Advanced Row-Level Security
Row-level security gives you precise control over which rows each user can access. This guide walks through advanced row-level security features and practical examples: passing multiple values, numeric and date ranges, handling multiple security groups and datasets in a single dashboard, plus nested Boolean logic. Follow these patterns to implement flexible, secure row filtering in your dashboards.

A Connection is a link established between Qrvey and an external data source.
Content Deployment
This video provides an in-depth overview of the Content Deployment feature in the Qrvey Admin Center. It provides an overview of each component of Content Deployment (Servers, Packages, Deployment Definitions and Deployment Jobs), and it demonstrates how to use these components to deploy content to a Qrvey instance. It also describes how to update existing content using the Content Deployment feature.
Content Deployment - Commingled Data
Content Deployment enables you to copy the contents of a source Qrvey application, then pass it into a new target application.
Content Deployment - Segregated Data
Content Deployment enables you to copy the contents of a source Qrvey application, then pass it into a new target application.
Content Deployment Overview
In Qrvey, Content Deployment refers to the process of copying content from one application to another, in the same environment or to a different one. In a multi-tenant deployment, use Content Deployment to manage the data, content, and generated Qrvey objects.
Content Publishing
This video describes how to publish the dashboards that you create in Qrvey Composer so that they are available to end users. It covers both embedded and non-embedded scenarios. Features discussed include Publish, Unpublish, Embed, and Live Preview. This video also describes how to use the Navigation feature in Dashboards, as well as an overview of the appid and pageid parameters.
Customize Widget Styles
By customizing the appearance of a Qrvey widgets in your application, you can provide a more native presentation within your product.
Data Cleansing
Well-designed dataset transformations prevent fragmented insights and keep dashboards truthful. By applying the following techniques to ensure that your charts reflect reality, not accidental string differences.
Data Engineer
As a data engineer, you use Qrvey to design, implement, and optimize data solutions tailored to your organization’s business objectives. Data engineers design scalable data pipelines that can integrate different data sources. When deployed, the Qrvey platform helps your teams to manage data efficiently and create advanced analytics.
Deployment Definitions
A Deployment Definition is a set of instructions for a deployment job. It defines the package version to use, which content from the package to include, and whether any of the content has to be modified during deployment. You can configure the deployment definition to create a new application or to update an existing application.
Deployment Jobs
A deployment job executes the type of deployment specified by one or more deployment definitions against one or more target servers. Deployment jobs consist of blocks of instructions, with each block configuring the deployment of one deployment definition to any number of users on one destination server. That enables you to use one deployment job to deploy multiple applications to as many users as necessary, on multiple environments. Deployment jobs require at least one block.
Design Your Data Pipeline
After you've installed the Qrvey Platform, you will want to architect your data pipeline. This article highlights best practices regarding how your data gets imported into Qrvey, optimized for visualizations, and refreshed over time.

Internationalization, Step By Step
Introduction
Intro to Internationalization
Qrvey platform supports internationalization and localization for end users in a comprehensive manner. Multi-lingual support is offered for both “static” and “dynamic” text, as well as formatting of numbers and dates based on regions and cultures.
Intro to Multi-tenant Deployments
SaaS organizations that want to embed self-service analytics within their core applications to support a multi-tenant deployment should think about the following considerations:
Intro to Qrvey

Multi-Tenancy Architecture
This video discusses multi-tenancy architecture of the Qrvey platform for SaaS organizations. Includes a demonstration of a parent application that embeds a Qrvey application in a multi-tenant environment. Topics covered include:
Multi-tenant Dataset Architecture
The first step with any self-service embedded analytics implementation is to design, develop and then populate the datasets that will become the sources for all charts, metrics and visualizations created in the platform. SaaS organizations building datasets for multi-tenant deployments of embedded analytics must think about the following topics with respect to the data architecture:
Multi-tenant Security Architecture
Qrvey’s approach to multi-tenant security architecture is to use the assert model for both authentication and authorization. The assert model effectively allows you to maintain your existing user accounts, roles/groups and permissions, and then declare a user’s identity and permissions to the Qrvey platform dynamically at runtime. The ability to assert/declare a user’s identity and access permissions is favorable when embedding third party platforms in your core application for a multi-tenancy deployment, because it means that you will not need to redefine and replicate your existing security schema.
OAuth as the OpenID Provider
Before Creators can use the OpenID provider to log in, you must set up your OpenID provider account to integrate with Qrvey.
Packages and Versions
Within an application's package (objects housed within the source application), you can create a version (snapshot) that contains all of the application content and dependencies. As the source application changes over time, you can use the same package to create subsequent versions.
