Rocket Visionary contains the following three components:
With the Visionary Development Studio's simple drag and drop controls, you can rapidly create, test and publish a "world" of your own.
In addition, graphical 'motifs' can be nested indefinitely (e.g. pie charts upon bars within maps etc.,). Rocket Visionary also supports customized 'templates', allowing you to build your own chart types from a wide array of graphical primitives.
Create Visionary Dashboards to display multiple business indicators at one time, and include multi-layered, dynamic scenes that allow the end user to interact with the scene and drill-down to new levels of detail.
Once a "world" is published, users can access it either through the Visionary program installed on their client or through the web via the Visionary applet plug-in.
The Visionary World Server provides all components necessary to enable your application server (Information Server) to serve up the "worlds" you create to web users both inside and outside a firewall.
Visionary can be viewed through the Visionary application installed on any PC or through a web browser.
Visionary Web User provides a lightweight (900 KB) Java Applet needed to browse and interact with a published world over the Internet using HTTP or HTTPS. This is a no cost item that is used in conjunction with the Visionary World server. Published Visionary Worlds can be easily accessed through a simple URL or web link.
Visionary End User (non-web) provides the components needed to browse and interact with a published "world" in a self-contained or client/server environment, communicating directly with one or more databases. End user access to a Visionary "world" requires one-time set up of an ODBC connection to the database(s). After that, the connection to the databases occur under-the-covers and Visionary reports are displayed in real-time. Visionary Worlds can be stored like any other files for access at anytime.
Visionary Solutions can be optionally set up to require end-user logon.
