This training provides participants with knowledge of metadata modeling concepts and how to model metadata using IBM Cognos Analytics. Participants will learn the full scope of the metadata modeling process, from creating Data source connections, creating Data modules, to the sharing of metadata to other users, facilitating reports and analyses by themselves and colleagues.

Note: Guided eLearning is a self-paced offering which includes web-based content for self-study and videos (including audio) that demonstrate activities.
