Course Description
Dashboard ManagerTM enables the deployment of powerful dashboards to provide visibility, alignment and insight across the enterprise. This three-day instructor-led course provides handson 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.
