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






11. An environment in which the MSTR Desktop connects directly to the Metadata database.






12. Attribute Qualification: A condition an attribute element must meet - Set Qualification: To restrict report results based on a Metric - Shortcut to a Report: A resultset of an existing report - Shortcut to a Filter: To use 1 or more existing filters






13. Direct: A parent > child relationship - Indirect: 2 or more attributes are related only through a fact or set of facts






14. You can _____________ in the Architect Graphical Interface.






15. Groupings of directly related attributes. Also commonly known as "dimensions".






16. Prompts to specify the level of a metric. They are not placed directly on a report - but rather embeded in a metric.






17. Folder List - Object Viewer - Shortcut Bar

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






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






27. Include 1 or more aggregate functions - Based on 1 or more facts or attributes - Include a specified level at which they are calculated - May include conditions - May include transformations






28. Provide convenient paths for browsing attribute data - as defined by the user. They don't follow the logical model. May not consist of directly related attributes.






29. View Filters can only ___________.






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






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






32. Enables "indented" grouping of related attributes. Useful for displaying a report at different levels quickly.






33. Must have Subtotals enabled - or you won't see any data for higher-level attributes






34. Prompts to select filtering criteria from hierarchies - attributes - attribute element lists - and metrics.






35. User requirements - Existing source data - Technical and performance considerations
