Q: I know the basics of reporting; is this intermediate course the right next step?
A: Yes! If you can already build a basic report but want to learn how to automate your workflow, this is for you. This course is one of our most popular SAP Web Intelligence training courses because it teaches you how to handle more complex data situations and "Smart Controls" for better analysis.
Q: Do I really need to have taken the Introductory course first?
A: Not necessarily, but you should be very comfortable with the foundational skills covered in that level. If you can create queries, format simple tables, and apply basic filters, you’ll be ready to tackle the intermediate topics.
Q: How does the "two half-day sessions" format work for online training?
A: We’ve found that breaking the one-day course into two 3-hour morning sessions is much more effective for remote learning. It allows you to stay focused on the technical training without having to clear your entire work day.
Q: Will I learn how to send reports to my team automatically?
A: Absolutely. A key focus of this intermediate level is the scheduling and automated distribution of documents. You will learn how to set up the system to deliver the right reports to the right people at the right time, saving you significant manual effort.
Q: Does this course cover SAP BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence?
A: No, this training is specifically for the modern Web Intelligence 4.x environment. It is not suitable for those looking for training on the older, legacy Desktop Intelligence versions.
