SAP Visual Intelligence: Clearing Some Confusion #SAPVisi

[TammyPowlas]

I was on a webcast the other week that said the following:

1) Visual Intelligence only supports .CSV, Excel and HANA as a data source

This is not correct, as it also supports the Universe and Free Hand SQL:

Source: SAP

Note the databases supported also includes DB2

2) Visual Intelligence does not support Heat Maps

That is not correct either as it supports Heat Maps and Tree Maps.  The pictures below show DVD rentals by city.

Another tip:

You can search for Visual Intelligence notes now (hat-tip to frank.bannert  frank.rambo of SAP)

http://service.sap.com/notes

Search by application component BI-DD-SVI

Releases for Visual Intelligence are fast and furious so stay tuned.
