Learn how to translate end user reporting requirements into an optimal universe design to ensure that your company's Business Intelligence needs are met. A hands-on, real world approach helps you to quickly learn how to create, distribute, maintain, and optimize universes for Business Objects and Webintelligence deployments.

Target Audience
You design, create, document, maintain, and distribute BusinessObjects universes for Full Client BusinessObjects and/or WebIntelligence deployments. In this comprehensive workshop, you'll learn how to translate end user reporting requirements into an optimal universe design to ensure that your company's Business Intelligence needs are met.

Resolving Loops, Chasm and Fan Traps-Discover how to identify, understand, and resolve loops in the universe structure.

Enhancing the User Experience - Enhance he universe design to improve and simplify the user experience with Business Objects. Lean how to add, modify, or remove a list of values for an object; create custom hierarchies to simplify drilling for end users; and how to maximize design with the user of @ functions.
