This documentation is intended for product managers and developers. For product managers who want to enhance their products and applications with Sisense embedded analytics, this section describes the features and functionality Sisense offers as part of an embedded analytics solution. For developers who embed Sisense in the application, this section describes how to embed Sisense analytics.

OEM Deployments

OEM deployments include rebranding and embedding.

Rebranding Sisense

Sisense enables you to customize the Sisense UI to display your company's unique branding and suit your company’s look and feel.

White Labeling

Sisense white labeling enables you to replace the Sisense logo and name, change the color palette used by the application, customize the emails sent by the system, and more. When white labeling Sisense , you completely rebrand a Sisense deployment for your customers. They aren't necessarily aware that the analytics they are accessing is actually a Sisense server.

Customizing the User Interface

Sisense enables you to customize the Sisense UI to display your company's unique branding. Update brand and text colors, fonts, and more to match your desired look and feel.

Embedding Sisense

If you have your own web application, you can embed Sisense within it. Sisense supports embedding the full Sisense application, including the data modeling, analytics, and administration areas. You can also choose to embed specific dashboards and widgets into your application and you can embed widgets within web pages.

Embedding Options

Each organization has their own requirements when white labeling, rebranding, and embedding Sisense ’s analytic solution and BI capabilities based on their use-case.

There are three methods for embedding Sisense into your website or application:

iFrames
Sisense Embed SDK
Sisense.JS

Use this table to determine which approach fits your use case:

Method	iFrames	Embed SDK	Sisense.js
Skill level	Basic HTML	Javascript	Javascript
Time to deployment	Very fast	Fast	Medium
Flexibility	Limited	Medium	High
What can be embedded	Entire UI, dashboards	Entire UI, dashboards, widget editor	Individual widgets, filters panel
Best use case	Simple static embedding	Interactive embedding of entire dashboards	Embedding individual widgets, custom layouts

To learn more about the best approach for you, see below and the Sisense Developers’ Guide.

iFrames

This is the quickest and easiest way to embed Sisense dashboards into your web application. Using iFrames is a great solution for simple embedding use-cases and Sisense has built-in support for it. You can even append query parameters to the dashboard’s URL to adjust the UI, as needed.

For implementation information, see the Sisense Dev site.

Sisense Embed SDK

The Sisense Embed SDK enables tighter integration with the host application with minimal code. Delivered as a JavaScript library, the Embed SDK minimizes developer resources to manage complex communication between the host application and embedded analytics. The Embed SDK is an abstracted embedded interface that wraps an iFrame element. With the Sisense Embed SDK you can programmatically:

Render a Sisense iFrame element or hook to an existing one
Subscribe to various events fired within Sisense
Execute commands like adding and removing filters, or exporting dashboards
Access information about the state of the Sisense application within the iFrame

The SDK removes all the hassle and risk and significantly speeds up development and integration.

For implementation information, see the Sisense Developer site.

SisenseJS

SisenseJS is a JavaScript library for embedding individual Sisense widgets and filters in web applications without needing to use iFrames.

With the SisenseJS library, you can:

Load Sisense runtime anywhere, without iFrames
Load dashboards in runtime
Render all, part, and new widgets in any DOM container
Embed Sisense visualizations into your mobile applications

For implementation information, see the Sisense Developer Guide .
