Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
Strategy's map integration solutions offers support for ESRI cloud-based Map, ESRI on-premises map and Google Maps that allow users to manipulate and analyze your mapped BI data. The table below summarizes the features that are supported for each Map integration solution.
Please note that ESRI cloud based map only works for Visual Insight and Flash mode. ESRI on-premises map requires users to purchase an on-premise ArcGIS server from ESRI or to use a publically available ESRI server.
For more information regarding deploying and configuring these map integration solutions, please refer to the Strategy GIS Integration Help, which can be accessed by navigating to the Strategy Product Manuals, then clicking on GIS Integration Help. For Strategy Analytics Enterprise, this manual is also here.
