OVERVIEW

This course provides you with introductory to advanced knowledge of metadata modeling concepts, and how to model metadata for predictable reporting and analysis results using Framework Manager. You will learn the full scope of the metadata modeling process, from initial project creation, to publishing of metadata to the web and enabling end users to easily author reports and analyze data through hands-on activities.

GOALS
  • Overview of Cognos Framework Manager
  • Modeling for predictable results
  • Modeling for presentation views
  • Advanced and extended capabilities

 

While class exercises are performed within a Cognos Analytics v11.1 environment, our expert instructors can provide guidance on previous Cognos versions and their differences.
