Viewing iMIS Analytics cubes for ad-hoc analysis

If the predefined iMIS Analytics Briefing Book for ProClarity Desktop Professional does not provide iMIS business performance data that you would like to examine, you can use ProClarity Desktop Professional to view the iMIS Analytics cubes directly, drilling down into any dimension you choose. The following procedure uses one specific scenario to demonstrate how to use ProClarity Desktop Professional for ad-hoc analysis of a specific type of iMIS information. You can adapt this procedure as necessary to perform ad-hoc analysis of other types of iMIS information.

Note: If you are not using the ProClarity Desktop Professional viewer, you must adapt this procedure as necessary for your choice of OLAP viewer. See your viewer's documentation for more information.

Scenario

In the following sample procedure, you want to analyze group enrollment data that is not available in the iMIS Analytics Briefing Book. You use ProClarity Desktop Professional to browse the GroupEnrollment cube. When you find the data you are looking for, you add the view to the Briefing Book for easy access the next time you want to examine the same information.
