About this Course

This hands-on workshop, for current Webi report designers, will focus on the new features of Web Intelligence 4.0.  Participants will gain an understanding of the skill deltas between Web Intelligence 3.x, 4.0 and the current version, 4.1.

While the core Web Intelligence 4.1 functionality is very similar to previous versions, there are significant differences in the application interface from Version 3.x.

In addition, Web Intelligence 4.1 has new functionality designed to enhance your data analysis and business intelligence activities.

This workshop is designed to familiarize users to the new interface and introduce these new functions and features as you upgrade to 4.1 of the SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform.
It will include presentation, explanation and system demonstrations by the instructor; and hands on activities.

NOTE: This workshop is not designed for users new to the tool.  They would benefit from the more comprehensive trainign in SAP Course BOW310 and BOW320, Web Intelligence 4.1 Report Design Parts 1 & 2.
