Course Description

Desktop Intelligence is an integrated query, reporting and analysis solution that allows business users to access the data in their corporate databases directly from their desktop and present and analyze this information in a Desktop Intelligence document.

This course is designed to give learners comprehensive skills and core knowledge to present and analyze information, distribute documents and reports and use the major reporting features of Desktop Intelligence. After completing this course learners will be able to present information in reports as tables, as well as sophisticated dynamic documents with drillable charts. Learners will also be able to distribute documents and reports to colleagues.

This course is designed to teach learners using the XI R2 version how to create Desktop Intelligence documents using Desktop Intelligence.
