Introduction to the Custom Visualization Tool

The Custom Visualization Tool is a command line development tool written in Node.js that leverages the latest front-end technology stack. It is designed to help users quickly and easily create the file and folder structure of a visualization plug-in, as well as improve the development and debugging experience.

The Custom Visualization Tool is replacing Visualization Builder in the MicroStrategy 2021 release. Visualization Builder can still be used in the 2019 and 2020 releases, but is no longer supported in version 2021 and up.

The Custom Visualization Tool contains the following features:

  • Supports all features in Visualization Builder
  • Allows you to instantly build and preview visualizations
  • Automatically generates boilerplates
  • Supports ECMAScript 6+ syntax
  • Allows you to debug code using source maps
  • Supports ESLint, Sass, Git, etc.
