CUTLER Front-end manual

CUTLER Front-end Manual: The CUTLER platform provides a combination of data-driven and model-driven approaches and visual-based decision support for policy making, through a big data processing and visualization environment. The platform is a multi-tenant solution that integrates the visualization widgets for assessing the economic, environmental and social impact of policy making developed in WP4,5,6 and allows public authorities to define and implement their policies through the lens of the IAMER approach. In each city, different user groups can be defined, including admin, designers and analysers. These users require different features while they are using the platform. The manual describes how to use the CUTLER platform to create IAMER-based dashboards for managing new policies.
