Getting Started

The guide below describes how to download and install the latest RAPID BI Sisense Addons from the RAPID BI Members Area.

A pre-requirement to use RAPID BI Sisense Add-Ons is to install and configure the RAPID Plugins Manager. The process is the same as installing the individual Add-Ons except that you will also need to input your license key.

Downloading Add-Ons from the Members Area

If your order includes access to Sisense Add-On(s), you can now download the add-on files from our Members Area.

Choose My Account, then click on the product/license. 

Then click Downloads on the left-top to see all related downloads. Do NOT rely on the Latest Download section as that will only download a single Add-On. Please click the Downloads tab.

Download the RAPID BI Plugins Manager and any RAPID BI Add-Ons that you would like to use.

Configuring the Plugins Manager

The RAPID Plugins Manager must be enabled in your Sisense instance for RAPID BI Add-ons to function.

Download and unzip the files.

Within the RAPID Plugins Manager, the file licenses.js needs to be modified to include your license key. The license key was emailed to you and is also available to you in the RAPID BI Members Area.

If you need help installing add-ons please contact us. We are happy to jump on an online meeting with screenshare and walk you through it.

The license key will work for one Sisense instance initially. If you have multiple Sisense instances (e.g Prod and Dev servers), please advise us of the URLs for the additional instance(s) and we will enable the license key to work on these also.

Now follow the Sisense instructions for uploading/enabling add-ins (https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/sisense-add-ons.htm).

To access File Manager

You may need to first enable it under Admin -> App Configuration -> Feature Management -> Management and toggle File Management on.

Sisense Version 2023.9 onwards:

Admin tab->App Configuration->File Management

For older Sisense versions:

Admin tab->Server & Hardware->System Management-> File Management (button)

Note: If the File Management button is not visible to you under Admin > Server & Hardware > System Management then you may need to first enable it under Admin -> App Configuration -> Feature Management -> Management and toggle File Management on.
