2021 Update 3: New ways to visualize data, automate administration, and view application object details

We’ve upgraded! Our classes are always taught on the latest release — sign up now to learn to leverage the latest features with MicroStrategy 2021 Update 3. Some of the course highlights include:

· Visualizations: Foundations and Best Practices: Display metrics side-by-side with the Multi-Metric KPI visualization, and use the Comparison KPI visualization to compare two metrics such as this year’s revenue and last year’s revenue, or performance versus target.

· Platform Administrator: Configuration, Managing, and Optimizing: Use mstrio-py to automate administrative workflows, such as creating users, publishing dossiers, and establishing platform-warehouse connectivity.

· Application Architect: Planning, Standardizing, and Implementing: Leverage Workstation to view component objects. Now you can easily access a detailed view of an application’s component and dependent objects. This helps you determine the objects included in the application and what changes you might need to make to the application.

Automate data validation and testing: Integrity Manager microlearning

Increase the scope, effectiveness, and accuracy of data validation with our new Integrity Manager microlearning. This short, self-paced class provides you with the skills you need to determine how specific changes in a project environment, such as the regular maintenance changes to your application or software upgrades, affect the reliability of essential reports and dossiers. The course includes a MicroStrategy environment for you to experience hands-on learning with Integrity Manager.
