Atlas BI, a real-time business intelligence and reporting analytics tool, is an added feature currently available to all Aeon customers who are hosted by Atlas.
With Atlas BI you can filter/export data and develop reports through the use of data visualization (e.g. pivot tables, pie charts, line graphs, etc.). This cloud-based solution links directly to your Atlas hosted server without any additional setup required by you - everything is handled by Atlas.
Atlas BI is preset with over 12 different Aeon Reports. With the built-in report editor, you can create and customize reports unique to your institution directly from the web. Each report has been designed to reflect the requirements and best practices of the Standardized Statistical Measures and Metrics for Public Services in Archival Repositories and Special Collections Libraries.
Based on your personnel workflows, some of these reports may not apply to you. If you don't collect a particular set of data, you have the option to hide or modify the report.
