What Is SmartView?
SmartView is the Windows online analytical processing (OLAP) module of NGS-IQ. Users can transform NGS-IQ query output into multidimensional models without requiring a database administrator or skilled consultant, writing formulas, programs, or scripts. The data is read-only so it can’t be changed.
Its point-and-click formatting allows viewing the data in many ways without rerunning the query. Customers appreciate that SmartView significantly reduces the need to create new queries or revise existing ones.
