I'm looking for ideas / open source frameworks to use for creating individual Analytics for user profiles and all the other profile types. Users will have different custom metrics, businesses willl have seperate metrics, the admin section will have seperate, Advertises will have seperate, etc. So basically the goal is to have 1 framework in place for all Analytics, which will be custom user to user and even use that for the system analytic needs also. It will include data analytics as there will be user ratings/reviews to perfomr data mining on for businesses, USers will have basic reporting on their needs (like friend demographics, filter by different preferences, etc).
System is being developed in cakePhp.
Thanks.
Check out myDBR reporting tool. With myDBR you can easily create reports and include them into your application. myDBR is also written in PHP and can easily be integrated into any existing web-application via Single-Sign On authentication.

Does jBASE support web sockets or any other similar technology to offer real-time interaction capabilities? For example, if I am creating a web based dashboard, can I show real time updates on the charts with a jBASE backend?
Please note, this answer applies to the Zumasys iteration of jBASE not the Temenos T24 flavor.
As of jBASE 5.7.10, jBASE supports building web based dashboards like this by utilizing the jAgent module to create RESTful APIs that you can use to serve traffic from your jBASE system. You can read more about jAgent at our Introduction to jAgent guide and you can see more about the the PICK libraries we provide for REST API development at our APIs page.
You may also be interested in our full-stack-with-pick tutorial on GitHub, which includes lessons on:
How to set up demo data in jBASE
How to set up REST API get endpoints
How to set up a simple Vue.js environment
How to display a database record with Vue.js
This would give you a recipe on building APIs to access the information you're looking to convey in a dashboard, as well as an idea of how to begin working on the dashboard (as it so happens there are many great, free Vue.js based dashboards available on the internet).
For what it is worth we are evaluating expanding the protocols and technology available within the next iteration of jAgent, including but not limited to a look at implementing web sockets.
We are developing a multitenant application with shared schema for a web application. I would like to know the best practices for designing UI strategies.
We will have different roles for saas owners like Adminsitrators, Helpdesk, Account Manager so The SAAS owner may need to have multiple users who will acess the application and do their job.
HelpDesk: If a tenant put up a ticket, helpdesk team shall be able to view and solve.
Account management: Account Managers may need to access the payment information of the tenants for following up the tenants.
ServiceManagers: To perform maintenance and upgrades etc.
In this case
Do we need to have different UI for "Saas owner" and "Tenants" or is it better to manage it with permissions and roles?
Any best practices?
There are many facets to decide on the mode of delivery
In case you prefer to use Micro FrontEnds, admin and tenant functions can be separate. However, the individual functions like help desk,Accounts management can be a separate micro frontend
There should be options for a tenant to white label the UI (custom logo, custom theme, custom layout (more development effort)) etc.
With or without micro frontends, your UI layer should be working based on the permissions that comes as an aggregation of the user's roles (even across tenants).
The UI always has probes to the API to get the permissions and render the various UI components based on the granted permissions to the user.
We used to build custom UI components like custom grid, custom forms etc so that the permissions could be used to show or hide the various UI elements based on the permissions that a user might posses.
Ex: In the context of a Administrator, I will be able to see all the team members, but in the context of a Service Administrator, I will be able to assign members to various tenant functions like help desk, accounting etc which the Administrator will not be able to perform, but can view the mappings.
Similarly, your business requirements will drive the UI, hence if you follow using the permissions for the UI, it is always very fine-grained and easy to manage than depending upon higher levels of abstraction like Roles.

Background:
ETL on source data from Excel, Access, Sql Server '8, .txt files.
Data Cloud is created
Dashboard is in progress
I have searched online because I remember seeing a marketting demo video by QlikView that it's possible to share the dashboard among other users. Not just a snapshot image or pdf. The real dashboard as a working file.
If client pcs receive a link to connect to the same data cloud via web - that's easy.
But what I want to know, is it possible to package and "port" the entire working file with underlying data to another person? (I am not asking for zipping!)
Depending on if you've purchased a license for Qlikview, there are several ways to approach this... Best case scenario for you is if you and the client you want to send the .qvw to both have Named licenses, you can just send them the file and they'll be able to open it in their licensed Personal Edition. I'm imagining this is not the case since you mentioned they are clients and not colleagues within your organization.
You need to know that if the client or you do not own licenses, you will not be able to share a working version of your dashboard with them.
The common implementation would be purchasing Qlikview Server Software and then deploying a Qlikview server in the cloud that would handle incoming web requests and provide clients with an access point from which to access your dashboards (and underlying data). This solution requires you (or your company) to have purchased a set of licenses from Qlik as well as Server software.
You can review Qlik's license structure here. You may also want to review their End User License Agreement to make sure their model works for what you are trying to do.
I have a web portal in which I create content for different clients. For example, I have articles about dentist A, or car mechanic A, with each targeting different keywords on these pages.
Is there a reporting or web analytics tool that would allow me to create reports by keyword and/or certain webpages and allow clients to log in and see this information?
For example, a report that would show all the Dentist keywords, and another all keywords for Mechanic.
Currently I am using Google Analytics, but is not very user friendly for this type of reporting. What I am doing now is logging in to my GA account, creating a report for the keywords and emailing to client, which is not very efficient.
I am wondering if anyone knows about a pixel tracking reporting package out there for this need or any other way of getting the clients this information.
While searching online I found this link which gives you a list of the top free web analytics tools.
I choose to work with statcounter which is exactly what I was looking for. I can open a free account for a client and include their tracking script on individual pages.
We are working on new requirement where we need to enable features based on contract with the client. It`s a Saas based software and support multi tenancy. The software by default have basic features enabled.
Basic features
Customer management
Basic billing/invoicing
Notification via email
Payments
Advance feature
Notification over SMS
Workflow
Etc
All the client serviced by same software (Obviously same deployment ) but data will be stored on different database schema.
How to handle basic, advanced, add on, and pro feature in this case?
We are using spring and hibernate.
AFAIK, you should be handling these internally in your application so that the features like notification, workflow are marked as application features and for each tenant, there will be a mapping between the tenant id and the feature so that the tenant has access only to the features that he is subscribed to.
So, when a tenant or his user logs in to the system, we identify the features and the contents that he can access and then show them to the user. This is called as a tenant licensing system.
Also, whenever a feature is consumed, your code should be recording the tenant that consumed that feature and by how much and when and there can be cost associated with units of usage measurements.
For more detailed discussion, please refer here
Though these are all explained in C#, there should be no hinderance in the conceptual understanding.
