IBM Cognos Analytics: Modeling with Data Modules (v11.2) [TDS_B6320G]

OVERVIEW

This course provides a high-level overview of the IBM Cognos Analytics Data Module tool and its underlying architecture to provide learners with the skills necessary to master data modeling using the web-based, self-service capabilities of IBM Cognos Analytics Data Modules. Learners will explore the essential steps in building data modules, from understanding the purpose and workflow of data modeling to creating, refining, and optimizing data structures. The course covers various topics, including relationship joins, data enrichment with calculations and filters, creating navigation paths, and managing data security.

Learners will gain hands-on experience through exercises that enhance their ability to create and customize data modules, ensuring consistency and usability for reporting, dashboarding, and exploration purposes.

By the end of this course, learners should be proficient in developing data modules that integrate multiple data sources, support business analysis, and facilitate informed decision[1]making within the IBM Cognos environment.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
