IBM Cognos 8 BI Metrics Manager: Design Scorecards (v8.4) is a three-day, instructor-led course in which you will learn how to plan, create, set up, and maintain scorecard applications using Cognos Metric Studio. You will load data from supported data sources using Cognos Metric Designer, as well as using alternative data loading methods such as flat files and SQL scripts. You will also learn how to secure objects within the scorecard application, as well as the application itself.
