This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Groupings of directly related attributes. Also commonly known as "dimensions".






2. All Attributes must have an _______.






3. Tables - Facts - Attributes - Hierarchies






4. Facts - Attributes - Hierarchies






5. A condition data must meet in order to be included in a report. Does affect the SQL.






6. Create attribute ID form - Create attribute description forms - Select lookup table(s) - Create attribute relationships






7. May include 1 or more functions as operators - Based on the attributes and metrics in the Report Objects window - May be Simple or Compound






8. Store info about attributes - including IDs and any descriptions. Used for easier browsing.






9. OLAP data storage measure






10. Level of OLAP integration






11. Simple - Compound - Nested - Derived






12. Metrics you create within a report using only those objects in the report.






13. View Filters are saved with the _____________.






14. Allow you to interact with the BI system - logically organize data to analyze complex relationships






15. Fact Creation Wizard: Used to create simple - homogeneous facts - Fact Editor: Used to create derived - heterogeneous facts






16. Columns - Tables






17. Attributes - Metrics - Hierachies - Consolidations - Custom Groups - Object Prompts






18. They store the column data type - and must be changed when creating a derived fact expression with conflicting data types






19. If you need to ____________ based on a specific Attribute Form - that form should be its own attribute.






20. Grid View - Graph View - Grid/Graph View - SQL View






21. Up: To see data at a higher-level attribute of the same hierarchy - Down: To see data at a lower-level attribute of the same hierarchy - Other Directions: To see data at any level of any hierarchy






22. Enables you to further narrow down a report view - using only those objects in the report without altering the SQL of the report query. They are executed after-the-fact.






23. Simple: 1 fact to 1 column - Derived: 1 fact to an expression that combines multiple facts to create a derived expression






24. Enables you to select and display subsets of a report as separate pages.






25. It contains the ID column of the parent attribute

37. Enables you to specify the order in which the data in a report for a particular row/column appears; ascending or descending






38. The System Hierarchy is automatically updated whenever you make a change to an __________________.






39. Data is read-only - Data is aligned by business subject - Data formatting is uniform - Data is long-term data (2-5+ years)






40. More storage - Complex SQL - Simple ETL






41. 1 - Quick Sort: Only accessible from Grid view 2 - Advanced Sort: Available in Grid or Graph views






42. Creating multiple attributes quickly. Used during the initial project creation.






43. To see data at completely different levels - other than that of the original Grid or Graph






44. To define the level of aggregation for a specific metric - Used for qualifications






45. Represent business performance. Typically numeric. Must be aggregated to produce a meaningful result. Are directly linked to columns in the data-warehouse.






46. Enables you to search for a specific Object or group of Objects that meet a certain criteria.
