Real-time engine can directly connect to the big data platforms on the market, achieving high performance and real-time processing of massive data.
The user's query for data will be submitted to the database for calculation, and data can be used directly without being extracted.
The engine is suitable for scenarios where there are high requirements for real-time data and the database performance is fine.
If this function is not registered:
It is not allowed to add base tables that directly connect to the database.
The existing base tables with direct connection with the database in the historical project cannot be used for calculation by the real-time engine, and previewing will prompt an error "No real-time engine has been registered".
The operations for other tables are not affected.
The distributed extraction engine can pre-extract data for offline calculation, achieving high-performance calculation and query of data in the scale of hundreds of millions or more.
It is not allowed to add base tables that extract data from the database.
The existing base tables with data extracted from the database in the historical project cannot be used for calculation by the extraction engine, and previewing will prompt an error "No extract engine has been registered".
The existing base tables with data extracted from the database stop being updated.
You can further process data in "My Analysis".
You can achieve deep analysis with functions such as filter, group summary, add column, field settings, sort, join, union all, row-column transformation, self-looping column, and field type conversion.
There is no entry to add data into the subject in my analysis and creating a new dataset is not allowed.
You can preview and use the existing datasets in the historical project, but cannot perform operations like edit, publish, move, etc.
The dashboard is a panel of visual components created for displaying data analysis. In the dashboard, you can add filtering components and other components (like tab components, web components, text components, and image components), refer to chart components, and combine drilling, linkage, jumping, and other functions to carry out online analytical processing (OLAP).

1) SMS reminder
2) Platform reminder
3) Email reminder
Some users' license file has a short valid time and need to re-register regularly. If there are missing function points in the new license file, it may cause the previously made dashboard to be unusable.
Therefore, the system will compare the new and the old license files when you register again. If there are changes in the function points, you will be notified.
It will prompt "Sure to stay registered?" and "There are changes in the new lic file function points, which may cause the project to not work properly! Please contact technical support to check the lic file."
Please carefully check whether you want to change the function points. Please contact technical support in time if there is any problem.
