BOD210 - BusinessObjects Dashboard Manager XI R1/R2:
Designing Dashboards (formerly PM310R2)

Course Description

BusinessObjects Dashboard Manager XI enables the deployment of powerful dashboards to provide visibility, alignment and insight across the enterprise. This three-day instructor-led course provides hands-on activities that take you step-by-step from setting up the metric universe and Performance Management repository to guiding navigation through a corporate dashboard. As a business benefit, by understanding not only Dashboard Manager functionality, but also the workflow involved among the different roles in a dashboard deployment (system administrator, universe designer, performance management designer) you will know exactly what needs to be in place before you can perform tasks, and if not, who you should talk to.
