Web Design API 

Purpose

Business Explorer Web application design allows you to apply generic OLAP navigation to BI data in Web applications and Business Intelligence cockpits. You can implement this for all scenarios, from simple scenarios to highly specialized scenarios. You can use standard markup languages and Web Design API to implement highly individual scenarios with user-defined interface elements. Web application design comprises a broad spectrum of interactive Web-based business intelligence scenarios that you can adjust to meet your requirements by using standard Web technologies.

This document is intended for Web designers who want to create highly-specialized applications on the basis of Web application design.

Integration

You can access BI data in Web applications using a Web browser. This is usually installed with the operating system. No additional software installation is required.
