IBM Cognos Analytics 12: Modeling with Data Modules [TDS_B7320G]

OVERVIEW

This course provides a high-level overview of the IBM Cognos Analytics v12 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 v12 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 managing relationships, advanced features and performance optimization, data enrichment with calculations and filters, creating groups and navigation paths, and managing data security.

Learners will gain hands-on experience through exercises that enhance their ability to create and customize data modules, review and modify column properties, creating calculations, filters and data groups, and adding column dependencies. These hands on activities ensure learners practice 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-making within the IBM Cognos v12 environment.
