Analysis Tools 2.0 - REST API Backendserver
To use the REST API your IT team has to setup the Rest API backend server
The REST API Server is designed as report json file storage and data extraction storage for data analytics. It support a simple user management and the upload and download of reports between users depending on their rights. It also allows to upload backups.
The setup has do be done by the client the backend server uses NodeJs with SQL to store the data. The communication is done using REST APIs. The usage of the server does not impact the offline functionality of the application as even with the server the application is offline first. All interaction is done when the user is logged in and reports have to be uploaded and downloaded explicitly. Compared to the file driven approach to secure reports they can no be exchanged directly from within the application.
