What it does
InetSoft's StyleBI combines visual data-transformation pipelines with dashboards, analytical exploration and paginated reporting. Access includes a free self-hosted core and individual cloud entry, plus commercial cloud and Enterprise options.
StyleBI combines visual data preparation, dashboards and paginated reports. A team can run the community core itself or buy a hosted or Enterprise arrangement.
| Access route | Operating and charging model |
|---|---|
| Free core | Self-hosted software; individual cloud entry is also available |
| Cloud App | Shared session-hour capacity for an organization |
| Cloud Dedicated | Dedicated hosting charged by virtual-core usage |
| Enterprise Self-Hosted | Commercial core-based or alternative licensing |
The self-hosted repository uses AGPL-3.0. Its Docker setup requires an administrator password before startup, followed by a local administrator login. This is separate from the hosted service's account and capacity arrangement.
Reports and their supporting assets can be moved together. In Enterprise Manager > Settings > Content > Repository, select assets and choose Export. Enter a ZIP filename and choose which dependencies to include before exporting. This keeps a report's required objects with the handoff instead of transferring only its visible layout.
Where reports use cached data, the cache's refresh schedule also determines which source changes appear in the output.
