I guess under the “Other Products” section, but honestly I think there also should be a main section for “Building Dashboards” right above or under “Building Reports”.
Anyone agree? Say so.

Well… it’s being rolled into Lumira, so perhaps the “Lumira / Visual Intelligence” area would be appropriate?

[Moderator note - moved to the About Bob forum]I guess as a minimum we’re waiting for the Lumira/Design Studio merger. If we get a lot of feedback in this post we’d be happy to put a forum at the top level. We do not get a lot of posts, though, for either Lumira or Design Studio.

Would be nice to have a separate area for Design Studio/Lumira

Maybe more Design Studio / Lumira designer topics would be posted if there were a section. I tell people this is the go-to site for BOBJ questions because of the number of experts that frequent this site. Design Studio (Lumira Designer, or whatever they change the name to) is the BOBJ direction for future dashboarding. But if you are currently building a Design Studio dashboard and want to post a question, if you come here, you are lost as to where to post. And you get the feeling that this is not the place to be.

Sure, there is certainly an argument for that. Keep the feedback coming.
Nick Daniels (BOB member since 2002-08-15)
I would not be opposed to having a forum for Lumira/Design Studio. When the products merge into Lumira Designer, we could simply rename the forum.

So… just rename the existing Lumira / Visual Intelligence forum?
joepeters (BOB member since 2002-08-29)
That is part of it…who knows what the ‘new’ tool will be. But also there is a reference to making the forum a top level one - as opposed to buried in Other products
Nick Daniels (BOB member since 2002-08-15)
I know from SAP that the new tool where current Lumira and current Design Studio will be integrated into a one product will be called Lumira 2.0
It should be released sometimes in the 2nd half of this year if I am not mistaken.

Ha, yeah now it is going to be called ‘Lumira 2.0’…but when it is actually released my money is on ‘Bernard’…
Nick Daniels (BOB member since 2002-08-15)
it could also very well be Two different Client tools and just One Server (Runtime Addon)…
viru4808 (BOB member since 2008-01-09)
Well, but still 2 separate client tools!
Andreas 
(BOB member since 2002-06-20)
Eh? But why?
Nick Daniels (BOB member since 2002-08-15)
The verdict is out on Lumira 2.0, seen a demo of both tools at a conference earlier this week.
Old Product New Product BO Add on
Lumira Lumira Discovery One combined
Design Studio Lumira Designer Lumira Run-time
Both tools will being using common file format maybe *.lums; Discovery is being showcased as Self Serve model where analysts could draft a story and then pass it to Developers/Designers to work up a finished Enterprise Dashboard/Application with additional scripting/functionality if required.
No backward compatibility from Designer to Discovery yet but planned for 2.1/2.2
viru4808 (BOB member since 2008-01-09)
What is the verdict?
Nick Daniels (BOB member since 2002-08-15)
On the webinar now.
As a Tableau\PowerBI\SAS VA\LogiAnalytics\Spotfire user, all I can say is hmmmmmm.

Have you seen Antivia’s DecisionPoint yet?
Fills the gap IDS/Acusend filled back when DAS/BCA were rubbish.
Yes mate, we used to sell it at Acuma for a short while. I nearly went to work for them (my old boss at Crystal is one of their main guys and the other main guy is ex-Acuma - same guys that wrote Acusend)!
It`s a good bit of kit.

Reading between the lines here I am seeing the word “Disappointing”. I would have liked to have seen “Good Enough” as a minimum.
