General Release Notes
NEW: Metadata Dossier
May 2021
The Business Intelligence Services team has created a dashboard that will help users identify all available data elements in the Administrative project. Data elements are grouped by type, either attributes (descriptive data) or metrics (measures). Users will be able to browse and search for metrics and attributes by name and category. Furthermore, users will be able to see the descriptions of the metrics and attributes. The Long Description will provide additional information about the attributes and metrics in the Administrative project. This dashboard was designed to help MicroStrategy users better understand the attributes and metrics used in their reports. The BIS team continues to work with subject matter experts from across the University to complete and improve this resource.
