About this tutorial
This tutorial is aimed at users who have not previously used the product. The tutorial provides an introduction to the basics, and to some more complex topics and is intended to provide a foundation for further training or self-study.
The tutorial uses the dimensions and hierarchies of the Analysis cube of the Samples application. The Samples application must be installed in the Applications dashboard in EPM Administration.
In the interests of brevity, the concepts and techniques described in each section are not repeated in subsequent sections. Therefore, you may need to refer back to previous sections.
The reports that this tutorial instructs you to create are reproduced in in the report catalog of the Samples application.
Each report is built on a copy of the previous report. Not every step that is described is saved in a report. Therefore, we recommend that you create the reports yourself, rather than read the tutorial and refer to the source of the reports.
These global variables are used by the sample reports:
- gv_Measure2
- gv_ProductLevel2
- gv_Region2
- gv_Time2
During the tutorial, you can use these variables, or create your own.
The Samples application can be enabled in on-premises environments. The Samples application is not available in the Infor cloud.
