machine learning technologies to look for statistical correlations in your data. When it’s done, it will generate records in your app for you to look at.
