HyperIntelligence and its Architecture

HyperIntelligence and its Architecture

When you open a web page the extension automatically scans web pages in your browser and underlines keywords that you can hover over to trigger cards. Cards present predefined KPIs associated with a selected keyword sourced securely from MicroStrategy.

This feature is similar to what we see in web pages particularly stock related web sites. 
MicroStrategy introduced HyperCards, a new object that is built, managed, and deployed using MicroStrategy Workstation(Not by using Developer or Desktop as far as I know). Cards can be consumed in a web browser via the MicroStrategy HyperIntelligence Chrome extension and on iOS devices via the MicroStrategy HyperMobile app. This feature can help the users to inject Zero-Click Intelligence (as it requires the users to hover only and no need to click!) about customers, products, people, and more directly onto words within websites or web application or emails. This feature can display the content through the mobile devices to bring answers through relevant, context-based analytics.
HyperIntelligence assists the users to find a report without logging into the environment and then allows to locate relevant information. It brings answers directly to you through contextualized text analytics that is as simple as hovering over a highlighted word.
HyperIntelligence can be an interesting and exciting feature for all levels of report/analytics users as they can see the reports as they type on in emails as below:

Salient features of HyperIntelligence:
  • Enables the text analytics that is as simple as hovering over a highlighted word in your email or web browser.
  • HyperIntelligence automatically scans every web page and underlines relevant keywords. Hover over a highlighted word to see insights in real-time.
  • Each card can seamlessly combine information from multiple enterprise assets and applications.
  • The extension supports multiple cards for different use cases. Each card can point to a different keyword. Simply click the extension icon to see the list of available cards or toggle individual cards on or off.
  • By default, the extension will work with any web-based content, however it is possible to blacklist individual websites - disabling the extension's functionality.
Microstrategy 2019 enhances the HypeIntelligence features further by introducing vision voice screen etc with the the new features like Hypevoice, Hyperscreen and Hypervision.

Hypervoice:

This feature allows the users to ask questions to get instant answers through voice commands in a similar fashion as you interact with Alexa. MicroStrategy integration with Amazon Alexa or Google Home (Not sure about Apple Homepod integration) to turn analytics applications into a voice-enabled personal coach. Which could boost productivity by blending insights into existing workflows. Developers can leverage MSTR APIs to integrate with voice-controlled applications like Amazon Alexa and Google Home. With MSTR-developed NLG and voice recognition mechanisms, it could be easy to get answers to the business questions on the way to the next meeting. By integrating with voice technology or chatbots, it’s easy to deliver the right data, fast.

Hyperscreen:

Hyperscreen enables the personalized insights on every wall(screen) you walk through. It can turn a screen into a dynamic, intelligent display that presents a personalized view of information based on who is standing nearby. It uses the new feature called Digital Identity to transform offices and facilities into spaces that inspire data-driven collaboration and action.

Hypervision:

Here, the magic comes by embedding analytics with virtual reality. Hold up your device for an augmented reality experience that overlays insights on objects and surroundings. Use image recognition to scan products and check inventory, or use GPS location to get an instant customer brief as you walk into your meeting.

Architecture 

The above workflow can be described as:
  • HypeIntelligence extension from Google Chrome browser submits a REST API request to MicroStrategy cubes by requesting topic(attributes!) and metrics.Data received from MSTR cubes to the browser is cached.
  • When the user open the browser and opens a web page or types text in emails or open emails. 
  • The extension finds matches and highlights those matching keywords.
  • Users hovers the highlighted keyword.
  • Extension displays the hypercard as designed.
  • Once the extension gets the data it caches the data and display the data in Hypercards whenever a user hovers on the key word highlighted.
 Deliver Zero-Click Intelligence
 Combine Information from Multiple Systems
 Support Multiple Cards
 Blacklist Individual Websites

The architecture for HyperIntelligence is similar to MicroStrategy Library. MicroStrategy Library is a client application running on a desktop browser or a mobile device, whereas HyperIntelligence is currently only available as a Chrome browser extension. 
If we compare this architecture with the old Microstratgey architecture we see the additional component of MicroStrategy Library which makes all the magic of HyperIntelligence.
 Single node architecture: 

Multi Node Architecture:

Comparison between Single node i-server and multi node i-server:

HyperIntelligence Workflow 

Hover effects won’t work on mobile devices because there’s no mouse cursor. To overcome this MSTR has handled mobile links with high color and shape contrast on them so that user will know where to tap. So that it displays the cards.
I have not yet explored this feature when the email goes to external users and the data level security(security filters) work as we are not passing any security filters.Handling of row level security on the cards is still a mystery!

