This course is designed to give you comprehensive skills and in-depth knowledge to plan and create reports that will help you analyze and interpret information.

As a business benefit, you will be able to increase your understanding of formulas, variables, arrays, templates, parameters, summaries, and sections - which will help you make more effective report design decisions and create more efficient reports.

This two-day instructor-led course explains how to perform the tasks in the central management console (CMC). These tasks involve supporting BusinessObjects Enterprise users and groups so they can access corporate data through the web portal in BusinessObjects Enterprise. This corporate data can take the form of Crystal Reports, BusinessObjects Web Intelligence, or Desktop Intelligence documents, OLAP Intelligence reports, program objects, object packages, and popular third-party objects, such as Microsoft Word and Excel files, among others.

This one-day instructor-led course is designed to provide you with an understanding of how to create models that are linked to live data sources. By the end of the course, you will understand what methods for connectivity are available within Crystal Xcelsius and which connectivity method to use in specific situations. You will have the opportunity to practice creating different types of models through a series of workshops.

Web Intelligence is a query, reporting and analysis tool that allows report designers to access the data in their corporate databases directly from within BusinessObjects Enterprise InfoView and to present and analyze this information in a Web Intelligence document.

This three-day instructor-led course explains and demonstrates what each server component in BusinessObjects Enterprise does and how it is configured. You will install and configure each component and learn how information flows from server to server for system processes such as logging on to the system, scheduling reports and viewing reports. You will learn to use the Central Management Console (CMC) and the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) to manage and configure the servers and will also practice troubleshooting system problems when they arise.

This course is designed to give learners comprehensive skills and in-depth knowledge to plan and create reports that will help them analyze and interpret information.

As a business benefit, learners will find that their increased understanding of report processing, formulas, custom functions and subreports will help them make more effective report design decisions and create more efficient reports.
