MAP KEY FEATURES
If you think of it… We can deliver it!
MODULES
Modules provide fully extensible functionality for Importing, Pre-Processing, Calculating,
Invalidating and Creating Items. Multiple instances of each module can run on separate
servers providing true scalability.
CALCULATION QUEUE
The Calculation Queue is a list of all Raw and Calculated Items that are due to be re-
calculated as a consequence of new data being received or an Item Property changing.
ALARMS
Configurable alarms for any Items or for the entire system.
REPORTS
Scheduled e-mailing of management reports. Only available as part of an overall
hosted service.
RESTful API
A fully featured RESTful Analytics API is available to configure, upload and download
your application.
UNLIMITED GROUPING HIERARCHY
For standard applications the Group hierarchy has up to four tiers. For larger corporate
applications, this hierarchy can have an unlimited number of tiers.
