Quote: If I don’t have hypercards turned on right now, I feel a little naked.

Hypercard can key off of:

• location
• customer

• etc

This can be connected using a number of pre-configured templates from multiple data sources. You can even setup synonym matching etc.

Demo

• Went to a data set
  • pulled the dataset. Setup synonyms
  • dragged and dropped the metrics to the card (goals, fouls, yellow cards, etc.)
  • Saved it as an object
  • Took the card and setup security access
  • Note: can get the hyperintelligence component in Chrome
    • This embeds the existing cards throughout
    • In the demo, he showed how a search on a football player yielded embedded results in a card you can hover over
