Sisense Add-ons
Sisense add-ons/plug-ins enable you to extend the functionality and capabilities of your Sisense dashboard through standard web development languages such as JavaScript and HTML.
Sisense offers both free and premium add-ons. You can find free add-ons in the Sisense Community, and free and premium add-ons are located in the Sisense Marketplace .
The Sisense Marketplace contains add-ons that have been developed and are supported by Sisense.
Sisense recommends not modifying certified add-ons. If you want to change them, duplicate the add-on, rename it (including the internal label), and modify the duplicate version of the add-on. The upgrade process creates a backup copy of all add-ons, which can be restored if needed
In addition to Sisense and Community add-ons, you can develop your own with the Sisense JavaScript API. For more information about developing Sisense add-ons, see JavaScript API & Plugins .
