Abstract: A data visualization is surfaced with user input mechanisms that are actuated to change data aggregation parameters. User actuation of the user input mechanisms is detected and data is dynamically extracted from an underlying computing system and dynamically aggregated, based upon the modified aggregation parameters. A modified visualization is then generated, having a modified layout to display extracted data, aggregated based upon the modified aggregation parameters.

Abstract: A report link with security permissions is provided that generates a report personalized to a user's security permissions on-demand. A report service providing the functionality of a business intelligence system can create a uniform resource locator (URL) for a report. The URL may be generated to reference an application server, a report name, and a report identifier. An output file type can be passed through the URL to indicate how the report is to be viewed. A same report link may be distributed to users having different security permissions, while being used to render different viewable reports according to each user's permissions. When a client requests a report located at the URL, the report service performs a check of the roles/permissions of the user and arranges the report view for the user by combining sections of the report snapshot according to the roles/permissions of the client.