Personalizing file locations, email and file subscriptions using macros in Microstrategy

Personalizing file locations MSTr allows to dynamically specify the  File Location  and  Backup File Location  in a file device using macros.  For example, if you specify the  File Location  as  C:\Reports\{&RecipientName}\ ,  all subscriptions using that file device are delivered to subfolders of  C:\Reports\ . Subscribed reports or documents for each recipient are delivered to a subfolder with that recipient’s name, such as  C:\Reports\Jane Smith\  or  C:\Reports\Hiro Protagonist\ . The table below lists the macros that can be used in the  File Location  and  Backup File Location  fields in a file device: Description Macro Date on which the subscription is sent {&Date} Time at which the subscription is sent {&Time} Name of the recipient {&RecipientName} User ID (32-character GUID) of the recipient {&RecipientID} Distribution Services add...

Bursting file subscriptions Microstartegy

Bursting file subscriptions: Delivering  parts of reports across multiple files: Large MicroStrategy reports and documents are often broken up into separate pages by attributes. In a similar way, with Distribution Services, you can split up, or burst, a report or document into multiple files. When the subscription is executed, a separate file is created for each element of each attribute selected for bursting. Each file has a portion of data according to the attributes used to group data in the report (page-by axis) or document (group-by axis). Ex:, you may have a report with information for all regions. You could place Region in the page-by axis and burst the file subscription into the separate regions. This creates one report file for each region. As a second ex:, if you choose to burst your report using the Region and Category attributes, a separate file is created for each combination of Region and Category, such as Central and Books as a report, Central and Ele...

Reduce Intelligent Cube Size By Finding Intelligent Cube Objects Which Are Not In Use

Reduce Intelligent Cube Size By Finding Intelligent Cube Objects Which Are Not In Use If the i-cubes can potentially be reduced in size an audit can be performed on the cube objects to see which cube objects are not being used by any of the view reports, documents, or dossiers.   The below are examples for a few of the common metadata database platforms . NOTE: To perform this audit, queries are run against the MicroStrategy metadata database. Ensure a metadata backup is taken prior to performing the below actions. Steps: 1) Identify the object ID of the Intelligent cube to be audited by checking the objects Property window 2) Identify the object ID of the project this cube exists within by opening the Project Configuration Sample Cube ID =   CFAF1E9B4D53990698C42E87C7AF2EB5 Sample Project ID =  B7CA92F04B9FAE8D941C3E9B7E0CD754   3) Run the below SQL against the metadata database by replacing the Cube ID and Project ID within the respective ...

Case functions Microstrategy

Ca se functions Microstrategy Case functions return specified data in a SQL query based on the evaluation of user-defined conditions. In general, a user specifies a list of conditions and corresponding return values. Case This function evaluates multiple expressions until a condition is determined to be true, then returns a corresponding value. If all conditions are false, a default value is returned.  Case  can be used for categorizing data based on multiple conditions. This is a single-value function. Syntax Case ( Condition1 ,  ReturnValue1 ,  Condition2 , ReturnValue2 ,...,  DefaultValue ) Example Case(([Total Revenue] < 300000), 0, ([Total Revenue] < 600000), 1, 2) sum(Case (Day@DESC in (“Sat”,”Sun”), Sales, 0) {~+} Sum(Case(Category@DESC In("Books","Electronics"),Revenue,0)){~+} CaseV (case vector) CaseV  evaluates a single metric and returns different values according to the results. It can be used to perfo...

Non Aggregate metrics Beginning lookup, Ending lookup, Beginning fact., Ending fact

Non Aggregate metrics  Beginning lookup,  Ending lookup,  Beginning fact .,  Ending fact A nonaggregatable metric, such as an inventory metric, is one that should not be aggregated across an attribute.   For example, if you have monthly inventory numbers in your data warehouse and want to calculate the yearly inventory, adding the monthly numbers together does not provide a useful business measure. Instead, you may want to use the end-on-hand and beginning-on-hand inventory numbers to see how the total inventory changed during the year.  The following options are available: • To use the first value in the lookup table, select  Beginning lookup . • To use the last value in the lookup table, select  Ending lookup . • To use the first value in the fact table, select  Beginning fact . • To use the last value in the fact table, select  Ending fact .
