Fully integrated with Veeva CRM, Studio allows users to design visualisations powered by real-time Salesforce data without relying on external editors or manual packaging.
Key Features of MyInsights Studio
- Low-Code Dashboard Builder: Studio provides an intuitive visual interface that lets users configure tables, KPIs, charts, and filters without coding. This speeds up development and empowers non-technical users to contribute to dashboard design.
- Reusable Components and Templates: With a library of modular components and industry-specific templates, teams can quickly deploy dashboards while maintaining brand consistency and reducing development time.
- Live Data Integration: Dashboards use DataService and Studio-defined field mappings to fetch and display real-time Salesforce data. This enables iterative testing and accurate data visualisation during the build process.
- Version Control and Direct Deployment: Built-in version tracking and preview features help developers manage iterations. Dashboards can be published directly to CRM environments, eliminating the need for manual deployment steps.
- Role-Based Access Control: Admins can configure user and role-level access for creation, editing, reviewing, or publishing dashboards, ensuring governance without slowing down productivity.
